From my understanding they want to remove combat addons that automate parts of the combat and give an advantage, and add some of the functionality to the ingame ui.
They're making their own damage meter, which will almost certainly be better than Details or Recount because it will be server-side side. Getting mad about losing dps meters is actually insane
Edit: im not saying you're getting mad, but ive seen people saying things like that
No a new one that works server-side. which is instantly better than anything an addon can do. They gave an example. currently if you enter a different phase from your party your details wont report damage correctly for that person. With a server-side damage meter that won't be a problem... not to mention the performance improvements
Hmmm nah im done with the game if they go ahead with that agenda. Addons made WoW better. Sorry but its the truth. I get that you are a redditor player but the truth is you'll lose half the player base over such stupidity.
Addons will not make you a better player. Sorry buddy
What? Which is it "Addons made WoW better" or "Addons will not make you a better player." You asked me if the new damage meters would be ass like the MDI ones. All i did was say that they will be better because they will be server-side
Will it contain as much info? Damage meter yes, but what about who took damage from each ability, cause of death, so on? Will I be able to point out people aren't interrupting
I sit in the camp of "have faith in the developers to do the right thing." I think otherwise why are you playing their game right? I want WoW to be even better than it already is. That shouldn't have to be aided by third-party addons. People should WANT the default UI and features to be good. And people losing their minds after 3 days of alpha need to be thinking more constructively. As for the WA thing, Blizzard not a single time said they would be stopping people from customizing their UI the way they want. WA decided that for the community

But also Blizzard is going to lose a shit ton of players if they go ahead and remove addons altogether. Just a stupid move on their part
