Welcome to a theme park MMO, enjoy your stay. You are meant to play the game the way devs intend you to play the game. If an encounter is made by DEVs with addons in mind, then it means that devs determined that you should use them.

You don't want to or you do not agree? The solution is pretty simple: deal with it.

That being said, with XIV being targeted at PS3 users as well, we can be fairly confident that encounters won't rely on the use of addons (beside the ones available natively on PS3, as SE said they may implement on console the most popular addons available on PC.)
