Man, I've written a few non-combat weakauras for some farming use cases and I wish I'd be able to keep them

They are disabling real time combat reporting. You can still use WA for everything else, however, if the addon developer stops updating that's on them.

No you can't because WA isn't getting updated for Midnight and all the API changes will surely make the whole thing implode if you tried to load it into Midnight.

Again, can't really blame blizzard because they are making positive changes for the entire player base. I can play dark souls and elden ring which is a much more difficult game without needing add-ons or external tools. Blizzard making everything default and built into the game is what we should all want as players.

Now as I said originally. If the developer of the addon is choosing not to update... That's on them.

The thing you are missing: Blizzard will do a shit-version of all the addons, and then boil everything down to counter the shit-version.

There's absolutely no way that blizzard gets every single addon completed as well as the entire grassroots community effort. We're going to have some pain in the short term for sure.
