Weak Auras addon project closing shop

First things first—it’s not good, even unacceptable, for a game to depend on addons to improve its gameplay. That said, it’s a huge challenge to balance the current difficulty, whether it’s a boss or class combat, in a way that doesn’t require addons that have been with us for over 20 years. They’re part of the game, part of the player culture.

“Do you guys not have phones?” Forget about consoles—I don’t know why it took so long to implement this change; more than two decades to make it happen. For those who argue and complain that the game is full of abilities and too difficult, in my view they just want the same experience as a mobile game. Because yes, it’s easier to make a game for mobile than for PC, and that’s why they want to simplify WoW—so they can sell it to you on your phone.

If what you want is for WoW to be reduced to that, fine, good for you. Many of us can handle the current challenges; for some, it’s impossible to deal with that much complexity.
