The burning crusade is a pretty neat looking expansion for World of Warcraft. With the expected changes however there are some massive changes being made to the addon system for the game. Basically, people are going to lose the ability to change targets with an addon or rearrange target windows or use any logic in spell casting (eg: Auto scale spells, have it pick from several spells based on target type (Eg: If i click this button and a hostile is targeted cast x, if a friendly is targeted cast y.) It also is going to be a massive determent to the accessibility of the game in general for the handicapped. I generally wouldn’t have a problem with a game coming out that isn’t equally accessible to everyone, but WOW has been out for 2 years almost… these people have played and paid monthly for the game for that entire period of time… and all of a sudden blizzard is yanking the carpet out from under them. It just feels way wrong in my book. Anywho here’s a link to the digg story I just made, it has links to both of the blizzard offical threads and a thread from a c5/6 quadriplegic who feels like they’re getting the shaft… and I agree.
