I realize that ‘accessibility’ is being used as a trojan horse again, just like it was used in opposition to dragonriding/skyriding a couple of years ago.

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

I don’t know about plenty of people. There are far too many F2P and mobile games for teens to play these days instead of a 2 decades old game with a monthly sub.

Unholy is a completely different spec on alpha right now.
I see that but it remains to be seen what will need tracking.
No they aren’t. They are increasing it.
They’re trying to make disagreement feel immoral. It goes:
- “If you disagree, you don’t care about accessibility.”
- “If you want WA’s removed you’re attacking people with disabilities.”
Same tactics used by certain groups on twitter to silence any opposing points.

thinking addons are why other players are better than you is delusional. the bigger delusion is blizzard thinking their one UI will work for all areas in the game. AWC PVPers can’t even get a word in with devs about PVP problems and yet we are supposed to accept that devs who after 10 years are still in the newbie pool know how to make a PVP UI?

Oh have they announced a full featured weakauras replacement? If not then they absolutely did not increase it.

Actually the reverse is true. If the top players couldn’t learn to play the game in 21 years without the crutch of addons, when will they ever learn to play?
Any time a lower level player ever complains about the game being hard we always get the same "Get Gud (which rhymes with mud). Turns out the higher level players saying this were never that good. Their “talent” was all done through addons by the computer.

There are new players joining all the time as older ones cycle out. A fair number of these are teenagers or older people looking for a different sort of game than a mobile game. Someone has to either start a new bnet or participate in the guide program to observe this. There always have been. The idea that someone who started playing in MoP is responsible for knowing everything about what happened in the 10 years prior to joining (or even should be intimately connected with all previous Warcraft games) is clueless.
umm, gamepass reported $5 Billion in revenue the last fiscal year.
That’s not a typo.
$5 Billion
seems like a alot to me.
Is $5 Billion really considered “dying” now?

They announced they are pruning class trees, and redesigning the game with the focus on making it easier for the casual gamer dad that has 5 wives and 20 kids and can only play for 2 minutes a day. You should be happy.

The insecurity is all your own. Addons have been the issue and have caused classes and encounters to be designed around the fact that people use them, that time is over now.
The delusion is you thinking you have to use WA to perform and enjoy the game.

So, let me spell this out for you:
Right now I can play the game at a heroic/lower mythic level. I have weak auras that are large enough I can see them. I have sound cues that tell me when abilities are usable. You would not know I am handicapped to watch me play.
And they are removing EVERYTHING that allows me to play and replacing it with… a single button that I press over and over and over and get middling LFR level dps/hps out of…
Why would I play that? Would you want to just press one button over and over and over? How is that fun?

So you don’t know how the spec will play but you do know with 100% certainty it will be unplayable without addons. Got it
what handicap do you have other than using WA?

They’re trying to attract Gen Alpha to the game, you know, the generation raised on tablets and phones and with the attention span of a gnat.

That proves WoW has been overdesigned to the point that add ons became mandatory for accessibility. Blizzard fixing that at the root is healthier than relying on a fragile mod ecosystem.
You not wanting to play a one button game has nothing to do with accessibility. That’s personal preference and your own subjective opinion.

I can tell ya right now, there’s no where that asking this question can go besides awful places. The concern for accessibility is valid, whether or not any individual meets any other player’s definition of what they SHOULD need.
If Blizzard doesn’t bring something, it’s gonna suck for a ton of players.
