What competing MMOs are you speaking of? Guild Wars 2 has no addons, neither does any of the failed ones. There is WoW, but that is waning.

Custom addons, DPS and threat meters, transform the game into something that was not intended by the game designers. DPS meters bring out the worst in people and the game should be designed to not require threat meters anyway. If they are there, they become ubiquitous and people expect you to install this or that just to be able to do something in the game.

I encourage no addons.
