I don’t have any strong opinions one way or the other but it seems really odd for them to have this stance when WOW also has all of those things and modding is encouraged within the guidelines.
Presumably they have experience in handling stuff like this and it shouldn’t come as a surprise since a lot of their other games also have modding scenes.
The sanctioned mods in WoW are the ones using the APIs explicitly provided by the dev team to be used by mod developers. If you try to create mods that work outside those APIs you are running the risk of being banned just as you would in Diablo.
