Not having combat UI mods in WoW hurts way less than I expected, and while I think Blizzard still has some work to do, I'm mostly just happy for the peace and quiet

World of Warcraft: Midnight's pre-patch is now live, meaning players are currently shivering in a cold room from the mother of all modding comedowns. I'm one of 'em, given I've always had stacks of Weakauras enabled to help soothe the ache of WoW's sometimes-janky class design.

In case you're unaware, WoW's been of a mind to fix its UI mod (addon) problem for a long time. Specifically, combat addons—the idea being, a player shouldn't have a raw competitive advantage because they had a bunch of third-party plugins installed.
