If someone makes a deadly boss mods type addon for ARR would you use it?

On topic: yes.

In all honesty, I would prefer it if the UI changes being made were to be cosmetic only. Would I use it? I don't know. I kind of like that I don't have to right now, so if something like this became "must have" then it would probably be a sad day for me. If it took the enjoyment out of the game then I would probably not use it. Video games are there to be viewed in graphical form, not text form. At least, that's how I see it. Some text is good, but too much can ruin the immersion.

Why cant people just read the chat log or watch the physical animation, having something basically scream (alarm) at you and slap you in the face (Large arrows) seems a bit overkill.

The issue with watching for animations can be hardware, software or interweb lag at times, but this part i agree with you about, i prefer in game an animated sign's of what's coming.

But read the log? really? How is that fun, its not a text based game i prefer to see and enjoy watching the fight. and a big warning on the screen isn't hugely different from looking at a log waiting for XX is doing YYY!! imo.

I'd prefer it the same to a point. but i think mmo's need a more complex UI then we have atm here now.
I don't see any harm in some mods that improve the UI, a good key biding system, even if its we submit them to SE, but it really can go to far when its you need this list of 30 mods installed to play with people.

Personally I love a clean, minimal clutter arty interface (yeah confusing but i know what i mean) i would kill to see a lot more information then we have now though, titen bar i think it was or something on WoW did that to me, i reskinned it and well yeah.. .

i don't believe in add ons, synergy or any other crap involved with add ons. i hate the idea that people can have something like this. why even play if you need something like this. if it's important it should be added to the game for all and done. the chat log says it, in ffxi we had the ability to color change things in log setting to make them stand out in the log ..that should be enough. lol if i miss a stun and i hear a wise crack like you should get this add on i would probably rage on him.

Having things built in is always better unless they are fluff content add ons or just visual overhauls.
On-screen icons that warm you something is happening not even what ( that should be down to the player to remember) would be a lot nicer for me personally then looking at a log. but it wouldn't be much different and actually would tell me less then the log.

I wouldnt have taken it as such if you didnt say "Actually". Like I am wrong. Addons sanctioned by the mmos that I've at least heard of are prohibited from completing botting like actions.

Sorry, didn't intend it that way. I was just throwing out a random fun fact. Obviously they're not the same. Add ons don't automate things so much as they reorganize info and/or present it in a different fashion. Bots on the other hand physically take the player completely out of the loop.

I hope Yoshi makes the bosses give us visual signals when they use something thats worth dodging.

So many ignorant posts in here I can't keep up anymore.

It looks the direction for singals at least, maybe not all visual.. Nael Van Darnus had loads of chat signals.
