Any 3rd party app and overlay that allows you to enhance your experience i.e make raiding easier, make m+ easier, make arenas easier should be banned and any player that gets caught using them should be banned as well permanently and with no regrets. Thanks for hearing me out.
Most of these 3rd party apps will likely get the data the same way botting apps do, so that will be fun for people who decide to use them.
The day is coming when the advanced logging option will be disabled during combat.
mod writers trying their hardest to make blizzard step in and limit the game more. way to go, keep up the good work.
I’ve often wondered: why bother playing the game at all? Soon there will AI that will play the game for us. Just a hop and skip away from all of these add-ons.
The Dev's themselves already admited they make fights overcomplicated because they are already taking into account the ammount of "aids" (addons) ppl use to raid.So, for me, it's quite simple.Ban all addons such as WA, DBM, BigWigs etc, and reduce raid mechanics, making it possible to kill mythic bosses without the aid of addons. Make it all down to the player/Raid Leader.I for sure would enjoy not having to memorize a plethora of abilities and placements and assigments that are required to know in a single boss fight (and expecting 19 other ppl to do it too). Feels like I'm studying for an exam.My FPS would also be grateful. It's getting stupid expensive to mantain a PC up to date to play this game with good graphics while running so many addons.
Just get rid of damage logs.
They should honestly no worry about this and embrace it, the only thing they should do is find a way to nullify it for race to world first, The race shouldn't be about who can develop the best overlay first to beat a fight. just disable advanced combat logging until the Race is over, those guilds aren't posting logs anyways so they can definitely do without real time logs. Once the .1% have done what they need to do open it up. this will only promote the health of the game. People who purchase carries will eventually not have pay as much because more guilds will complete the content and drive the price down. I don't see this as a bad thing, but something that needs to have a temporary gated control in place. Blizzard is already following this path with gear upgrades and allowing gear to be upgrade to 447 now, so why now allow an easier time later on for those that aren't the .1%.
if addons or third party stuff add SO much that playing without them is extremely hard, they should go... because it doesnt show the skill of player, but only if he is able to download something someone else craftedFF XIV for example punished people for using zoom out during one of their hardest raids, because it gave unfair advantage
Thing is tho, if players are feeling the need to go through the effort to get these its because the fights are just getting to complex or hard to see what's going on /coordinate mechanics , its a failure on blizzards raid design if players feel they need these to do the raid
PRO tip: stop designing encounters with so many #$%^ happening all the time and make everything properly telegraphed.
What probably needs to really happen is blizz needs to realize mechanics (like Volcanic Heart) that make these bosses almost impossible without help are maybe not so good for the game. Like, whenever I see intricate weakauras like a *map overlay* become a necessity, I just wonder why they think a design like that makes it into the game. It's like how people just used the Mists of Tirna Scithe autonavigate weakaura (which I bet people wouldn't have used so often if you didn't have to physically stand near the stumps to activate the sigils FFS)... Sometimes it really feels like they designed the mechanics to be almost fun and then added in something to ruin it.
