The fact that we have to use addons, look up most mechanics on wowhead or icy-veins and watch videos from other sites just gives you an idea of how blizzard doesn’t communicate to its players. You basically need them.
If that’s true, I’m a huge mega cheater.
wait, maybe punctuation is cheating?

I don’t think you understand how the encounters work without addons 
If you need audio cues and flashing lights to make it so you don’t need to think about the mechanics that’s fine.
As per the original statement where we diverged from, you cannot assume that everyone plays with addons, you cannot assume that people who don’t play with addons are worse than players who do, and you cannot assume that because Blizzard is aware of their existence that all content is explicitly designed around the requirement of having addons.
No, I can assume that everyone I’ll ever play with will be using addons. You might not, but we’ll probably never play together.
I see so many badly typed posts and as often as not I just Mute them because I know if I say anything, somebody with jump on me about being a Grammar Ninja or whatever the latest thing is. I am a writer and correct word usage and typing is just ingrained in me from years of habit. I was also a Hansard typist at our local State parliament and precision in that job is essential because, y’know, your words can go onto record.
But anyhow, if I can’t figure out the post’s intent without resorting to an extra shot of caffeine, I tend to just move on.

That’s really neat! 
It could get stressful, and the hours could be long, depending on how long the session went for. I’d often get home in a taxi at midnight or later if they were being particularly verbose. Good pay, though.

blizzard is too lazy to add any good qol addons into the game themselves so I’ll stick with “cheating” tyvm.
So people shouldn’t watch the boss either, because that would be cheating too.
A joke would be your grasp on the English language, not to mention your trolling ability.
Also, deaf players would like a word with you.

Who you play with has absolutely nothing to do with your original statement.
The people you play with aren’t “everyone who plays the game” which was your initial claim.
Ohai, Doggy.
Everyone who plays after a certain point is using addons. You just haven’t gotten to that point if that statement surprises you. Blizzard doesn’t have to update the ui because we’ll do the work for free. There’s probably no reason that you can’t do lfr without addons. I don’t think any mechanics exist there.
I did upto 6/12 M Nyalotha, but usually I just do AotC
I don’t disagree that it’s useful in mythic, or that guilds have a strong preference for it in mythic. But it is not required for heroic, and it’s not an assumption to make that all people at that level use them.
Blizz doesn’t do anything to the UI because it’s a deliberate design choice, the game isn’t designed around being the 5%, it’s deliberately designed to push UI elements to the side and leave gameplay elements widely visible in the centre.
Some players prefer bringing information closer to view at the expense of cluttering their field of view. That is a choice that players make for themselves.
As to the raid warnings, Blizzard already does those themselves, they go through that expense despite the players already having access to them through addons.
You would have gotten further in a guild that was using addons. That’s why they all require them. There’s nothing wrong with being a traditionalist, but corruption negated most of the mechanics in Nyalotha. You can prefer whatever you like. Some people like to knead dough by hand, but a machine will do it better.
My guild was using addons
Also, no, we would have gotten much further had we actively wanted to progress. We dropped doing mythic progress long before massive corruption scaling became the norm.
We stopped because most people either picked up busier schedules or weren’t fussed about continuing to push.
Addons are in no way the limiting factor for my guild. All your statement is is a fabrication.
Then what’s the argument? You can’t rail against them when you took advantage of them. You said earlier that your guild is mostly AOTC and yet they use addons. Hardly a surprise…most of those guilds do.
No, I said 'you can’t say everyone uses addons", you said “at your your level maybe people don’t. It’s probably not important for LFR”.
I told you what “my level” is.
Sure, a lot of people in my guild use addons, but again. That is not everyone which is your claim.
And no, having 100% use addons would not increase progression, as the players who are at the bottom of our guild in terms of performance all use addons, those who do are all consistently performing at the top of our guilds performance.
Everyone doing content passed a certain point is using addons. Argue that all you like.
