When will SE release an addon SDK?

Wow, this isn't going to be good. Add-ons usually lead to a LOT of elitism. I can't help but worry a bit.

Meh I never played with add-ons in FFXI and I got by just fine. Elitests are going to be elitests regardless of some conditions, like whether or not we have add-ons

Arent addons created because the built in UI is lacking? You are one of those kinds of people that gets a mean and immediately adds salt, pepper, and ketchup before tasting it first to see how it is. I guess it would take time to get something ready and developed for an addon and that must be what you are hoping to get but i think it would be best for us to wait and see how things function with the native UI so we will actually know what it needs or does not need. Just my opinion though.

being single player isn't a specifically defining characteristic of any game. I think XI is more than proof of that.

[Ralos]

The MOST defining characteristics in the FF series revolve around the reoccurring lore I would think.

Or you could just not come in and comment on it. You know, choose to ignore it and all. People like to discuss things, and now we're discussing add-ons.

I could, but i wanted to say what i did. If i would choose to ignore something, it does not make it fade away magically. My Statement is pretty much on the same level of "importance" as the Topic itself, so whats your point?

If you want to discuss Addons go ahead, noone asked you to reply to me.

Cant we just have addons like skyrim?
To make stuff function better, but not actually altering the gameplay.
So let people make a "better grass" mod if they want to.

Touche, but your comment didn't bother me like this thread bothers you. I was merely suggesting that if you don't like the topic of the thread, you can ignore it.
Also, add-ons tend to be a normal aspect of MMO gaming, so it's importance probably weighs more than your disinterest in the topic itself. But that's just my opinion.

Be nice to have addons that give mob weakness, distance ect.

A DPS meter other then yourself is not productive. THis game (including how it is in alpha) won't work well with a dps meter trying to tally other players (eve nthe best ones is not 100% accurate). What you will end up with is idiots who try to spam damage to be top dog in DPS, and neglect their duties, whipping the party, and missing timing to link special finishers. You will end up making enemies fast.

Other addons for farming, perhaps, but those are built in and unlock with ability levels.

Self DPS, maybe, but even that will lead to players not doing tasks. It fien to test out build gear, but limited.
