Should HUD Add-Ons Be Allowed By Square Enix?

While the in-game options are quite good

I get to disagree with that... While functional, FFXIV UI struggle when all you want is a clean design. The worst of it is the target health bar... It's too long and thin, I'd love to make it thicker without making it even longer (upscaling it).

Also, while I don't miss Recount from WoW, the challenge thing to test your dps potential is far from a good meter. What I'd love to have was a personal dps/healing meter only visible for you... this way I can measure my performance by numbers without having to resource to the "illegal" method.

I didn't say it was perfect, just quite good. *grins*

Anywho, what you are talking about is exactly the kind of changes I'd like to see. Addons like Move Anything was good for these kind of changes.

See everyone? This what I was talking about. Nothing game changing and certainly not anything to create this kind of have and have not situations.

If S.E. can do this in-house as new game features so much the better!

A personal dps meter would be great! Healing meters I'm less sold on. That's because your healing numbers depend more on the expertise of the other members than your own performance.

Whilst many other games out there may well have add-ons which have become essential I like the fact that FFXIV does not have any and hope that will continue.

Just because some other games have certain add-ons and people miss those from those games does not mean that they are needed (or indeed wanted) in this game.

Wrong train of thought. I'm talking about the convenience of those add-ons. I certainly don't miss WoW.

Again, I'm specifically talking about re-skins, HuD Changers, ets... Any add-on which threaten to be mandatory should never be allowed in FFXIV. n
