Every time i watch an eso video or stream on PC, it baffles me that they have all these add-ons that make content so much easier by tell you about incoming mechanics BEFORE they happen, they tell you when to block, when to dodge, when to swap bars, etc. Every difficult mechanic in a dungeon or trial is made easy by these add-ons that make sure the player doesn't forget or miss them. The whole point of mechanics is that the player should remember and deal with them WHILE everything else is happening, that's the hard part, the pressure and the multitasking. Obviously a simple press of a dodge or block button itself isn't hard, it's remembering where and when to do it in the heat of the moment while tanking/dpsing the boss that is difficult. And all of that challenge is thrown down the drain with these lazy easy mode add-ons that have accurate timers for every single mechanic: a text AND a bell sound effect for every time you need to dodge direct attacks, exact timers for the orbs in Graven Deep final boss HM, giant text with the targeted player's name on the screen BEFORE Lady Thorn's one-shot teleport move happens, all those times in cloudrest where you need to stack or kite Aoes or or block etc, exact timers and notifications for when abilities need to be refreshed on the dummy, incoming waves in coral aerie, the spreading Aoes in shipwright's Braddigan,... and so on and on...

PC players have add-ons for all of them, holding their hands, conveniently telling them exactly when to do every important mechanic. This literally and simply makes hard content MUCH easier, it makes it much harder to make mistakes or forget things. When you literally have a device/program telling you when to do mechanics, how is that any different than cheating? How on earth are these add-ons allowed in the game?

I don't play on PC because I hate easy mode. Easy mode take away any need to have skill or the challenge that a game presents.

I know some games where the games are on multiple platform have banned using add ons and any PC player using them are get banned indefinitely.
