If you don't like being target for violating TOS...how about don't violate the TOS?

technically 3rd party addons has always been against the ToS and every time it comes up yoshi says "don't do it" just because he also says if your not doing anything to hurt anyone your likely safe is by no means a guarantee.

If they're getting waves of complaints from people angry about streamers using addons, acting on it is probably what they'll do since in my opinion getting a ton of complaints is the very thing they're trying to avoid the most

Their plan is to add in the functionality of every addon they find unoffensive. They're giving the people that want the addons what they want, while disarming the complainers forcing them to enforce the ToS, and keeping the ToS intact which is important for their game.
Kind of addressing everyone's needs in the best way possible but it will take a little time.
Allowing addons in ToS is basically insanity, look at WoW... the raids there are designed around addons being used. It's a ridiculous model

They have had years to make these changes. I have zero faith in their ability to deliver.

to be fair they have made incremental changes to the hud. it isnt on the level of third party tools but it is better than it was on launch

thats is true but they always place there resources into other things. They always say they watch the ultimate fights when they release it. it didnt dawn on them to add more ui functions?

If you have zero faith in this team to do anything, why are you even playing this game then? At least hold out some good hope, not everything they delivered has been a total wreck.

It is perfectly possible to enjoy a game while not having faith in a dev team to deliver on things. There are things the Dev team is great at delivering on, though those mostly amount to visual things and music. Then there is a mountain of things that the Dev team has proven time and time again that they will never get something right even after the third try, even if the first iteration is fun. Take PvP. It has been revamped countless times and is for the first time in an amazing place, but even still while I enjoy it I can definitely agree there are countless glaring errors present that shouldn't have made it live. PotD, very well done and very workable right out of the gate. It was one of the very very few new content types that they got right on the first try.

Now let's look at Diadem... poor poor Diadem. The zone that has been remade so many times that it was just turned into a gathering zone and tossed to the side. Nor were the lessons properly learned there as they went into Eureka, making it to Pyros before they seemed to have gotten something good. Even now with Bozja, they've continue to improve on the idea but there are still issues that they have not acknowledged and this content type has been in the game since HW. Healers are another good example, they've been waiting years to be properly fixed and it still hasn't been done. LD has needed a fix since it launched in HW and DRKs only just got a fix for it.

So it is perfectly possible to enjoy a game, but still not trust that the dev team will make changes properly or even in a timely fashion. Nor does not trusting them to do that take away from all the great things they have done. It's just a fact, these supposed UI changes should be taken with a massive grain of salt and not expect to see them for quite some time.

They never had much of a budget for years, thanks to the influx of new blood, they currently have a bit more of a budget.
