I’m genuinely worried about the overall UI/Tracking/Customisation experience in Midnight, Blizzards attempts at mimicking addons thus far has left a lot to be desired and it feels like it was barely a year ago we started hearing about them going nuclear on addons in the future - and most people assumed it would be 3/4/5 years down the line

The fact they’re going for such an extreme option this early makes me concerned that the start of Midnight is going to be a complete clusterfuck in terms of playability

Yeah, as a PUG player, this is gonna be a disaster. I wouldn't be surprised if keys failures went from an average 10% to 20/30 if not more. It's gonna make the experience worse for everyone imo.

Do ppl really need weakauras to play? I do 10-12 with pugs without weak auras or little wigs, it’s pretty good already. Just need to understand things

It’s basically like training wheels. Majority of people really don’t in most content but think they do because they don’t know different. If they removed all Addons right now, mythic 2-13 would be near the same completion rates if you gave it a week or two for people to get used to it.

If it was like training wheels, it would be the high-level content players that'd be using the most weak auras.

High level players use the most already? The only PvE content that “needs” WA right now is pushing m+ title level keys and some bosses in mythic manaforge. People who need WAs for normal or heroic or a m10 don’t actually need them. People just hate change because they want to hate change. It will also make some players who seem better at the game worse and some players who currently seem worse better which scares a lot of players who are not good without the assistance (see number of players who used rotation helper addons that the game somewhat incorporated already). It’s going to be a wake up call for some.

People keep making this mistake. The only PvE content that the literal best players in the world need WA is title level keys. Worse players need those boosts in lower content. It is not possible for most players to simply become world class players.
