If someone makes a deadly boss mods type addon for ARR would you use it?

People who will use everything they can to prevent failures will use it.

Thats... actually a lot of people.

Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden, while not impossible, were ridiculous fights that defied all common combat logic in FFXI. People for months tried to think of ways to kill AV without cheesing him ...

WE...NEED... MORE... AVs... IN... FINAL FANTASY!

Absolutely not Virtually impossible to beat, AV wasn't intended to be a beatable monster. How do you destroy a "Destroyer" of the world?

Anti-3rd party tool NMs... Go Tanaka!!

Troll? I hope so.

I don't particularly like being pressured by raid leaders to have certain addons, but at the same time I love being able to customize my UI and get more information. It especially helps those who are starting up content after the rush of people have already done it, which is something this game desperately needs. Right now there's a barrier to entry to any kind of decent content if you haven't already done it when it came out, which is exactly the worst way to try and get new players in.

Don't raid with them then. I mean most of raiding groups "forcing" their members to use addons state it clearly on their raiding rules (or if you ask upon joining that group). Again as said earlier on this thread, pick a raiding environment that suit you.

No one will point a gun at you, forcing you to use addons. Having lead raids I was expecting my members to come fully prepared and min/max everything meaning:

- No room for improvisation, you use the spec/job you are told to use. Yes it means having an army of clone sometimes. Don't care. (Off course if a member believe a certain spec can be better, he is free to suggest it to the raid/role leaders.)
- Have certain addons installed
- Teamspeak mandatory (listen at least)
- Wear the right gear depending on the encounter
- Have the best possible consumables and enough of them to cover the whole raid
- Come to raid fully healed/repaired
- Read up on strategy on forums

But rules were clear and members "signed" them. A raid is a group of people sharing a common goal, common interests and a common vision of things on how to achieve that goal. As long as everyone agree on the same rules, no matter how strict they are, the raiding environment can be healthy.
