Do addons ruin what wow is?

This one needs an explanation. How does this work exactly?

Please explain to me how an addon that changes how my unit frames look create toxicity.

The fact that you need a 3rd party system to change UI in the game creates the illusion that you are entitled to more then what you should get.

Me using elvui and weak auras doesnt affect u in any way except that i perform better because i can better track buffs/debuffs and cooldowns and so on. It does not make me toxic.

You perform your class better then you would without.

You just clarified this, so your at an advantage over someone who does not have these addons.

Without you knowing it, you’re punching down on those without these addons because they can’t track abilities as well as you.

I feel like this is a post because you’re at 160 RIO and don’t get into +10s

My rio is low because not having addons but me at a disadvantage.

Thank you for backing my cause.

Well I’d say in 2k current year we should be entitled to good ui. Which is only now being slowly tweaked

Tough luck, some people can’t interrupt with or without an addon too, addons aint a cure.

Your RIO being low is not due to addons. That’s due to your performance in dungeons. If you just got better at the game your RIO would be higher

Addons are not a cure but they enhance your gameplay. Many people have stated this and see nothing wrong. Your going to be at an advantage over those without. Always.

I agree that the base game’s UI isn’t that great, Blizzard wouldn’t even need to put that much work into it to make it look more modern without killing the theme.

Or maybe some people aren’t living in M+ and would rather do other things? Its an incredibly short sighted view to assume that the only reason for a low RIO is because a player doesn’t perform well.

yes they do ruin wow, but wow is being designed now with addons in mind.
I tank a bit, I dps a lot, I don’t heal anything because you just cannot heal with addons. Its too hard and the designers have made it that way. Ive been asking for one server where addons are banned, so i can pay to move there and be with people who actually are talented at playing the game and not claiming to be talented but in reality just have more addons than me.

Mythic, in my opinion, should just be heroic but with addons banned completely … then youd sort the good players from the lazy players and could actually admire a mythic player.

Youll never get a ban on addons cos blizz would have to administer it and people would just keep working out ways to cheat the system.

Nice idea, itll never happen though
Hey ho

Dhoobs is proving my point tbf, look at how toxic they are being branding me a bad player, over a rio score.

theyre doing what you didn’t want them to do … theyre derailing your original discussion because they know its right but wont admit it. Don’t fall down that hole, your discussion wont survive it.

And as I said, tough luck.
I dunno if someone uses or not uses an addon of certain type, so I never consider them using anything. If someone ain’t using a kick, I never assume it’s because they don’t use an addon that tells them to and vice versa.

Not timing a +5 kind of shows they don’t perform well. The entire group, not just them. But sure, you do you

Actually, you’re trying to shame addons. So you’re being pretty toxic about a way people want to play this game

Is it tough luck when in a sport someone who uses performance enchacing drugs beats a natural athlete?

I believe it results in disqualification. So why promote enchacing people’s nautral gameplay with these addons.

The issue with the group could have been anything, and something that he couldn’t have prevented due to it being in the control of other players. Without actually being in that run with him you still know nothing about his actual performance in the dungeon.

Just because you see the data of a +5 run which went over the timer it doesn’t mean you know the full story, all you have are assumptions based on that data.

Yeah it is, if the drug is legal and openly available with no cost
