As tittle states, for season of discovery, please Ban all weak aura and addons that basically play the game for you. If your looking to recapture the love and romance of classic then this will go along way.
Its just tragic that all these addons and weak auras take away the skill of the game. Also it makes it a totally unbalanced playing field if one person has access to these game breaking tools vs someone who is a purist and enjoys the older game style.
I think a ban on all weak auras and addons is a must for the enjoyment of all involved.
And to all those who will cry about this post who uses weak auras to play the game for you id say ⊠get good. Learn the game properly.
a few off the top of my head⊠stealth detection ⊠gladiatorlosa telling people what spells have been used. spell tracker / tracking kicks and silences⊠as i said these overpowered weak auras are just stupid⊠Snutz who won the recent tournament said in his own words,⊠â its disgusting how many weak auras there are ââ Theres no skill involved ââ
please Blizzard , i dont post much on the forums, but if this is a time for change? then please kill the weak aura abomination.
The game would be a loooooooooooooooooot more fun without addons I agree !
But, there is no way Blizzard can enforce a ban, unfortunately. Its like the poker(-stars) companies (Full Tilt, GG etcâŠ) saying they ban or prohibit tracker programmes. Pipe dream, there is nothing they can do that an ordinary computer engineer cannot get around, heck, Im certain a computerstudent in his first university year can do this.
If they ban Weakauras I need some more interface options cause I use that addon to fix their unintuitive mess of an interface soup and highlight the important parts.
One more 800 IQ take from our fav forum user, the gift that keeps on giving.
Iâm gonna break it down to you in simpler terms, itâs not that he personally doesnât like to use the addons, itâs that it gives an unfair advantage to OTHER players so it affects him INDIRECTLY, essentially forcing you to also use the addons, making the game easier.
Donât you think the game would be more fun without an addon holding your hand and telling you move left, move right, press this, press that, look at this, look at that?
They can ban certain addons easily or break them, they did it numerous times.
Agree, it was so rewarding when knowing stuff and timing actually gave you an edge, all these addons have dumbed the game so far down, itâs like playing the new pokemon games where you can see what attacks are effective and not⊠would be lovely to see all addons banned.
I loath addons with a passion! They ban them in Final Fantasy 14 and if youâre caught, youâre banned! Iâd love to see that in WoW
Itâs funny when people want you to have watched YouTube videos and a myriad of addons to take part in content. I think itâs the generation that just canât work things out for themselves and need to be spoon fed âtheirâ success. I recall during TBC our guild (which I shall not mention) had a forum and we used to work out the fight and then create posts and guides to the bosses. This in itself felt like content within the game, despite it taking place on a guild forum. Iâve always said that WoW is a platform for content and not all of the content. Sadly, over time the guild broke up due to real life progress of individuals. I really do miss the old play style mentality, it really gave you a sense of achievement.
With that said, I would like to see WoW be a bit more assertive and make the UI more useable by moving the bars around, more bars, altering the size of the bars, in and out of combat bars. This is done in other games really well, most notably Star Wars the Old Republic, which achieved this on day 1 of the release about 12years ago!!! You see some of the addons in WoW and they look like they should be in a sci-fi game too!
It would also be nice to see the multi buttons that we get in retail, like the Warlock pet button. This would help declutter the UI for a more positive experience. Iâve tried Bartender in the past and I have to say that that is the direction WoW needs to move. It doesnât break the game or give any gaming advantage (outside of a better organised bar) but the quality of life it gives is amazeballs!!!
Then why addon haters quit the game so quick if it gets more complicated than Classic tank and spank 60 second fights? They can only play what they learned for 10 years and repeat same operation?
The majority of addons are for assistance, for players unable to wipe their butts on their own.
Only purely ergonomic addons and not in-game assistance should be authorized. The gameplay of a game should be the same for everyone, having addons that modify this is nothing more and nothing less like cheating.
And I wouldnât say my opinion on players who need to cheat to be competitive. This would be outside the charter.
another 80 IQ take. Addons have a place because default UI is a mess. And outside of PVP which I donât care about, How are these addons affecting you Indirectly? lowering your parses? who cares. or if you care and you still can not parse high without addons it means that you need them or you are not good âą.
