WoW is bad today because they build a whole content based on hardcore players. They forced casual players to play as a hardcore and as a consequence the game is more competitive.
WoW is almost a MMO version of a MOBA.

FFXIV still a chill and lovely game. I do use ACT sometimes when i want to figure out how damage really works and ALSO i use XIVLauncher with some plugins. PLUS i use mods for BLM, DRK and NIN skills AND Gshade Angelite. No regrets

So..how exactly my preferences are making your game worse?
Absolutely disgusting. It's mods like this that will destroy the game.

I can see a time where you won't be allowed into any end game group unless you are using a UI addon that shows your ping. And don't get me started on a mod that inserts a comma into damage values. That is peak cheating and completely ruins everything the game is about.

In all seriousness, there is absolutely nothing wrong with clientside UI mods, I don't know why people get so angry about how other people set up their UI.

Same as people who get angry about ACT and parsing. Just screams "Waahhhh, waahhhh, that person is having fun in a different way to me and that is not allowed".

Addons will never become required by endgame groups, simply because 99% of them are client-side cosmetic style things. And the 1% that are not, are condemned by the addon using community as cheating and generally avoided (XivAlexander being the only one I can really think of that's an unfair advantage - though can you even gain an unfair advantage in PvE where you are only competing against an AI)

All the people I see complaining about this, especially in this thread are casual players who would never touch end game content anyway.
