Discussion: User Created UI Addons?

[indira]

i mean HOW UGLY is that please:




congrats, you play a statistic game and not a RPG anymore.


personally.. i want to enjoy the game.. the atmosphere and the design as well. in Final Fantasy XIII, VII, VIII i also dont need a damage meter for having the feel that i am a good player.. i know it, when i can beat the monsters more easily than before. and looking at my dmg numbers on my own.


but there you go. "i did 41,992 k damage! im awesome" "ha i have a longer di** , i did 42k dmg" ;D i dont like that idea. im not playing an egoshooter or a game for the statistics.
i know when i do good damage, therefore i dont need an addon.

addons are for people who lack of this abillity. my opinion

rpg part of the game will die and getting the biggest numbers will win. if i wanted to crunch numbers ill go get a degree in physics i just wanna play a game.

well if it does end up like that might as well cancel sub.

Implying the UI has anything to do with "crunching numbers". People were "crunching numbers" on XI, while having the worse UI ever. Can't people understand once and for all that no matter how the game design or the UI are, there will be ALWAYS players whose goal is to min/max everything.

Now, it is your choice to be part of a LS that is hardcore and will focus on success above everything (even if it means playing with Excel and parsers between two raids), or be in a LS that don't care and just play without worrying about numbers...

For everything else (content you do in PUG / EXP / etc.) no one will ever care about numbers. (You may always have someone in your party being like "Oh I rox my DPS is over 9K" but that's about it and it was the same on XI every time a BLM would lend a big nuke...)

You have 10 millions players on WoW, far from all of them are min/maxers and worry about their DPS, HPS, and so on. You have a lot of people who just play and enjoy the game without worrying about that. Those two ways of playing can coexist just fine.


(Note: I didn't use "Play for fun" as an opposite of "Min/max" on purpose. Because crunching numbers is fun to some players )
