    I think the point is that people want stuff to work out of the box. It's nice if some QoL gets implemented no matter how (looking at you, buff timers).

    I just don't like the fact that you buy a game and then you are expected to download 10 add-ons or you are out. That's BS. I take whatever SE implements and may use the one that mustn't be named that starts with p when I play on PC but other than that I'm not going out of my way. I think how the other MMO does it is utterly ridiculous in that regard.

    Players should not expect other players to download addons. But SE should also not expect players to not create and download addons that fix blatant mistakes and oversights in the game's design. QoL and common sense should be there from the beginning. Players shouldn't need an addon to put ears back on their Hrothgar. They shouldn't have needed an addon that stops the camera from spinning in Legacy mode and shows the length of people's buffs and debuffs. Why did it take 10 years to fix something like that? In base game we still cannot see the damage type of an attack being cast despite the fact that damage reduction abilities only work when used during the cast.

    And players should not need an addon to fix the issue where lag prevents people from double or single weaving, that the devs don't even realise is an issue despite the threads about it and at least two addons that exist to fix the problem. SE even needed players to find what was wrong with the login queue at EW launch. The devs really need to take a hard look at the defects in their product, and luckily it seems like they are starting to do that.

    Their party their rules.

    You're free to start your own static where it's not mandatory.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
