Agreed we should ban all addons to make everybody in the game equal.
But why stop there? A way higher advantage than addons is having a good ping. Not everybody lives in a place where they can consistently get low ping so lets set everybody’s ping to 500ms. That seem like a fair spot.
Also gaming mouses are just straight up cheating by allowing you to have more key binds and should be banned. In fact we should lock the keybindings for every one to have an even playing field.
The thing is, certain addons grant you more information than you should have available to you and this gives you a critically unfair advantage over those who do not use them.
Any addons should be limited to making the interface look pretty without affecting what it can do or provide.
In which way it promotes toxicity? Because the way I see it, most addons are helpful.
I do wonder why Blizzard do not make changes of some very good addons and make them as base in their game.
I want everyone to click since i suck at keybinds 
All this information is available in wow-client, add-ons just make it more visible.
Fair point I didn’t consider clickers. So from now on everybody has to click their abilities!!! But also everybody has to use one of those laptop touchpad because not everybody plays on a desktop pc.
No, addons are merely tools. How people use those tools is another case. I see people demanding rediculous Rio scores for a AD+6. This is toxic and very reminiscent of the Gearscore addon back in Wrath.
Only something like timers are a little concern for me. Like I have a quaking timer, or dbm-timers so I know when a boss will start doing what.
Most bosses have very precise indicators for abilities too. Yells, actions, animations and boss room is never random either. But I for example feel that me knowing thing X allows me to maximise my performance potential. I.e. as tank. My role is to take beating and entertain angry mobs, right ? However, when I know I have time between angrier mob swing and less angry mob sing, I can spend my cds on offensive instead. or how casters in M+ can time their abilities between that silencing aoe.
Also Blizzard does not like automation, so. They’d break any add-on they see unworthy.
But I want to press keys!
Press them with your mouse! 
That requires too much effort. 
I agree. 
Of course now that I am an old man I need the young whippersnappers to be given selective age-based lag to handicap their fast young reflexes and uber twitch skills to make sure I can play at the same speed as them. Sounds good. no?
i would like to see some addons nerfed to the ground, addons wa, dbm + some pvp addons, but not without new interface in WOW, like realy debuffs and mechanics in the top right corner, cmon. boss encounter can and some of them should be hard, but when UI or camera is your biggest enemy, than something went wrong … Please Blizz tell me " We are already working on this" 
I can’t click cause my mouse is broken. I have to type out /cast for every ability
Hmmm… That’s true…
I got it! We just introduce a ready check into the game. You can click on it or type /accept and than the game just automatically fights for you! All classes and specs will of course do the same dps no matter the gear or level. We will have true equality!
I’m ready for the MDI and world first race, let me just find which movie to watch while my toon does all the work 
Some addons do, some addons don’t.
UI addons like ElvUI doesn’t, for the most part.
WA’s kinda do, but it’s rather problem with WoW’s design making it harder without it (like playing Enhancement without WA’s is torture).
DBM / RIO deffo do ruin what WoW is. Anything 3rd party that impacts the game in such a big way is ruining it.
Let’s be honest here, purely cosmeting addons that do not impact your / others gameplay are no problem, meanwhile that those that do are.
It’s idiotic for me that content is designed around the likes of DBM, when it’s not part of a game. It’s 3rd party addon. Same with RiO, sure it allows people to view other players performance but it also creates a split in the community and kidna creates the circle*erk of those that play that addon vs those that dont?
Some addons functionality should be implemended into the base game, and addons should be limited solely to the cosmetic ones.
Controversial, I know but keybinds would be just another great thing that got removed.
GCD is here now, button mashing like a maniac is no longer needed.
on FF both are actually incorrect.
Addons are not banned in FFXIV entirely, if u watch some streamers u’ll see them use LOADS. for Increased Nudity/Transmogs which dont exist in the game/ Track Server Ticks and DPS/HPS Meters.
FFXIV will ban u for the Discussion of Addons used in game, So, its not Banned to Use a DPS Meter, but is banned to mention the DPS Meter ingame.
They are not anti-Addons they are Anti-Toxicity and beleive The rights to discuss personal DPS and more within groups Leads to toxicity. but if u watch competitive streamers they’re ALL running Addons.
also FFLogs are entirely used also which is a DPS Tracker… and Tracks your Score through a DPS Meter.
so no, its Not banned in FFXIV :P… and tbh overall, i wouldnt say its the strongest approach realistically. Addons are pretty welded into the game nowadays and i dont think the current raids and more would be manageable as they’ve been built around the assumption players are using them.
Keybinds Dont exist because of button mashing (btw WoW still has one of the fastest APMs when compared to games alike itself GCD didnt slow it down enough, espically with how much they’ve removed from it)
they exist Because it is EASIER to use keybinds on the move then ur mouse as ALot of people use their Mouse to control their Camera, which would mean they’d lose the ability to use their Cameras While using abilities which would effectively be Lethal.
Keybinds Exist to Cater to players who play in that way, the same as CLicking exists to cater to players who play that way also, outright removing a Option from the playerbase is a Crazy idea.
we should be Pushing for MORE options not less.
theres no reason Keybinds need to go… litterally none, if u wanna click… go ahead and click… but allow the rest of us the option so we can Adapt to the game also.
