First off, kudos to some very thoughtful and intelligent posts here. Agree or disagree, great thoughts IMO.

Personally, while add-ons are not essential, I find myself playing ESO more with them. I find myself enjoying the game much more.

Look, I respect players like @AlexDougherty who decide not to use them and if that's what floats your boat, more power to you. But I can have a busy enough life with enough responsibilities and details to attend to, I personally don't want them in my game.

I want my game to be immersive and fun... If I wanted to make another Excel spread sheet and stick it on a 2nd monitor I would have stuck with EvE

Fair enough, I would never force my play style on others, and as I have said, the addons do make sense. I understand why people use them, and can't say I disapprove, some seem to subtract away from exploration aspects, but I can't say that I won't ever use the Lorebooks one.

Just to emphasise I won't criticise anyone for using them.

(although I did criticise the one for plants and metal lodes yesterday, but that was a criticism of the addon not people using it)

What broken add ons are you all talking about. I updated mine and all are working fine.

As was totally epexted by everyone some addons broke on the Update. Most have been fixed.

There is however a bug in the saved var system that reset all the settings and stored data (it's on the known issues list; could be avoided if you made backups or knew of it in advance).
An unfortunate but understandable mistake from fellow, fallible, human programmers.

Of course programmers make mistakes. However, as anyone who has programmed seriously knows, there are processes in place to ensure that those mistakes are caught before they reach the customer

All of wich are done by other, fellow, fallible humans.
You ain't that perfect yourself @Dedder‌

The only way to get experience in the programming field is to make mistakes. They made it now. They will have the experiecne to avoid it from now on. It's not the ***-Zombie appocalypse.
In a month nobody will even remember this happened unless we point them towards it.

Honestly , i have yet to check which addons they broke , im hoping the modders can get them back working before i login.

Then again , this is how zen develops this game , they break everything that is worth having and add their crap broken content filled with bugs instead of checking it first.

Librarian is intetnionally left broken to preserve the data till the whole saved var thing is fixed.
Guild Store Search Extended has some odd timing issues. Smell like race condition and those just s*ck to debug.
Batman store filter is bronken and won't be fixed because it became unessesary.
ZrMM is broken, has been deprecated for a while and propably the cause for the "people enter group delay" several peopel experienced.
