I’m giving you the response you’ve earned, not the response you want. Your best response is grasping at straws and bending over backwards to white knight a company that couldn’t care less about you while constantly contradicting their very own press releases.
And this is why you earn low effort responses, you’re not capable of having a proper conversation when your “education” forms from your own npc like programing.
There are also going to be a lot of faces from players who think that it was “just addons” that separated the players beating the high-end raid content, from them.
This question has been asked and answered a hundred times, yet somehow people still get it wrong.
If a boss should take a 100 pulls today, that same boss should take 100 pulls in Midnight.
But yes, to compensate for lesser addon involvement, a boss that maybe would have had a 4 second mechanic window will now have a 5 second mechanic window, a boss that summoned 3 adds might now summon 2.
More importantly, that “takes 100 pulls” thing is a great example of what warps Blizz’s thinking in the design and tweaking of game… the obsession with how long things take, or how many tries, or how much grind… instead how enjoyable and engaging they are.
And the real reason they’ve always hated addons… addons simply give people some control back, and take some control over that “how much grind?” out of Blizz’s hands… and Blizz HATES that.
If were getting rid of addons that allowed people with whatever disability to play at top levels and this then forces them to play at a lower level. Then we need to allow them a pathway to the same rewards. I think Tier 11 Delves addressed this somewhat. Not well enough but I have compassion So I don’t see anything wrong with people getting gilded crest like rewards through a longer/harder solo path.
And this is why you earn the responses you get from me. I’ve clearly stated my position and brought the evidence for it. Your counter to it is “well, my opinion is” and treat it like fact. This is why you get nothing and deserve less.
