Blizzard devs are just upset that race to world first guilds clear the mythic raid too easily.

Blizzard wants you to play their way and their way only. At this point I don’t even know who they think their typical customer is.
I’ll tell you this, fellowship does dungeons better.

Really not trying to ruffle feathers, but you said a few things that I thought were interesting in the sense that they don’t help your argument.
While I’ll admit I may not be a good benchmark for an “average” player, I have 36 keybinds on KB/M (AQWRTG 123456 + shift alt ctrl), and on controller you can very comfortably get (edit:) 32 40 (Up Down Left Right ABXY + LT RT LB RB even more if you include LT+RT, and permutations of that). Granted you’ll need to use a few of those for mouse functions, I still don’t see an issue with this number of available binds.
There are very few instances I can think of that matter, to be honest. With a simple tab targeting setup on the Gamepad (next target and previous target), you can target enemies fairly accurately with little issue.
An information gap is a disadvantage. There is a direct advantage to realizing that installing and using addons is the best solution for quite a few issues, and that information is not presented to the player by the game. While I’m not saying it takes a genius to figure out, if someone was completely blind with the game and had no third party resources, it’s possible they wouldn’t even have the thought to install addons.

That is crazy logic. It is like saying, “You should buy a gun because they have a gun.” You should not need a gun.

Being unable to make any gold in this game without AH addons, is a problem and that you can not see this, is quite telling.
The AH crashed several times because of bots and goblins using addons, making that stop and offering an even playfield for everyone is long overdue.

Too easily? Putting over a thousand pulls on a raid is hardly easy. And that’s after all the prep.
Gold is literally thrown at you in this game

Sure. But that’s the only thing in the game.

It more like everyone can get a gun because guns are free, most people will probably get a gun, and you choosing not to get a gun is a personal choice, not an unfair advantage when you have equal opportunity to get a gun like everyone else.
The point is the “unfair advantage.” There can’t be an unfair advantage if everyone has literally equal access to the same thing.

It was getting to the point that encounters were being designed to challenge addon authors more than players. That’s one of the reasons we get so many “weird for the sake of being weird” mechanics.

People playing the game via the default experience.
This is quite literally irrelevant. They have explained why these restrictions are being implemented and the notion of “Go and download X addons” is not a solution.
Eh… quite literally yes, but WoW doesn’t have default controller support. To use a controller in WoW you have to use ConsolePort and then you can configure a controller to work for WoW.
But there’s no native support for a controller in WoW, and in other Blizzard games that have both controller and mouse and keyboard as an option … well, they quite literally have a disadvantage.
There’s a reason why one of the first balance patches when Overwatch launched had difference balance patches for console compared to PC. On PC, Widowmaker was a problem and required nerfs … whereas on console you had Torbjörn who was a problem due to players not being able to react in time to his turrets.
If you asking this was supposed to be in support of this notion of… whatever your point is, I don’t think you thought it through.

Next they gotta ban people who play too much since its an unfair advantage to have more free time

Plus from everything I’ve seen, they don’t do anything for the player, they just make information that’s already available visible and/or audible to the player in a much clear and concise manner.
Blizz just hates them, and has some players convinced using them is just shy of cheating, because they cut through the obscurantism that Blizz thinks is “challenging game design”.

its an asinine argument if theyre making it. As you say ANYONE of us can use any addons we choose, so there is NOTHING ‘unfair’ about using them if everyone has the same ability to use them.
“im gonna fight this war with a bow an arrows against my Howitzer packing opponent”
Yeah…SELF inflicted 'disadvantage"
Personally, I never expect blizzard to make any logical arguments after that hoax with the water striders way back when they added water walking mount equipment…some joke about DE evolving and losing their water walking

That at least would be acceptable if they just say THAT instead of these longwinded essays how how theyre gonna screw us over for our “own good” lol.
dont get me wrong, I dont use weakauras and couldnt care less if theyre gone, but blizzard isnt stopping the damage there, regrettably.

Players should not have to download addons in order to not be disadvantaged.
Regardless of how you feel about addons, that logic is pretty simple and straightforward.
I don’t think that’s the case because Blizzard could just tune the fights to be harder. That would be really easy to do.

You can’t say everyone has equal access to it if it isn’t included in the game.
