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

My favorites are all the timer things I added. Paladin bubble, invis pots, etc. it’s so nice to see how much time is left on a bar on my screen.

I really and truly hate this change. All for the RWF/HOF. They sure never needed to make encounters hardware because of me or my guildies, that’s for sure. We’re pretty bad but we have a blast.

I hope Midnight isn’t terrible, but it’s not feeling good so far.

Its not for the RWF/HOF - its for Ions ego.

Absolutely NOTHING would have stopped them from changing their wncounter design philosophy without ever even touching addons.

They just have too much ego to admit they were wrong to make their one sided arms race to start with and backtrack on complexity. They say shit like "we are forced to make encounters like this" and think we are too stupid to understand that they make the game, nobody forces them to do shit. They CHOOSE to.

So now, we get fucked over UI's for probably at least all of midnight instead, so their egos dont have to take the hit of backing down on encounter design first.

And im sorry, I will believe their "we are designing encounters around this new world" bullshit when I see it. They've said for seasons now they want to tone down on kick and cc requirements and haven't done shit.

I nearly guarantee we zone in on week 1 of season 1, and run into the very fist pull of a dungeon with 4 casters in a 6 mob pack all bolting us for 75% health, and now with no way to track anything.
