While I'm neither pro or contra using 3rd party stuff, not everyone cares about "accomplishments" or overcoming a challenge (with more effort than necessary). I can understand that mindset but personally wouldn't bother doing said content even with add-ons to begin with *shrugs*. In other MMOs it was pretty much "required", so call it being conditioned or whatever. But generally, yeah being too reliant is bad too like car drivers only reyling on their navi and end up in the river or in a too narrow alley with their car stuck between two walls etc...
