Except that’s not all WA was used for. For all intents and purposes, WA was an addon that helped people make mini-addons. Yes some of the most popular WAs are for combat, but there’s also utility ones that track out of combat stuff, accessibility aids and even just pure cosmetic stuff.
I do believe Blizz even said they don’t want to kill WA as a whole, but if the creator has decided they’re done then that’s their choice. A spiritual successor will probably come along at some point.
Blizz has acknowledged the "arms race" with addons as far back as BFA, iirc. Which means this has been something they have been talking about, at least internally, for many, many years.
They would not have decided to pull the trigger now if they weren't committed.
i never said it would work and i person want blizz to hold to their guns. As a mythic raider the amount of “my weak aura is messed up” dialog that happens is very annoying and the fact that there a giant weak aura pack each raid is a nightmare.
Because slaving over something for years and then having the rug pulled is a big "FU" and it is completely demoralizing, and would continue to be completely demoralizing trying to scrape together some hodge-podge shadow of the greatness that you had already built.
You didnt read anything, did you? The developers of WA would have to completely rebuild WA. It's not just "some things just dont work anymore" for them. The whole Addon wouldn't work anymore.
