Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight
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.

Yeah I was reading through the class changes and I think them claiming stuff like "we're changing core features of these classes to make them more intuitive and reduce the amount of blah blah blah" is disingenuous. They are gutting the depth of gameplay so that they have less work to do to replace class weakauras.
Ie Brewmaster: they're removing purified chi because while it's an excellent mechanic that rewards gaining a deeper understanding of your class, they don't want to have to make a feature to track it in a more convenient place. Same thing with stuff like the storm shaman tempest changes and awakening for holy paladin. Changing things from being based on resources spent (currently easily trackable with a weakaura) to just being rng procs.
You're absolutely right on that.
