Hmm I wonder if this also means we will be getting a client-side UI now as well, or if the modding system is going to be made to work with the current UI system?

[Reika]

I hope the UI will become client-side...

[Munba]

I don't like mods, if you ask me.. :/

why do ppl think if there adding UI mods they would allow other type of mod like what wow haves? I bet any UI mods would have to be pass by them first before allow to be used on the game if not then they have hacking problems again lol.

Who knows? It could turn into that if Modding gets out of hands and people make mods that pretty much play the game for you, all you have to do is press the right key (healbots). say X healer doesnt have the newly developed healing mod, and misses a heal by 1.4 seconds. there WILL be that person that goes psycho when he/she finds out that person didnt use healbot...

The party list is basically heal bot anyway, you just press the skill (number 7 in my case) and click the name, it wouldn't take much to use an external program to configure 7 to the left mouse button for example.

It seems like people are getting UI mods and botting confused... "heal bot"? "Playing the game for me"?

Healbot is actually not a bot, it just allows you to configure healing spells to the click of the left and right mouse buttons.

The problem is if they make mods for the boss encounters we may face down the line, people will start 'requiring' you use them to join a raid or HNM group. Like how people 'Require' you to use vent to be in their LS's already (I am in no such LS >.>). It wont be a matter of optional use for long.

That's also my concern. I'm against it too.
