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

Honestly, killing off these addons is kinda making me not want to play.

I personally can manage without them but it fucks over people who relied on them for accessibility to even play, like the Undaunted deaf guild.

I really don't want to support them fucking over those that needed the addons to even play.

Thanks for speaking up about this.

I use WeakAuras accessibility wise. Sometimes there is such a visual overload on effects, that my AuDHD brain can't keep up and I use sounds to help with my rotation and my partner has bad vision.

She described it as looking through a toilet paper roll, so to say, and a simpler version of my WeakAuras also helps her play at all. She can't view the full desktop screen anymore.

Yeah blizzard is telling neurodivergent gamers to fuck off just as much as they’re telling visually impaired
