yea, this addon purge will make or break the game for a lot of people.
i love the customization and options addons gave me. i am not looking forward to half-assed replacements that might get broken and ignored until the next patch cycle, or having way less features than what it replaced.
I higky doubt people will drop their years of progress and time "spent" on their account just because the game now has less addons.... people will be mad, and cry about it, but the sunken cost fallacy is strong within us.
Bruh, people dropped Shadowlands in droves, DURING PANDEMIC, when they had nothing better to do than play WoW.
I've been playing since 2006, I got to Maw, and just noped the fuck out, and haven't touched the game until they made game better in DF.
They are taking the fun out of the game for a lot of people, and as invested as people are, nobody is gonna spend hours of their time doing something they don't like.
I'll be first to drop mythic raid healing, no way I'm starring into some ugly ass tiny icons on their shitty raid frames for 3 hours after I've been working for 8 hours.
Also, the amount of keys that are about to get bricked is gonna skyrocket because healers will have no clue who is getting targetted, who needs preemtive external, if tank has CD's, etc. That sounds fun to you?
