TL;DR of live letter

That's like saying "Isn't a calculator basically doing the math for you?" Uh no. You still need to punch in the numbers.

Just because it's telling you what's coming up doesn't mean you actually have to care or do anything. "I know the tank buster is coming in 10 seconds but let me just not pop any big defensive cooldowns" "I know the vulnerable phase is coming up but let me just not pop foe's requiem"

"Isn't having giant orange circles for AOE on the ground basically playing the game for you?" not if you don't move out of the circles...

That's just it though. The game itself already has cast bars (or the boss has special animations) for skills. We already have floor aoe indicators, with the exception of a few attacks that don't show them. A countdown to mechanics is just lolsome to me.

Then don't download the addon. Your game is still "hard". The people who want more precise control over a fight and precision can download the addon. Ez.

You say this like we're actually getting addon support anytime soon. With how Sony handles things, I don't think we'll ever see it. It's just not feasible to implement it for only part of the playerbase so if console players don't get it, nobody will.

I bet you're that kind of person that thinks they can remove the echo without the party questioning you doing so. do you really want "no ps4" to be popping up in the pf?

Did you misquote me? I'm not the one asking to "keep the game hard because addons play for you".

The add on you suggested just sounds ridiculous and not the sort of thing I would be behind. that you think it would be treated as an option if implemented is laughable. It would be shoved down the throat of every pf in current content, and as hard to deal playing without it as a needle in a haystack.

Ashkendor is right, playing the game like that wouldn't be very rewarding.

ACT triggers are already a thing, do you see "PC players only, must have codeword for triggers"? Do you see "Must have Discord/Mumble/TeamSpeak for callouts" very often? I doubt it.
