Love the use of "dumbed down" to try to make out you're a superior player.

Do you play FFXI as SE release it without any addons at all? Answer 'yes' and I won't believe you.

That said, I think they should be optional, I see no reason for SE not to provide an option to turn them on or off, clearly turning them off makes no difference to anyone else.
