Srsly now blizzard? After 20 years, you just decided to flip the switch on combat log and destroy the most valuable addons the community has?
Has any of you thought that the game is heavily dependant around those addons and without them we wont be able to play it?
Lol why you remove nameplates is customization giving us an ‘‘unfair advantage’’?
I get it you want to make the game noob friendly to attract new blood cause old timers got sick and tired of WoW 1 for 20+ years and not developing WoW 2 instead.
But instead this will be the last nail in the coffin.
Go ahead remove them i cant wait for WoW 2 and this time implement the ‘‘addons’’ yourself nice and optimized.
Do NOT remove ANYTHING you will kill the game.
This is my feedback i have been playing since 2005 and many of my friend are upset about this and a lot have said that they will quit the game because of this.
Like i said this is my feedback take it or leave it, its your game that is at stake.
It is wrong to remove addons from WoW if you want a noob friendly game go play something else.
Ppl quit wow and the numbers fall not because of the complexity and the ''overwhelming" add-ons but because its 20 yo engine that has surpassed its lifetime by a long and ppl spent 3k for PC with 9800x3d and 5090 and they like put that hardware into good use and play modern egine games like UE5.
Instead of just turning the switch on combat log thinking that you actually make something good for the game why dont you put some effort to finally start developing WoW 2?
It will keep you occupied for another 20 years no other game has achieved that.
Quit on milking that old cow and finally deliver us WoW 2 blizzard.
This is my last word and hear it good.
Addons and its customization is what kept me to WoW for so long.
Go ahead criple your game and sent away your loyal customers just to gain the chance to attract new noob friendly blood.
If you are a player who is fine without using addons or don’t like using them then don’t use them, but dont take them away from the ones that actually utilize them…
Maybe remove automation addons like Hekili and GSE but nothing else.
But then you implement automation 1 button rotation thing? lol
Finally, if you want to remove add-ons 20 years in is a bad time to do so, taking away something ppl learned to use, like and enjoy using is just wrong, we have become to much dependent on add-ons with this game and thats a plus for the game if you ask me, there is no other mmo that supports so much customization and thats a good thing that keeps the game alive despite the graphics from 2004.
Instead, if you want to do things right, and you really want to remove add-ons as a good thing you can’t do it in WoW 1 but only if you make WoW 2 from scratch and build it like a modern mmo with the functions an mmo needs to be implemented into your UI and don’t allow modders to create any addons ever, it is that simple, but no you don’t want to make things right you just want to take shortcuts don’t you?
Just let us be! PvE will become impossible hardish for no reason and PvP will be a dull combat that no1 understands what is going on.
The game is to much complicated and over developed to remove addons at this point of time i wonder how you ppl dont see that?
Like i said no1 is forcing anyone to use addons for the ppl that dont need them or dont like them, hey just don’t use them! You don’t have to use them if you get along without them, don’t waste your time installing and setting up an add-ons.
Removing them won’t make the game simple and easy and polished it will still be the same old overdeveloped wow but without understanding the mechanics and tracking yours and enemy skills is just a pure downgrade to the strategic gameplay aspect of the game and many of us will be lost.
There is a REASON those addons where created in the first place!
Don’t like them? then dont use them its that simple! and let blizzard implement their own crappy versions, but dont take away something we have adopted and eventually love to use for years now!
