Add on support??

[Divinion]

was add on support even added in 2.1 like it was hyped to be back when the game released?

If so where are all the add ons.

(yes i know about FFXIV App, but proper addons that you install into the game)

They never said anything about Addons being a part of 2.1. However, they have said that they will eventually open it up for players to be able to make Addons, but at the bare minimum of 6 months down the road. That still doesn't mean it will be in 2.2 though. I personally believe that the game is fine right now without addons to make life too simple for the time being. I'd really hate to see addons for Monks to be able to press 1 button to do all of their combos perfectly, even through a miss. Or a Healbot (though in WoW, I'll admit to using the hell out of Healbot, but it made me feel like a very unskilled healer in the end).

I dislike addons because they make the game robotic. I'd hate to see things like Deadly Boss Mods or Healbot here.

And the drama that comes with them. I'm not looking forward to the requirement of certain addons if you are looking to raid.

A big problem with addons is that some players are so dependent on them that they are screwed if there's a bug or the creator no longer supports it. Suddenly the group that touted themselves as "pro" can barely survive 5 minutes.

Is it too much to expect people to pay attention and play the game as-is?

Oh god no, i don't want addons that do crap for you like that, I like doing my combos by my self, im just more interested in ones like dps meter and improved maps for gathering related purposes and the like and a sort of data base for loot drops and boss's in dungeons.
