I’m optimistic that Blizzard will take action against Addons. They are being allowed to call macros in order to automate gameplay. I’m so sick of people using these types of automation tools to simplify their rotation or make decisions based on scripted add-ons. Their changes to macros, such as limiting them to 255 and removing /click, were a positive start. Great job, Blizzard! Let’s talk about add-ons now!
It is more advanced than you can imagine.
Dev here. Addons cant do that.
You have to add external programs to do that.
While addons of course can have an if then else logic and react to combat events, addons can not cast spells, the commands for that are restricted if used from a player client. Addons can rewrite macros on the fly but that does not work in combat so you cant automate the whole rotation into one macro which is rewritten while fighting.
External programs need to perform actions and that is against tos, will be detected and banned.

Just ban all addons and watch the world burn
They haven’t yet added DR tracker , a core game mechanic since Vanilla. We use add-on for this and ppl advocate for banning add-ons? WTAF?
Addons can’t do that but I’m all for removing addons and that comes from the person who writes addons for himself.
They might do, you get banned for just talking now days so they might
