^^ Doesn’t this WeakAura usage and this kind of behavior go against the spirit of the EULA we all agree to?
“We encourage our players to cooperate…”
“Play as a team with your fellow players – whether in dungeons, raids, or PvP.”
These guidelines clearly highlight Blizzard’s intent for players to engage in the multiplayer aspects of the game, fostering a collaborative environment, not an exclusionary one.

ngl I am actually laughing right now. This is unbelieably funny.
My God… chuckle
I repeat: There should be no such thing as a one button rotation to try to solve 13 button rotations. The whole thing is utter madness. It’s time to re-evaluate where we’re going with these classes.
It’s like the more buttons and procs they add the fewer options we seem to have. I hate it.

People have been filtering bad players out of their groups with various methods for years, this doesn’t change anything. Using the one-button rotation makes you play like a bad player, so you would be identified with or without a weakaura.
Find a guild and/or play with friends and you have no issues.

Why do you even need this? Just kick people if they have low DPS. Or are you going to be salty if someone with a one button rotation is doing more damage than you?

That is the only reason I can think of.
If they don’t do enough DMG they would be kicked anyway so why sit down and make that weakaura?
It’s just spite cause they don’t want others to play in a way they don’t approve of.
My brother did mythic raids until df he had a talk with his raid lead cause he was using a talent that wasn’t the optimal choice.
My brother pointed out that he still does more DMG then the others DPS players despite using that one suboptimal talent.
He had to use the optimal talent he he was gonna be kicked.
Some people just want to control how other have fun

Technically yes but by these guidelines some m+ pug runs should end in +5 banned accounts so I doubt they follow them to the letter
I would call myself an average player and I enjoy the one button rotation.
It’s relaxing.
Besides: I still use various other skills in combat. I don’t ‘actually’ only use 1 button. 
On topic: I hate, absolutely hate, that some players are this way. What a spiteful, control freak of a human being do you have to be to actively develop this kind of addon. I mean, really.

Indeed. Someone faltering is obvious. Then they need practice, like I do.
Excellent hat.
It’s about control many times, yes; social dominance.
A reason to never mingle more than on the surface and never join anything.
It’s cult-like and, quite frankly, repulsive.
If someone’s running for world first and they’re a coherent team, they will make decisions based on common consensus and that everyone in the group need to adhere to or group coordination and performance suffer from it.
Pretenders without mutual understanding, like you are running for this together and everyone has agreed, has no business conducting operations like that over the head of casual members. But there’s many who enjoy forcing their arbitrary rules upon others, conformitists. It’s quite modern to dabble in others business.
Just not worth joining, not worth playing; not worth joining anything based on the existence of this. And I don’t think that I’m that extreme either, I think many shun away from this. Better to play alone and take the point you liked than being pushed to others ideas. Especially when there’s little reason beyond the control itself.
People who do this always scoff at people like me though, and they’ll keep doing that since their position is fortified by the systems of Blizzard. But as we progress these games I think it will become apparent that the fundament isn’t competitiveness but freedom of expression. The points are supposed to be mine to express how my character plays and how I want to play, how I think is cool and what my current belief is.
However, as things stand I suppose more tinkering is needed. There is reason for the meta also, it’s just so utterly aggravating when everyone gets pushed to make optimal choices for no other reason than that their choice is being decided for them. Once you are at the pinnacle, you will understand the meta too; there’s no need to force anything because it will be obvious.
“I want to put in zero effort but get the results I would get for putting in maximum effort.”

What’s it to you? You wanted results, got 'em, but it’s not enough cause you’re putting in and don’t want to. You feel punished and therefore others should be punished also.
I feel invigorated by the challenge of making a perfect play, but you just feel that the difference between you and someone else isn’t as accentuated anymore and that it should be because what else are you expending effort for?
It’s your experience you are expending effort for, not for anyone else but yourself. There’s no one else there, it’s just you. Think on that. No wait, someone else think on that while you keep cursing and frowning on others.

If that’s true, that’s on one side disgusting behavior. On another I kinda do understand if Raid party leaders want people to not take the cut from One-Button-Rotation players.
No I don’t. I love that most people put in zero effort. It makes IRL very easy.
Still, what a very bizarre assumption of my thoughts and feelings. I don’t even use weak auras so I would have no idea if someone was using OBR and I wouldn’t care.
And that’s hardly the case. You’re not going to be tuning in to the World First Race or Mythic+ Invitationals and see players adapting one-button rotations into their gameplay.
In normal, standard content (below +10s), who actually cares? Do you think it’s the pros — the sweats — who are upset about one-button rotations and harassing people over it? No, not at all.
It’s the mid-tier “Johnny Awesomes” who feel the need to put others down so as to elevate themselves.

I’m not upset I was just responding to someone asking for clarity. You seem more upset than me.

People using the tools Blizzard provide have nothing to worry about.
The “pros” who will use any excuse to be just generally unpleasant and do their hardest to ruin someone’s game experience (I’m constantly being told that’s against the ToS but here we are Blizzard…) should be the ones worried.
And not just because they’re being shown as being nowhere as good as they think they are.

I never said you were upset — I was pointing out that it won’t be the pros or sweats who are bothered by the one-button rotation.
I was just responding to your comment and offering a counterpoint to that kind of mentality, which is a genuine mindset some players carry… an exclusionary one.

It’s always been like that though. Some people think weak auras are cheating.
I, who uses the base UI and zero weak auras cannot comment on if they are or aren’t though since I have never used them.
Cool, then we share something in common — we both don’t use WeakAuras. I don’t really use addons at all.
This actually raises an interesting point… there seems to be a disconnect, almost a double standard here. Addon users — or at least the type prepared to spend time tweaking and installing WeakAuras, which arguably minimizes difficulty or provides incredibly useful information to make encounters and mechanics easier — are taking issue with people using a genuine, Blizzard-supported in-game feature that simplifies and makes class rotation easier.
Pot, meet kettle.
