I'm 'defending it' because it's awesome. I developed it, because it'd be awesome to have. I released it, so some other people would feel awesome to have it.
I don't do and don't defend stuff that i don't find awesome.
I did. Check my esoui profile. Anything there falls into your requirement.
Since you call it idiotic and generally started with throwing around profanities, i can only assume you both don't understand what the addon does and you don't understand how pvp works. Thus my question.
Because it's awesome. I like the information to be presented in a convenient way.
I'm not sure how can you need any addon at all?
I can play pvp without UI. I don't like it, but i'm more than capable to do that. Why would i not play with something awesome, though?

This is pointless.
You will say " Oh it benefits everyone and anyone that disagrees is selfish, igorant and wrong"
Most people will and do disagree -with you
Repeat.
Again, like clockwork.

Bots don't use addons. Bots use totally separate software.
I told you what addons can do, specifically.
And that's totally fine that they disagree with me.
What am i supposed to do with that, besides talking to them and sharing my context?
Their context is obvious. Ganking is a bit harder due to higher awareness of the targets. I regret that it caused frustration.
And i would insist that if an addon correct mistakes on the verge of human perception we need more and better addons like this, because there're some limits to perception you can't overcome.
It stops being 'ill use an addon instead of learning' and instead becomes 'i'll use an addon to perceive something i wouldn't be able to perceive otherwise due to limitations of the default ui'.
It's not about being bad. It's about being better.
If ZOS decided to provide this option i'd definitely would write an addon for that.
How can anyone argue with the " Because I and my add ons are awesome " argument.

So why not make an add-on that presents information in a convenient way and end it there? Why tap into all these other things 99% of other public add-ons don't even feature? I understand what the add-on does, don't worry about that.
Not worth arguing with someone that possesses this mindset:
Though kinda hilarious how he thinks his addon made ganking harder when it doesn't affect what has been the strongest form of ganking since 2015 (melee) at all
It's not an argument. It's my personal opinion.
Are we getting to a point when i'm supposed to double check my personal opinions with the community?:P

And that's exactly what i did. Addons are not capable of doing anything else.
It did, before ZOS fixed that. Blame ZOS:)
That's the nature of addons. You can't do what is not designed to be possible to do.
If ZOS decided to provide this option i'd definitely would write an addon for that.

The issue is that this addon is presenting something to the player that they normally would never be able to see, anywhere given the games base UI. The opponent would literally have to be unstealthed for a player to see the cast-time to be shown in the base UI. In essence, it gives you a poor-mans stealth alert (for a second).
In essence, providing a combative skill to the game via an addon. It isn't something where it takes time to react to (like keep updates, attacks), but something that can be acted upon immediately for instant results.
To be honest, I'd argue it's unfair out of stealth as well, since you can no longer "hide" cast animations by standing behind pets or jumping etc, so it essentially takes away from player skill there as well (not to mention allowing you to dodge frags etc that fly in from out of your FoV).

If you and me are in PVP and I'm positioned behind you, you're trying to run away from me and I'm trying to frag you in the back, how in the world is it fair to me that you KNOW exactly when to press block or dodge to avoid being hit?

Well his build, just by the gear and numbers (and CP) sure make him slippery and tough to kill. But he isn't an aggressive killer. I have hit him a few times and all he did was run full speed ahead football fields away from me. Only to come back during some brawl and bow light attack to death at max range.
edit: attack me*
I don't like it, but it at least evens the field for those who couldn't access the cheat before. Its obvious groups would've been abusing it secretly. If ZOS says its OK for everyone to use then sure.
However I really wish it wasn't allowed. It is by definition a cheat, and as such I do not use it.
My good friend Scipio conveniently omits existence of 4-10 other players around him:) But for Scipio's sake i'd admit running away from him:)

I think this is the same point.
The problem with this point is that it pushed forward the concept of fairness. And since different people consider different things to be 'fair' and 'unfair' in my mind it can't be a basis for rational discussion and instead becomes a matter of preference.
Say, i'd prefer to know about anything that is directed to my character. Because that's my preference. I don't see a way to refute it without relying on purely emotional pressure, which at best, might just make me scared and stop replying.
Because it's possible and, as in above, because some people consider it only fair to know that. That what fairness is for them.
Yet again you demonstrate lack of rational reasoning and an attempt to emotionally dominate. I find this unfortunate.
I'm a kind of player that happen to be considered one of the best stamblades NA. Some think i'm the best, but i'd argue that Kodi might still win by a small margin. Sorry for the pitch.
I was that player before the addon. I still am after.
You, and many other people, don't really understand that Cyro really rarely provides a challenge for me. It become quite boring. I have zero desire to 'do whatever to win' or whatever you might project on me. I sincerely consider the addon as a convenience. I wasn't joking when i said that i could successfully pvp without UI altogether. I did. It's more frustrating though, and i don't consider forced limitations to be a form of challenge.
That's me. You might still find a thing to blame me for. Like lies, all lies:) That's on you.
About 2 weeks while i was developing the addons. Since we don't have a 'test cyro' to develop in there wasn't much of a choice.
UI addons cannot be exploits by the definition. See above about ZOS, UI, API, design choices etc.
And while you're at it tell me about a way to develop an addon without testing it in the relevant environment.
Keep in mind that i don't find a problem in me.
It's you who suddenly have a problem with some other person. Who you never talked to. I'd think about it if i were you.
If i had it for myself you might have had a ground, but i don't and thus you don't.
Think again please.
See above.
And you might consider it a good time to apologize. We all got temper. But we can learn to control it.
Yep, i watched a couple of your vidoes. I'd still win you, unless as a mag sorc you'd force a draw. The fact that you play it in its current state already tells quite a lot about you.
