Any one that every needs a library, look up my user name on Home Tours. Shalidor's shelves start to the left of the door.

This thread is really scary. I imagined running a trial without add-ons telling me wth is going on and it made me yearn for the comparative serenity of Castle Alessia on a Saturday night.

To me, doing trial scoreboard runs without add-ons sounds like the same kind of self sabotage as doing monoclass runs or naked runs. Like, you can, but... why, unless you're doing a gimmick run? Is sitting there like, thank the gods I'm not allowed to switch to a build that better suits this circumstance, more fun?

Add-ons are a part of the game, and ZOS definitely knows about a name as big as WW. If anything, add-ons are an accessibility feature imo.

I have a friend who runs 0 addons. He's one of the best DDs, if not the best DD, I know. He knows every visual and audio cue in the game. He finds it fun, and he gets a sense of accomplishment from it (I suspect), and him lacking addons has never screwed up any run, so who am I to tell him what to do?! He does his job better than DDs I know with addons coming out the wazoo.

Some raid leads mandate Elms or Crutch. I prefer to teach people where to stand. Now, some may say I am disadvantaged, I say I'm not. Standing on a marker is fine if everything is going well, but it breeds complacency and reliance imo. So when something goes wrong people are unsure of what to do as there is no marker for them to go to in that moment, and that can lead to death and wipes.

I use addons to compensate for sight issues, and for QoL. That's my choice. Others will make different choices, but if everyone has access to the same addons then I really don't see the issue.

Gear swapping addons are basically as old as light attack weaving at this point. I used one called AlphaGear or something like that and the Wizards but I uninstalled both since I don't care about sweating. Kind of funny but I did install a UI addon because I liked the gear icons from AlphaGear and missed that one aspect.

ALL ADD-ONS ARE JUST A YEAR OLD ON CONSOLES and ive been fighting for 6 months now to show the harm this one does

There is no real harm, it just does something which can be done by hand quicker. Everyone can use it if they choose and there is no added advantage other than convenience and time saving. If those are worth it just install the addon(s), simple as that.

Ya'll want crossplay, time to get used to needing to adapt to modern gaming and what PC players have been doing for years.

SPEED in SPEED RUNS is a advantage 2.5 seconds to do what it takes the player 30+ seconds ( thats being overly fair on time as its more like 45-60 seconds) is a 2.75 minute difference in getting GODSLAYER or NOT , top times are 27-28 minutes with 30 being the cut off so without side add-on how many groups would have failed not having 2.75 minutes saved

Flawed premise. I run a trial trifecta prog group, I've asked people to stop using WW because it breaks often, or fails to load profiles correctly which in-turn means players are focussed on having the wrong build, or they have only half a build. Since the change we shaved 2 minutes off our typical runtime.

am sorry the add-on has failed you but in my testing of it 8 vma runs , 6 trials , and in pvp have i ever had it fail to load up right , and im sorry to say i cant believe the part about saving time not using it as no player can switch everything out in under 2.5 seconds like the add-on does

Again, a flawed premise. I asked them to stop switching completely. Same set for trash and bosses.

Edit for clarification: The difference in damage between a trash set and a boss set is absolutely miniscule. Boss setups tend to favour single target damage, but this is a flawed premise. Bosses have adds. If your setup is great at clearing mob packs, it'll be great at clearing bosses. No need to change with an addon or manually. No need to flick between different rotations. Much more efficient and stable.

I’m not "hallucinating" rules.

Can you give me a link to the specific part in "API Access is NOT Legal Consent (TOS, Section D)"

It needs to be in TOS, not Addon Terms. It needs to talk about the API Access. And there has to be a section D.

To modify a saying in my country (it's originally about fire): AI is a good servant, but a terrible master.

It's a tool and will help with the workflow. But I would not give it artistic responsibilities. I wouldn't let a hammer design a house, and I wouldn't let AI design a quest.

I used AI to help aggregate and review these specific legal clauses for accuracy.

....(snipped to highlight the salient point)

While OP is railing and ranting against add-ons for perceived automated game-play they freely admit to using automation to form their posts. May one say hypocrisy and a rather absurd posit?
