Addons seriously

I’m calling troll at this point.

Nobody has this much irrational expectation without knowing that is what they are doing.

In your world, Blizzard would not allow any addons at all.

In the real world they allow players to CHOOSE if they want to use addons to make some things more to their liking and to help in some areas. Since different people have different needs, likes and preferences, there are a variety of addons to choose from and Blizzard allows people to create addons of various types.

Blizzard is not going to manage, control the downloading , or take responsibility for addons beyond making sure that they meet certain requirements.

Actually, I already feel dumber for allowing your trolling to get me to write all this, when in my head, I already know you are trolling.

I guess you scored a few points on me there.
Congratz.

Saying that Blizzard should have a addon creation plus support teams to support all of this…

Is like saying they should also have a media team that covers every aspect of the game, were we no longer need outside resources like Wowhead.

The game is developed you are asking for Blizzard to CUSTOMIZE. You are not paying for that.

In fact, Blizzard has policy to prevent addon makers from selling their addons.

Don’t like the advertising then customize things yourself.

I’m not trolling at all, its clear to me every one has simply become complacent with the current addon environment. It seems that any change is unimaginable or unacceptable to many people on this forum.

WoW is a competitive game, if people have developed addons that give you competitive advantages these addons should be available from blizzard.

Blizzard is allowing other players to develop the game, and these developments should all be available to download by every player on blizzards own website or launcher.

LOL, a “premium”. WoW hasn’t upped subscription cost since 04 when the game launched…but inflation has added about 36 cents to get the same buying power. you’re getting the game cheaper than ever (about 11 dollars in 2004 money).

So are you saying that you haven’t ever used one addon in all the time you have played WoW? With all of your posts you make it sound as if you refuse to download them from anyone but Blizzard. So with over 9k achievement points and all, you haven’t ever used one addon even though you yourself keep saying the game is basically unplayable without them?

Also, I personally don’t know of any game where the maker of the game supplies the addons, not one.

No im just saying that it doesn’t make any sense why developments to blizzard’s own game are not available to download from blizzard’s own website or launcher.

I have to agree it would be a cool option.

You just defined the API. All the Blizzard ingame settings are available to you, through Blizzard. Customize to your heart’s desire. Or, get someone else’s work.

There we go, or get someone else’s work. Blizzard is the one getting paid it should all be their work.

What? You’re doing it wrong. Lol.

There we have it folks.

We have converted to “addons are cheating”.

Blizzard added support for customizations. Monitor those customizations. Removed functionality they do not like.

It’s still cheating though.

Yeah, nope.

Blizzard is getting paid for the game, the addons are free options provided by others.

All an addon really is, is just customized settings. You can make your own if you want to. That’s the beauty of it.

Incorrect.

They don’t get paid to change your font for you. They get paid to allow you to pick what ever font you like.

It’s on you to change it.

Yes and these free options should all be available to download from blizzard’s own website or launcher.

Addons is something to me that I hardly had issues with and to find and download.
Plus Blizzard does allow them with the Interface folder.

So I guess thats why I never thought this was a concern to others.

It’s just someone getting upset they can’t make Blizzard do everything for them.

Have you ever considered that Blizzard can’t make the same quality of addons that many authors can, and that said authors don’t want to work for Blizzard?

That’s on blizzard to decide and they decided to make the API available for other people to make addons with. This has been the case since the original alpha.
