Anyone that is actually paying attention on the combat tracker thread will know that I am absolutely against add ons.
Should all be built in to the game client.
You're supposed to tag @Noaani like this. They absolutely love that.
So that's a nono for me
Yeah, except we know that in economic nodes (where playing the economy is taken most seriously), price history, sales volume and average price information will be available.
I mean, everyone knows that if you want players to take an aspect of the game seriously, all you need to do is give them tools and data. Since Intrepid want a solid economy where some people take it seriously, they need those tools available.
However, those tools become cumbersome for those not wanting to take the economic game seriously, which is why they are not available outside of economic nodes.
Historically, this is the point of add ons. Players that wish to take one aspect of the game more seriously than most would acquire tools related to that area that allowed them to take it more seriously. If Intrepid dont want add ons, they need to provide those tools to those that want to take those areas more seriously.
Fortunately, they know this and have said their plan for not allowing add ons includes making the game in a way where they are not needed.
Nope not happening and thats a good thing WoW literaly plays itself now with all there add ons sp it not very fun at all anymore since all you realy do it follow directions of addons :P
Addon also create unfairness between those who have and have not got them to the point they become mandatory.
The only thing I could see players wanting is something like Questie in WoW since they've already said that there will be no map icons to indicate the location of your quest target. You'll have to read the quest text and go from there.
I can understand that it can get slow and frustrating, but it does give a bigger sense of adventure and immersion, which could be destroyed by an addon.
In the end it will depend on whether some quests are way too confusing without some third party aid.
The WoW addons mostly just cover up poor UI decisions.
