Contemplating playing WoW, but man, addons have killed my interest last few expansions. Hard to play competitively without 5-6 addons that everyone else has, including weakauras. Pain in the butt to set up. A balance change to my class can mean new auras, new setup.

      I could just.... not download them. I tried that in Shadowlands, but not playing optimally just grinded away at my senses until I gave in. I finished the release content, took a break, came back from first major patch. All my addons were busted, couldn't be bothered to redo it.

          @IksarHS fwiw I think it's more playable without addons now than it has been since maybe Wrath? maybe TBC? the new UI overhaul is very very good. Weakauras are still hard to do without, but most other things feel skippable

            @JeffAHamilton unfortunately like 90% of my problem with addons is weakauras setup

          @IksarHS At some point you stopped playing EQ expansions, right? This could be the time to stop playing WoW expansions. Did you see this video by Folding Ideas on addons a few days ago, is it amplifying the irritation? https://t.co/3FnToriMW2

            @MooCheese I just still love the universe. I'll play the story. I'll learn about the systems they add, always interesting as a designer. I'll check out the new environments and music. Then I'll do mythics until I plateau on gear/dungeon progression, then probably quit.
