    Don't use it mostly because I found the pop up more annoying than anything but tbh, the advantage it gives isn't a big deal, u can hear/see those attacks coming without it with just a bit of situational awareness. Also, if ZOS were to get rid of miats add-on, they'd have to do the same with raid notifier as that add-on does way more than miats. Imagine the backlash to that lol.

    from what I heard this is what happened


    day 0: ppl complained about that addon
    day 1: ZOS said they will look into it
    day 2: ZOS made the official statement saying this is not intended and will fix it
    day 3: patch day, ZOS killed the addon by making enemy information not available to the addon
    day 4: PVPers happy
    day 5: PVEers complained
    day 6: ZOS reverted the change cuz they cant get the API to work in PVE while disabled in PVP. "WORKING AS INTENDED CONFIRMED!"
    Today: This

    Anyone remember similar timeline with animation canceling?

    As someone who writes my own addons I can say this If the API allows a piece of code to function then there is no reason that piece of code to be exploited to the fullest.. Almost all my addons are private and I use it to maximize my gaming experience. If you want you can write your own or use the ones that are publicly available. Same argument with animation cancelling. The game allows it hence I use it.
    I play how I want to.

    This is not a cheat . I am sure is only a l2p issue. Also , everyone could install this addon.

    everyone can get aimbots in shooters, so should it be allowed then?

    The game also allows you to bring 20 of your friends from opposite faction and kill them over and over again for easy AP. Does that mean its healthy for the game?

    Personally all I care about is "Am I having fun?" If the answer is yes and if I'm within the rules/limits of the game nothing else matters.

    You can't ban miat's add on. Because there are people out there that have Thier own add ons and don't share them. So only change the API, otherwise only "edumacated" peeps have the sentient add ons.

    If the overarching rules allow the action does performing the action make you a criminal? I think you are confusing ethical vs legal? You can expect a person's actions to be within the legal limits but as far as ethical limits is concerned "nothing is fair" and everything is fair game.

    Use of the addon and other more game breaking addons is legal as long as the API allows it. If a player makes a conscious decision to not use the addon its his choice. He is adhering to his ethical standards. Doesn't mean everyone has to.

    My guess would be that ZOS has become disillusioned with their own game. Cant really think of any other reason why they would let cheater/hackers blatantly undermine the gameplay of legit players - most of whom have left at this point anyway.

    I'm not confusing anything, my point wasn't about what was "legal", it was about the notion that there is no reason it should not be exploited to the full, there are plenty of reasons like it may be bad for the game, that is doing something that is impossible in the game so is effectively cheating, pride in one's gameplay, etc, now that you may ignore or find those reasons unimportant is up to you, but there are reasons nonetheless, just like there are reasons not to commit a crime beyond the fact that it is illegal.

    If ZoS allows it, it's not cheating. Simple, really.

    Second all those reasons that you may find morally reprehensible just does not apply to everyone. Me, for example, I use the add on cause I play on a low-ish end pc, and also from abroad. My ping averages, when lucky, at 250 making it really hard to notice and properly react to frags, and many other hard to visualize interactions.

    @Dorrino's addon allows me to fully develop my capabilities and for that I'm really thankful.

    Unless ZOS openly states that using such addons is cheating and it is incapable of removing the use of such addons, it is not cheating from my ethical standpoint. It may differ from your view point but I honestly don't care what others think.

    The need for addons would be less if the UI ZOS provides with the game wouldn't be so...minimalistic. Besides, I share Miat's view towards stealth. Doesn't mean you have to turn on the notification the addon provides. Everyone has a choice.
