No, the point is these fights are so mechanically complex that you save yourself hundreds of wipes by having these weak auras automate things you otherwise can’t efficiently call out in time due to bomb timers and other such short duration events.
Best comparison I can think of is the value in tracking your teammates’ defensive cooldowns as a healer in Shuffle, it makes it 10x easier to not overlap externals with personals that you’re at a permanent disadvantage if you don’t.
… are you serious? You can’t possibly be serious…
Ya… that’s the problem… people don’t even need to be good, they just get carried by addons. It’s like aim assist in shooters, you’re not actually good you’re getting carried by training wheels. Hence my point of why it’s a problem, people don’t need to be good anymore, they just need a bunch of 3rd party addons to hold their hands.
I wish you luck doing Sprocket on mythic then.
LOL I wish you luck playing an MMORPG that doesn’t give you a bunch of training wheels. Just fyi no other MMORPG’s allow addons 
Other MMO’s give you clear in game indications of things.
So does WoW…
Yeah, as of 5 mins ago.
… so you’re just going to troll now? Typical…
You’re doing a good job of that yourself.
It’s mostly that a lot of what you’ve said in this thread simply comes from a place of ignorance having either not done mythic raiding in modern memory or you have and are simply choosing to be contrarian for the sake of it.
Whatever…
Whatever you need to tell yourself dude. Facts over feelings.
I mean, it’s nothing personal against you, I just vehemently disagree with you on this. It’s just way more efficient to automate a process for 20 people that regularly do content together.
Ya… proving my point. Why even play the game? The whole point of a game is to learn and get good at it… if you have a bunch of addons doing the hard part for you WTF is the point…
Learning an encounter and getting in enough repetition to produce results reliably is a satisfying feeling for a lot of people.
Notice how WoW has a dying player base? Most people actually want a challenge. The only challenge left in this game is pvp, and even that is failing
People engage with retail more when keys are easier.
You realize keys haven’t been around that long right? Way more players before mythic + was introduced, and back when raids where actually hard.
Classic has well proven that old raids were not actually hard. If you mean WoD era then no, those raids were not hard, and they were still solved by weak auras (Archimonde).
They were back in the day when everyone didn’t already know everything… that’s kind of proof of my point. Sure, people went back to classic and did it easy because they already knew everything and knew the best gear…
Archimonde… really?..
Yeah, so the raids weren’t actually hard, people just sucked at WoW back then.
… you have to just be trolling at this point… not knowing every part of every fight because you don’t have a stupid addon telling you everything does not make you bad… it’s the exact opposite. This is so pointless, addons make the game easy, learning the game is hard, hence why these “pros” need the addons to carry them. Simply stuff.
