A bit confusing that it can't copy over your mundus stone which will potentially limit the usefulness in instances. Also, by the sounds of it, you can't use the assistant in any vet trials or arenas. It makes sense, but again, it's another reason to stick with the addon option if it's available.
I will not be surprised if the API loses the hooks for gear changes. Remember pre-buffing in trials? The devs had to alter a lot of sets to "break" pre-buffing. Now the trash/boss duality? I would NOT be surprised at all if addons lost the ability to access builds to the current extent. Thus, PC raids would only have 1 setup per run, just like console.
It will be very disappointing if this new system also comes with the addition of removing the functionality of addons at the same time. It would be very petty to provide a weaker version of an addon... with a paywall... then remove the option to use the addon as well. I'll cross my fingers and hope that they don't go that route.
Well, paywall is a strong word. Just like outfits you get enough for "free." Console has been clearing titles (trifectas) without gear switching for 7 years. Yes, PC is 're used to being spoiled, but honestly, that kind of gear grind puts a LOT of players off end-game content. Heck, even grinding out more than 1 set of gear (meta changes at least yearly) puts people off doing advanced content.
It's healthier for the game if we're a little less min/max focused.
They were so satisfied when they announced that they had made a worse version of an addon lol.
Woo, I'm sure it will be 5k crowns (plus crowns for build slots) for a worse version of Alpha Gear or Dressing Room! And I can't use it in arenas, trials, or Cyrodiil? Incredible!

Wish add-ons could do that easily but it's completely new feature that would probably alleviate or ease a lot of issues be it fake roles, tank overland and solo arenas, pvers going pvp and vice versa, being soft locked to a single spec etc.

Sounds like a great step forward delivered in a clunky way.
I'm not seeing how having to travel/go through load screens/spend money is any quicker or easier than changing it manually for me.
If it had been like outfit slots, you select build 2 and away you go, I'd have been singing zos's praises. That's true QoL.
I wouldn't mind MAKING a build at a station.
But not being able to change on the fly makes this something I'll very rarely use.

it also comes as an assistant.
Only 2 slots?....will be continuing to use addons...

I think the point that yourself and others are missing about addons and the comments from worried PC players, is that Zenimax has to ALLOW addons to be used and because there is now going to be a poorer version available but much of it on the Crown Store, that they will DISALLOW addons that do similar (but better) things, by simply not allowing addon authors to access that functionality from the game.

Haven't thought about that yet. Now I am thinking about it.
Definitely sounds like something they might do long term. They'll say something like "addons that are spying or exploiting will be banned", but the actual list includes stuff like this and enough people on copium will defend the decision. Especially the part of the console crowd that thinks all addons are exploits and "playing the game for you".
after there leaked it that console get away swap hole setup´s quicker like bars gear at once i was so hyped but after there told us it isnt possible to use in raids and arena´s its dissapointed me even more its defently not fair pc endgame teams can use it over ages for scores in arena and trails why console get not the right for it?
Rich has said at least three times on his stream tonight that they will not be affecting any current addons and specifically mentioned dressing room.Only 2 slots?....will be continuing to use addons...
