Blizzard pleads with World of Warcraft fans not to judge the removal of combat mods too early, because Midnight was designed with it in mind: "We changed some of how we build encounters"

World of Warcraft: Midnight.

Blizzard has made waves in the World of Warcraft community after its decision to remove combat mods, a plan that started to roll into action with the recent release of pre-Midnight patch 12.0 – an update that prepares the MMO for its upcoming expansion pack.

It does so by smoothing things out across the board – but the most significant change is undeniably the restriction of access to user interface add-ons, which folks used during more challenging content like raids to help with cues and combat information.

For many, it's come as quite a blow, but Blizzard thinks folks should wait until they actually get to experience the rest of the changes that Midnight has in store before casting their final judgment.
