Addons, a cheat? Or are they a boon and if so to whom

My issue is astigmatism mixed with bad eyesight in general. Colors can blend in sometimes and some things I can only see if they are moving. Wow is real bad about color mixings.

To add: don’t get me started on sudden bright lights… STREAKS… STREAKS EVERYWHERE.

I’ve tried diff monitors diff settings, diff glasses, nothing has helped sadly.

I have dbm with Arnold voice pack installed to yell at me STOP IT for interupts so that works.

All good I thought you were being snarky lol but you clarified it.

True and reading over some of your other posts and stuff along with others helping you, you’re gaining a better understanding of addons and how they work etc. Which that’s a good thing!

The people who get left out are the people refusing to work with the system, and are instead choosing to work against it though. It’s their own choice to hinder themselves.

why? i never brought this up before and I am super curious about the way others play. sure i could read posts and whatever but how many times have you beat that dead horse? if not you, the coments… makes no sense to post this to me in my world but if you need to make yourself feel like a champ… i guess you did

Because this discuss has been done again and again and again and again and again and again and the end result is the same.

guess as usual there is nothing i can say so… to those who were nice or at least civil, tyvm… the other few… shame on you

I dunno if you missed it but I did offer to sit with you and help you with your UI. We can talk shop. Your UI is home and should be renovated as you see fit (so long as it falls within TOS).

I think the big thing is a lot of these posts have popped up recently, and I think yours was along the same topic but, ironically, not in the same… reasoning.

There was a big streamer that said addons should be banned and all his followers basically parroted that on the servers and there’s a new post on it almost everyday.

I think your topic, with what you have commented, was just voicing your concerns mixed with trying to gain a better understanding.

Its choice if you don’t use them you know you’re at a disadvantage. I’m not sure why there even needs to be a discussion. Even with the addons you still need to camp rares. The most it does is tell you the locations were they spawn and track what you’ve killed for the day. By now you should have that memorized even without addons.

They save a huge amount by letting people create addons. They essentially get people to put in thousands of hours of time programming for no cost at all.

I don’t raid, so I cannot speak on DBM nor Weak Auras. However, I do think DBM should’ve been a part of the game, by now, but I digress.

I’m 100% against the guild invite addon and sympathize with those who hate that PL Helper addon. Both addons have one thing in common, they auto whisper. This shouldn’t exist.

I shouldn’t have to download Badboy to counter addons that break ToS via spamming, but here we are.

I hate that thing. It’s so annoying!

I don’t know why I’d need to know enemy CDs? Part of a game being fun is not knowing what the bosses will do next(assuming they have a random chance of attacks and not set order). And as far as DRs go…that works in the background for me. A true skill-based game would not show you that information. I would have to actually work with what info I got and guesstimate. And yeah, with the dependency on addons in wow to beat anything, wow gamers at high levels aren’t very good. It’s a fact. Depending on tool assisted programs makes you worse, not better.

I have played eso and that’s the thing too with eso you KNOW when something is about to smack you in the face so you can block it.

TAIL! AVOID THE TAIL! FIRE! WING! DRAGON BAD!

To add can they just not make the thing we are supposed to avoid the same color as the floor?!

Haven’t seen an addon thread in a while. A week at least. Rather have an addon instead of constantly staring at mobs cast bar to interrupt it lol. The fun is watching the fight while fighting, not staring at its cast bar. Anyways :popcorn:

Noone disputes that chess is a true skill based game, and you have perfect information there.

Yeah, you don’t have an addon in Chess that shows you the limited movesets your opponents can use and what they can no longer do. They have to remember it all in their head.

Oh computer chess there’s programs for learning that tell you how to move and what to do.

Unless you play on an electronic device that provides “hints”. My phone version of chess does that. Spider Solitaire had a similar function, if played on the computer.

You have perfect information. You can see exactly where all the pieces are, and the rules tell you exactly where they can go.
