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

i have a feeling that SE won't be allowing player created mods in categories like DBM and will be approving aesthetic mods for the UI instead. then again, with the footage we've seen so far of the game, combat has changed drastically and it seems that SE is beginning to go in a different direction to please a larger audience (not FFXI players).

i'm pretty scared to see what they do, the player reaction, whether or not and who they end up listening to and catering towards but at the end of the day, i vote against things like DBM while still desiring a harder game because i'm pro, selfish and i don't want others to have what i do.

all in all, if the SE dev team really is anything special they should be able to create content that rivals whatever you guys were saying about WOW without approving mods like DBM. and with that being said, i'm really excited to see what they do with dungeons, raids, instances and NMs.

SE wont be approving / disproving each addons by hand - unless they want to be spending a huge amount of money on maintaining accepted mods or creating a great barrier to entry for mod authors.

The best thing to do is hope SE will never design content based off of addons - and if they like an addon so much add it into the game themselves, where they can then base the content off of what is officially in game.

And the FFXI players are not explicitly against addons - a LARGE percentage of FFXI PC players used winodwer and many of its extra features.
