Addons are a crucial part of World of Warcraft. Not only can you use them to help you through intense dungeon and raid encounters, but there are addons for pretty much everything: auction houses, professions, and gear. Patch 10.2. 7 could change that.

According to a dataminer, Patch 10.2. 7 could spell the end of addons as you know them. They discovered that addon comms are "severely limited server-side" in the current version of Patch 10.2. 7 (currently live on the PTR). This should render many addons useless, namely TRP3, a roleplaying addon that allows players to create their own profiles for others to see and interact with. This addon should now load between 20 and 90 seconds, and it may take longer in areas like Goldshire.
TRP3 creator Solanya confirmed this on April 29.
"We are looking at what we can do to limit the impact, but that will take time. If this continues, expect the next few weeks to be bad," the message said.
