This game has PlayStation playerbase. It's unlikely that the development team will start designing encounters with addons in mind.

The WoW mentality of every raid member must use addons is not because addons exist, but because their developers acknowledge the use of addons and started designing encounters with it in mind. A patch update in WoW will not break their addons. This is done intentionally.

While FFXIV patch will break all 3rd party addons for about 24~74 hours. A lot of players who clear Savage week 1 do it without addons.

This does not mean that WoW raiders are bad without addons, they are good players. It's just that some addons are a must because of their developer's approach.
