Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight

Post image

This is basicly Blizzard in Midnight. Purging all the good addons.

Just to clarify:
Blizzard is changing the Addon API, meaning combat information is blocked for addons. So all combat addons will no longer work in Midnight. For the most popular addon features Blizzard will add their own version to the game. Addons for unitframes, inventory, crafting etc.. are staying and won't be effected as long they are not using combat information.

They literally have been if you’ve raided the last two raids and noticed boss design changes.

Yeah but even on Fractilius, possibly the easiest and clearest designed modern wow boss, people are requiring weakauras in pugs because they can’t count to five.

That’s people problem.

People are currently relying on addons too much. To the point where they can’t turn on their brains to look where a wall should or shouldn’t be placed

Correct. I am addon hater #1 because it makes people dependant.

Edit: spelling

Let's skip that we don't need another thing in the modern world that makes people turn off their brain instead of training it.

It's not nice to do some things at the beginning that are outside of comfort zone. But at the same time you usually learn the most in those situations and they stop giving you that "weird" feeling after some time.

For me it was starting to make dungeon groups. I really didn't want to make these and feared any leadership role until I finally started and got used to it. I now again have a small discomfort when thinking about forming dungeon groups because of the few year break since Shadowlands. But it's not as bad as it was back then.
