first: you're crazy if you think it was a failure. that's the direct opposite of reality. 9-12 million people using thousands and thousands of addons successfully- some of which being so popular that blizzard eventually adopts their functionality into its default UI... is a failure?

second: seriously out of the 9-12 million subs WoW has had over the last few years, can you show me some documented cases of people "abusing" addons in ways that violate ToS? or are you just pulling this completely out of your ass and making wild assumptions? because i'm leaning toward that.

third: those "many" mmos that have come along after WoW and elected to lock down their UIs- how have they fared, exactly? oh, right. they failed, or are failing. mmodata.net, bud. read it and weep.

i seriously don't know what the hell you're smoking, but you are clearly high.
