Slashing through stuff that will be straight up removed for now, then adjusting later.

I'm not gonna bother with the proper commit syntax, will rebase later.

Actually... never mind.

After spending a couple of hours on the alpha and seeing how bad the state of it actually is I've decided to put this endevour on hold.

Just to get oUF not throwing errors left and right I had to completely disable core functionality such as nameplates, tags, castbars and auras, as well as a couple more elements. Tags and nameplates could probably be salvaged, but for the others there just isn't a way to have them in any working order.

Blizzard wants us to provide them with feedback and free Q/A, and I'm not doing that just to help them fix the mess they got themselves into, they have employees on their payroll that can figure that out for themselves. In the current state oUF will not be worked on, atleast not by me. I will give it another go in a few months when they announce a date for the pre-patch, to see if it's in any way salvageable.

If by then it's still a broken mess we might just call it the end of this project. I'm going to leave this draft up for now and we'll see when the time comes.

Yeah, things aren't looking good. Atm we can't even match the default UI's functionality, let alone add our own improvements. Rn we can only wait and see.

Really, sad I have been using oUF since OG WoTLK, I really hope they fix this so I still use oUF after all these years.

Just wanted to drop this here as a big thank you!
This pic is special, Nzoth was my first cutting edge and the first boss I rolled a self-made UI based on oUF. ❤️

Because this PR and our comments here are making the rounds online rn, I'll repost my "rant" from reddit here to provide more context.
