The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

Well at least two people here understand the functionality of addons. I'm beginning to think that the people that don't want addons are the bads that just don't fully understand game mechanics therefore under perform, but wan't to be carried.

Well there's no need for such claims. It seems to me that the people against add-ons are those who want players to succeed on the merit of their own skill. These people probably don't have much actual experience with add-ons, and so they don't realize that add-ons only amplify skill. It's true; add-ons don't play the game for you. They merely improve the interface so that you can play the game more effectively.

They're either the bads like you mentioned, or they're people who have no clue what the addons actually do, and instead listen to people like Zenaku who pretend they know what they do when they really don't. Nobody with actual knowledge of what gearscore or ilvl (which is not an addon) does will object to it. It only stops under-geared people from being carried in a raid that they cannot make a difference in.

I just find it hilarious that at least one known private server players is complaining about add-ons that wouldn't even be in use on a private server. Also the fact he keeps saying the same bugs in private servers are on premium WoW servers. The only bugs I have seen in my 7 years of playing are random mobs being glitched where you can't attack them, which is rare, lag causing your target's corpse to show up in a different location that it actually is on the server, thus you can't loot it if it's a small mob (again, very rarely happens, and never on bosses), flying in ghostlands via a glitch that was hotpatched in under 12 hours when Cata first launched, and I was unable to get my Lock mount from the quest chain during a certain week in BC. Blizz knew about the bug and fixed it in 2 days, and it took all of 15 minutes for a GM to respond to me and give me my Dreadsteed.

WoW is not any buggier than any other MMO. Every MMO is going to have bugs. Private server players, nor people who haven't raided endgame in WoW should not be contributing to the WoW add-on topic, because they really have no clue what they're talking about.

addon, and UI discussion aside. I really hope they do not implement the need to attain a certain gear score before you can enter/participate in a dungeon or raid. That sounds really stupid and unnecessary

Nobody has said this will be the case...

I think.

I know. Im just going onto the offensive and stating opposition. Im sure it works for WoW and other games, but I really would not care for this feature. Not at all.

If a gear score type add-on comes in place, as everything else, this would be a player created problem.

as long as the new engine makes the game less system intensive I'm happy with the way it looks

I guess I'll just enjoy getting good at the game without information in 10 windows on my screen.

I'll just be sure to tell everyone that I have the add-ons installed <_<
