Addons/Mods

[rabbitzero]

Cosmetic stuff would be ok. Hopefully nothing that interfere's with gameplay though. WoW-like add'ons that play the game for you should be avoided like the plague.

This really, WoW has made me dread addons in any mmo. Worst ones are the dps meters where people spam results in even trivial dungeons, and ones like the original healbot, where you could literally raid with one or two buttons. Put someone on follow, hit the macro key, and it would target and choose the right heal. WoW nipped it in the but after a while, but i was there then and it worked better than some healers.

What i would like though is a sort button for my inventory, something to tell me what crafting mats are useful for what (especially fish), and something that helps me remember which parts of what zones are what levels. The way the zones are set up gets so confusing to me at times.

Can you show me any add-on that plays the game for you in wow that is still there because most of them were banned out right from blizzard if they did too much

Like i said, Healbot used to, among others, before BC, but i forget exactly when it was. Along with decursive (spam it to remove any curses, you didn't even have to watch the screen to do it), addons that allowed it to chose your target and select the skill were basically banned by changing how addons could work. They didn't so much ban them as change the code to not allow it. I forget the exact patch that did this, and my google fu is bad today, but it wasn't quite botting, but just by a sliver.
