If a game really needs DBM that means that that game is not well designed, period, and it should be asked for it to be improved instead of getting crappy add-ons. And if the game doesn't need it, then why do you want to make it trivial?

Also, you have to keep in mind that console users can't use them. And you should know already that getting such add-ons would only create segregation between both platforms. That's the reality.

So I'll say this again: beyond more UI customization (that should be implemented by SE anyway), add-ons are NOT necessary here. You DON'T need dps meters, you DON'T need DBM, and you DON'T need many other things (heal bot, etc.). Now, I know that they're just tools and that some of them are useful when properly used, but from my experience they give way more headaches than any positives that they could bring.

So, I'm pretty happy with not having add-ons here.
The problem is that it doesn't matter over time XD - SE is also again putting everyone in a weird position. Yoshida saying something akin to Don't ask Don't tell, but SE has also said not to read memory as it offers an unfair advantage.

As the tool gets better and more popular and SE does nothing SE will see players challenge harder content sooner and more efficiently, then they will affect the balance for non-tool using users (or users not in a group with one using it). I suppose for those who want a notched up fight that is good, but I don't think it is good for SE to cater designs to the users doing something not sanctioned. They should either get strict or properly gear everyone else (imo).

More likely than not though SE will just hide and hope no one asks a straight answer, since that is the easier choice lol. (Watch as Camate comes and proves my statement wrong.. XD)
