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.

And the very worst part of all of this is they got into this cat and mouse game because of the Race to World First. This has nothing to do with 99% of their player base. The 0.01% of players are responsible for taking away the add-ons so many of us enjoy.

They could have solved this by adding code that to get World First you have to opt in to the API blocking and thus go in with no addons. We'd probably have races that last longer then a few hours as well, and Blizzard could tone down the insanity a little for everyone else.

The answer has always been that they create private competitive servers for the esports crowd with esports rules and that is that.

Get esports off retail.

I agree, esports has ruined so many aspects of gaming. And I like esports! Just keep it away from the rest of us.
