it is visual aids getting the axe. I’m hard of hearing myself, I can only hear out of my right ear and even then it’s not great so when I played WoW I really needed the visual queues via DBM or WeakAuras to be able to effectively participate in Raids, even pug Raids.

All that being said I don’t play anymore. the game just became mediocre story followed by the typical grind fest for gear. it’s of no interest to me anymore.
