Most raiding addons are about feeding info to you that would otherwise be really hard to find or take too long to communicate. I'm torn cause its kinda nice to know whose cd's are up and when the boss's next fear is coming etc. It allows you an easier mastery of a fight than if it was all blind and communicated through voip or whatever AND it allows one person to be a more effective leader rather than having everyone know everything at all times, which for a player like myself who gives the game a half effort everynow and then is nice. Then again there is a disparity between people who use addons effectively and those who dont in, say, mythic+. Someone who uses weakauras effectively will probably think it takes almost no time at all to setup and get running so why not do it. Then the other addons that have less to do with combat and more to do with UI clean up or just different visuals are fine. I do think weakauras is too good, it can basically do anything. (or maybe it is very limited and i'm ignorant as fuck)
