This will get fixed very fast. That type of functionality they don’t want in combat
*eating popcorn, waiting for the comments to add salt to my popcorn*
it's kinda crazy how people are so reliant on addons and weakauras that they'll find workarounds they KNOW aren't in Blizz's intended fight design going forward just to get a weakaurafights are hard, there's a lot going on, but i feel like we need to start telling designers that we like clarity, not antagonize and actively try to jump their "Bridge collapsed" signs
I predict a game of cat and mouse that lasts another couple of years, and then either all addons are nuked or we return to 2024's API system for addons. I don't think a middle ground is possible.This game is competitive to the point where people make full time jobs not even playing it at a top level. Lots of people pay their bills from carrying people, farming stuff, etc. With that level of interest in succeeding in the game, the motivation to get ahead for some people is always going to be there. I'm not sure Blizzard wants to maintain a whole department to manage addon security, which is what they need to manage this, not just a small team. You have tens of thousands of people with Claude Code vs a small development team in California.I'd go further, the more blizzard tightens this, the more people are going to just start using external programs and at that point Blizzard will have lost all control
Welp, Blizzard def have to limit this. Unfortunately it will come at the cost of limiting the rotation function for Minimap. Which some do use.They always have to find a way to abuse something that is *obviously* not intended to be used this way for a small advantage, huh.
Blizzard created an addons arms race by limiting how we can use addons. It's just making the game worse as a whole, ngl.
Absolutely wild the lengths people will go not to actually play the game they're playing.
I don't care. Block this too. I Always hated how many addons you needed for mythic raiding and m+. And yes you needed it. Try finding a mythic raiding guild while saying i don't use addons.Edit: and these Bosses are doable without the addons.
This will just be fixed by the time the rest of us plebeians get there anyways so it was the same for S1 the world first guilds had access to addons that where no longer working properly when the rest of us got there
If it's now fixed, I wonder if for those who didn't do it and have issues with multitasking, and dealing with memory game + the add it might make the boss more difficult with 320 item level than it was with 295, since you always have to deal with 3 phases.Not my case, since I managed week 1, but usually I'm one of those who try those fights pretty late, so it'd have been something I'd have had to deal with.
If this ruins farmhud I will not be happy.
