I can’t be the only one.
I prefer to play the game, as is. I don’t use addons. I don’t use discord. I am open to using the implemented voice chat provided through the game itself, wherever necessary.

It seems like, while I believe I’m in the minority, there are a somewhat significant pool of us, that prefer this playstyle. Otherwise, why have in-game voice, and nullify addons progressively as the game develops. It does seem as though blizzard at least in part, wants to move away from the complications of add-ons, etc, and provide a whole game for enjoyment.

Largely I feel they’ve delivered on this aim, wittingly or not. Even the classic game, doesn’t require add-ons so much. I feel, a dedicated group could clear retail without too much trouble; without using addons, and utilizing in game voice. Side note: I’m interested in building a community that approaches things this way.

There’s also, the upcoming expansion for retail. While I’m mainly enjoying SoD and holding off on Warthin for a bit, until I’m sure I want it. There are some things I am hoping it brings about, which I don’t expect, but hope to a degree continues as the trend seems to be suggesting it might; options!

I want to be able to level mainly through gathering, and working on professions, doing BGs, and dungeoning. Questing, can be okay, sometimes, for me. But, the trend of “finish the story first.” Is something I hope isn’t continued. I expect it will be as Dragonflight was. You need to do it once, then you can skip it. I guess, that’s okay. I just, want avenues, for all playstyles. Especially my own; such as the aforementioned.

Anywhatz. This was my rant.

I dunno if picking herbs will ever be a core pillar of gameplay, but nothings stopping you from leveling that way I guess OP.

Many of us enjoy doing group content and playing with friends. You’re welcome to keep playing solo and questing.

No one has any idea who is or is not in the minority. There are groups in the forum that make up a fraction of 1% of the players who are very vocal and truly believe they speak for “the community” but “the community” turns out to be nothing more than themselves.

Play the way you want to play. As long as you follow Blizzard’s rules you will be fine.

Installed classic.

Calls TWW - warthin.

yea… if you don’t like addons don’t use them.

The rest of us love customization and don’t care what you think.

I vote for addons. I like the customization of addons. There is FF14 if you don’t like addons.

Even then i think in Ffxiv people use them but you gotta not talk about them.

It’s weird.

I can understand not using disc, but there’s no way anyone would be very effective in PvP without some addons.

That’s cool, it is your subscription and your time, play how you want.

Why don’t you want others to use addons though?

the problem with the in-game blizzard voice chat is they record you and you gotta be on ur best behavior while using it, discord feels more casual and you can just chill with ur friends and not worry about being recorded

I do not want to join such a community however I want to congratulate you for attempting to find other like minded people instead of taking choice away from other players like so many of these types of posts tend to be.

I know I have a hard time telling if things in text (and even in person if I’m honest) are sarcastic but I’m being serious here. Great job.

Moo!
