Once upon a time in Vanilla, Addons could literally play for you.
Sadly, the grand vilan Blizzard killed these addons and forbid them in Classic.
5 year old kid can play Classic…
I’ll remove the add ons I use regularly when Blizzard improves their god awful default ui. The other add ons I use are silly ones that provide no benefit except to give me with amusement like my peon add on declaring “work complete” when I finish a quest or any other mundane task.
Kinda miss my annoying spider which had a massive spiuder walk around my screen when i was afk. used to scare the bejesus out of my wife when she would pass my pc when I was away.

For someone who was trying to make a point about being toxic, you might want to read some of your posts again.

He actually notify us about how he being toxic is a thing.
I have been saying that for 11 years.
There should be no option for add ons, or even macro’s.
Both make for unfair advantages, leads to mandatory installation and negates the game as is.
Do you even play a healer?
Yes a have a load of healers and have always played them since i started playing.
I never used any add ons, except for recount and did many 1000s of dungeons. Probably 10s of thousands.
Thats not an argument btw. It is an ad hominem; not relevant.
If you wish to negate what i said, do so with true reasoning
So you’re healing without mouseover macros? I don’t believe it.
Well its not like i can prove it. Nor can u disprove it.
And again, its not even relevant. I stated why add-ons and macros are no good. They never were any good. I said why. If you disagree, disprove the point i made.
So the logic here being because I dislike addons I’m toxic?
Mouseover macros are a necessary to play a healer.
I mained a mw monk in Legion. I did +15 as healer on him few times. Never did I need these mouse over macros.

No it isnt.
Yes, it really is.
The fact that YOU need it, does not mean EVERYONE needs it.
And it is not an argument in favor of add ons or macro’s, since there are plenty of ppl that can heal wo them.
And most people will disagree with you it looks like.
If you do not like them do not have them but you will do “worse” then the people that do have them.
Instead of claiming addons is mandatory you could play without most people would not know unless you tell them as people will just assume you have something.
I do however wonder what the argument for taking away the freedom of customization and ability to do things easier is as all it is doing is showing you information that you can get a hold off in the game anyway in a different form.
You are right in that you do not need it to heal but it sure is nice to have and it does make you a tiny bit faster to actually get that heal off.
il quote you here:
So why do you insist on taking it away from people?
As a side note beacuse of blizzard willingness to do these kinds of things we have all the awsome custom maps in WC3. The whole genera of Moba comes out of giving players the ability to do things.
It needs to be taken away so people can get over this illusion that addons are needed.
I for one would rather not go back to simplified raids in which bosses are basically all just tank and spank, so I hope addons will stay.
But it is fun to have the ability to have your own custom way of looking at the information on the screen.
But why do you think that people think you need addons to play the game?
