I couldn’t find any topic where this is being discussed. First of all, I am all in favour of the #nochanges - the experience of Classic must be preserved or the project will fail.
Having said that, everyone will likely use addons such as outfitter or whatever it was called. I personally would prefer there to be an in game one which would mean we don’t have to install 3rd party software which requires to be updated every patch. It won’t impact gameplay or the experience and it’s already part of the wow engine anyway.
Same applies for the UI addons - I was always quite happy with the wow raidframes, but obviously this wasn’t in Vanilla. But rather than getting something like , Elvui which everyone will use, why not just leave the built in active?
Thoughts? Or should I be banished from this forum for suggesting such horrible things?
You’re approaching this from a current game point of view where patches occur that require mods to be updated (which is easy in any case, there’s a few clients that automate this process down to a couple of mouse clicks).
Who says Classic will get any patches at all, let alone ones that will break mods?
I would be more in favour of keeping Classic as Vanilla was, with no changes, and let players put in (within constraints) the mods they personally choose to run for convenience or other reasons.
Not to mention, the in-game Equipment Manager has always been clunkier and less useful than Outfitter. Just like the voice chat feature.
Sometimes, it seems like Blizzard looks at something popular and says “We should do that!” But once they implement a bare-bones solution, it is subsequently forgotten and never improved upon.
I’d rather Blizzard focus on making Classic as good as possible, and let the extraneous stuff be addressed by add-on developers.
