Casual and hardcore use addon but that not the point i still don't understand why people can't be a tank or a healer without a pop or sound saying someone else have hate i could understand in wow where there lot's of people around while fighting and it get crazy but in FFXIV i think it would never be needed only if your lazy and can't play a mmo without addon.

I know myself wont be using any addon maybe the one i like from ffxi windower display how much EXP i'm getting. The only reason i hate addons is in wow to do anything like raids they make you download addon A,B,C / D to even do there events i hope that never happen in ffxiv if it does then w/e i play my way and learn how to play the game without using addon i did it in wow and in ffxi i can do it in ffxiv.

Addons are just a crutch for those lacking skill and intuition.

In Call of Duty, if you use an aimbot it's called hacking because it automates the entire skillset the gameplay is based on.

In FFXIV, if players use addons which automate the skill-set of the gameplay, then that too should be deemed "hacking".

There is a difference between a helpful UI and something that plays the game for you, and sometimes I think addons cross that line.

The dev team should be the only people that get to define the skillset of the game. Addons/hacks which automate that skillset should not be allowed.

Customising the layout should be the only thing that is allowed.

I agree with you 100% i can care less about addon as long as other players don't make me download something just to do a endgame event i'm fine with the idea having addon. I for one be switching over too a addon Ui that does not look like that in that picture Something like FFXI with a big chat window like i have my ffxiv right now would be fine play 6year i dislike having small chat .

Let's hope SE would ban and not allow addon that does stuff for you opening addon people could easy make addon to bot Mobs and other stuff and may take sometime to even ban that type of addon not if they have a system set up for that type of stuff.
