    Meh.. I only use Pallypower already as it is so it really wouldn't make much of a difference. I don't mind the default UI at all really.

    Addons are the only thing that update the in game ui.

    Re: A neat idea!

    I can't think of any other single change that would make me quit this game, but removing the ability to customize Blizzard's shitty bar system would do it in a heartbeat. I also would mourn the loss of my Bejeweled add-on. What the fuck did my Bejeweled add-on ever do to you that you'd try to kill it? All it did was entertain me during partial wipes and long flights! It is inherently innocent and blameless!

    Bah!

    I wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't make me quit the game. I don't mind most of the UI, personally, but I absolutely hate the action bars/menu area.

    They'd need to include some form of recount, too. I'm DPS, I want to monitor my performance in a raid. I'd also need a more detailed version of Omen, too, for that matter.

    I think it would be kind of fun to watch if they took out the helping addons like Healbot, DBM, and the like. You can keep your cosmetic addons.

    Re: A neat idea!

    That's like saying; take away Glyphs, Enchants and gems.

    But then again the game seems more of challange without glyphs maybe even gems >.>

    Add-ons make mediocre players good and good players awesome. They don't help bad players though.
    When in doubt, simply ask yourself: "What would Garrosh do?"

I healed with the default UI for a while in BC. When I upgraded to Healing Bot my healing got way way better. If they made my go back, I would quit (not Wow. I'd just become a tank or healer).

    The default UI is also a little difficult for dps who have to watch for procs. I have a feral druid and I have to watch my buff bar for savage roar, clearcasting, and berserk timers. Trying to find those among all my random buffs (3-4 rows worth) would be very annoying with addons.

    I use also ArkInventory to arrange my bags (sort of a UI thing)

    I wouldn't mind if they removed all the DBM, auctioneer like addons. It is true that DBM can make some fights too easy. And that auctioneer can be kind of a cheap way to make money.

    However, I think in general that addons have been good for a game. Blizzard has added a lot of features that were once addons (like gear sets). Certainly having customization is nice.

    Only if they offered a better Ui and more utilities.

    DBM/GS I can live without.. i'd prefer if DBM wasn't around so people could quit whining about how easy things are. The reason they're easy is because most of the things that would normally require your raid to communicate is now done by the addon. Blizz went light on the RNG this time.

    Re: A neat idea!

    Don't have much of an issue with this as I only use 2 addons right now and that's Gladius and DBM lol... makes people have to pay significantly more attention in raids/arenas... Would also prolly make people realize that the raids are just as difficult as in vanilla just that you have 20 addons to tell you exactly what to do now.

    Re: A neat idea!

    The default UI is not bad but I really like my customizable addons. If they however allowed you to move some stuff around with default UI I wouldn't go nuts over it and quit, playing with health bars on the top left is annoying and distracting really.

    Re: A neat idea!

    i wouldn't stop playing the game. I wouldn't be happy.... but i wouldn't stop playing. so i guess yes, i'd support it.

    Re: A neat idea!

    You have the option to not have addons at all. However, if an addon helps someone else and makes your raid easier I see no reason to complain.

    OP's post tells me that he prefers to wipe on Sindragosa?
