Hey there! So, I’d like to speak about the AddOn removal issue and offer some level of reassurance to players who are panicking.
Some background on me: No, I do not work for or speak for Blizzard (Lol Obviously), but I am a freelance accessibility consultant, which means it is literally my job to test play games and make suggestions on how to implement changes that would benefit disabled players.
I am, of course, disabled myself. I am legally blind (20/200 uncorrectable vision) with nystagmus. I’m also on the autism spectrum with some sensory overload complications. I mention this because low vision and UI issues are what I’m often hired to assess, so I have the most experience with those things specifically.
I mainly want to say that A LOT of companies (including Blizzard - I’ve seen several job postings from them through AbleGamers) do make this a priority. We are hired by big name and small indie companies alike to help improve games for the disabled community.
This kind of happens behind the scenes, and it’s one of those things people aren’t really aware of unless they look into it, so I get why many think companies don’t care, and disabled gamers aren’t considered. But trust me, we are. I mean, think about it - us disabled folks (in general) spend more time at home than able-bodied individuals. It would be stupid for gaming companies to not capitalize on that market, especially MMOs.
Anyway, I’d like to say that I honestly think that the game as a whole will be tons better for disabled players - especially the visually impaired - once raid fights are no longer so complex and cluttered.
Losing some addon functionality seems like a punishment now, I get it, but the big picture is that - in my professional opinion - this will make the game more accessible in the long run.
(Not to mention they probably won’t take away 75% of QoL accessibility addons - only the ones automating fight mechanics, so most of you will be fine anyway).
And, you know, even if hypothetically the worst case scenario happens. Like the worst possible timeline where disabled people are no longer able to play the game … that would never last.
You have a voice, and these companies do hear it. I mean, I’ve ranted about annoying things in games that obviously need to be improved upon before - and I’m not talking about through an employment contract, just as a customer on a message board - and I’ve seen changes. Heck, Blizzard themselves has caved to visually impaired players’ feedback before already. We have highlighted nodes and quest objects thanks to our collective frustration and outcry, as one example. 
So, you know, don’t stress too much. Doomsday is not upon us. I can’t guarantee anything, I realize this. But I sincerely do think it’ll work out. And if it doesn’t, then you must simply speak out.
One last point I’d like to shine a light on: I saw a post earlier that said, “Yeah, disabled people get options eventually, but we have to demand them first.” Well, yes. That’s how this has to work. And the simple reason is the very reason my job exists - because able bodied game designers do not instinctively grasp how we see and interact with their product. And this is not a stab at them - of course they can’t. If you have working legs, how often do you consider how hard your city is to navigate in a wheelchair?
It’s not an instinctive thing for them to think about. This, above all else, is why your voice matters. It’s not that they don’t care; lots of times, they’re simply not aware.
And on top of that, do you know who the best people are to know how to address issue affecting disabled gamers? … Disabled gamers themselves. I have talked with dozens of game devs about the importance of color distinction and edge outlines for low-vision players (this doesn’t apply to color blindness, obviously, but is a game changer for low vision). And … they honestly never considered it. It’s not intuitive for them to do so.
So yes, your input matters. Your experiences matter. Your suggested solutions also matter, probably more than you realize. And Blizzard, and other companies, are listening.
Anyway, much <3 and I do think things will work out.
