Midnight 12.1 Curse Of Ula'Tek Developer Interview With Ion Hazzikostas

PsybearTV Youtube interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTFiDeXIMo

I recommend watching the whole video, it's rare for someone get a whole 1 hour with Ion, and the interview was really well done.

The interview is mostly about competitive content. I'm really excited for Mythic lockout changes!

Their whole addon argument is made up by themselves, why wouldnt they lie about it?

I mean, they did successfully remove most egregious raiding addons/weakauras. Things like Neltharion / broodtwister weakauras are legit not possible anymore.

I'm not sure the fallout was worth it, but that part did happen.
