Stop the WoWificaton (ui mods)

[Kes13a]

personally, I left WoW for many reasons, I have little desire to use something that reminds me of it. If people miss it THAT much that they have to change their UI to reflect it, I feel just pity for them....

if it doesnt affect gameplay, not really sure how it would be an advantage for them. if automates anything, ban the lot. if you dont want to play and just automate, then you dont need to play and your character spot can be used by someone who wants to actually play the game, not bot it. thats the only reason I see to be concerned.

Thank you for more eloquently stating my feelings on the issue. If people want the game to look, feel, and function like WoW, then go play WoW. I feel like something that makes boss fight mechanics definitely qualifies under "affects gameplay". Evidently there is even precedent for them taking action in the past with some kind of automarkers? That makes me feel a little better for sure.

I was really thrilled when I initially learned the game doesn't support or allow these addons. It was a breath of fresh air coming from WoW. And on PS5 I literally do not have the option. One of the key selling points of this game for me was a living room couch gaming experience in an MMO. And in every way thats been fantastic, but not when I hit the inevitable wall of "you need to download X to play with us" Oh well.

The term is WoW-Locusts. They are the people who constantly leave WoW cause it isnt good and play other MMOs but then want to change what they are playing into WoW. Then once it turns into WoW they quit because its too much like WoW. It is just them chasing those warm fuzzy feelings they had when they first started playing. So they take that new game feel from something like FF14 and then try and give it that coat of WoW paint hoping that drum up those fefes. It never works and always blows up in their face. Its nest to do everything in your power to stop them from having the locusts have a voice because they honestly just want to destroy anything they touch. This doesn't include the actual normal wow players who swapped to 14 to just play 14. This is just those toxic type i described.

Curious.. What game did the "locusts" ruin?

I'm curious as well, rofl. I mean, I don't mind them in the game at all really.

Same. Bring in more "locusts"

It's a comfort thing. You get used to something for years and years and years, it's more comfortable to keep using it regardless the situation. Could they use the default UI? Sure, but as long as it doesn't add anything *too* excessively cheaty (I keep getting glimpses of one that shows when you can move for slidecasting, and I have an issue with *that*) it's not really an issue.
