i saw a video about blizzard thinking to remove addons form the game, do you realize that this game is build upon addons and customizability?
If i wanted a game without addons i would play FFXI new world crap or throne and liberty pay 2 win junk games.
This is WoW addons are in much use and much needed, not if you want to remove specific weak auras that track when ur opponent farts then i am down for this, but anything else? Just DONT touch it.
If you want to get rid of addons build WoW 2 in UE5 finally and have those functionalities needed implemented in the game itself so we dont have the NEED to use addons.
Cant you just let us be? cant you just leave us alone? You nerf this buff that change this change that, now remove the addons, for the love of God let us play and enjoy the game, if i didnt like addons i wouldnt play this game i would play a more simple game for simple people.!

Well that’s the point, there are great addons to improve quality of life and there are addons that improve your efficiency in a fight (pvp or pve) by way too much compared to somebody not using it.
The problem is, how do you say yes and no? WA is just the go to addon to help you improve efficiency and make a boss fight easier, or to know when your enemy is using a specific CD that you need to counter. It’s also great to help you in your own rotation.
How can you draw a line between which auras should be banned and which can stay? It’s not realistic.
The only realistic way to do it, is to ban everything but yes you would loose all the improvements made by players in term of UI, quest tracking, etc… with it.
I understand it to mean that they are pruning add-on APIs, not necessarily banning everything. Pruning would simply restrict some of the ways in which addons are ‘allowed’ to interact with the game.
I also thought I read that they wanted to use the default blizzard ui more by adding indicators
although the company’s policy does not allow addons/mods in FF14, you can just install them, there is a risk that they will give you a penalty for installing them. but mainly the addons/mods that are not wanted in FF14 are those made by modders and are for over 18 (like naked/hentail, etc.) I’ve been playing for 3 years now FF14 with addons/mods and I have no problem.
100% True addons exist since WoW itself and get rid of addons will be like get rid of wow,
