Just the idea of a Free Company having demands like that makes me feel uncomfortable. I mean, not least because of the privacy issues around players being able to run checks on my client.. Even if it is only to look for certain add-ons, it seems pretty rude.

Still, I doubt I'll be using them to any great extent, especially given I prefer my UI be as spartan as possible. Anyone demands I operate them probably isn't someone I want anything to do with anyway.
It's the reason I hate Add-on enabled games -- some become "required" or "can't play the game without" which sucks the fun out of any MMORPG, especially considering how gungho about "freedom" people seem to be.
