WoW will let some WeakAura-style mods function in its next major patch, as the war on combat AddOns turns into more of a truce
Meeting them halfway.
Blizzard's decision to allow some WeakAura-style mods in the upcoming World of Warcraft patch marks a significant shift in the war on combat AddOns. Initially, the move seemed to disadvantage players who relied on custom mods for better gameplay experience. However, Blizzard has made progress by adding new utilities to its base UI and expanding the API, which allows AddOns to read buffs and debuffs.
This change brings back the functionality of WeakAuras, albeit in a more limited form, enabling players to track enemy debuffs and ally buffs. While this enhancement is a significant step for combat AddOns, it falls short of the full capabilities seen before the Midnight crackdown on these mods.
