I think you missed my point, I'm not the best at explaining myself, I rant and rant, and things still are no clearer.
I was trying to say that the argument:
"I don't want addons because then there will be boss mods, and they make the game easy." is flawed. It is flawed because Boss Mods can be limited by Bioware so that they aren't anywhere near as helpful as they are in WoW. I wasn't so much trying to suggest that Boss Mods do or do not make the game easy, that argument just leads to nonsense, and so I tend to avoid discussing it, I was using examples to say how WoW's encounters have evolved in complexity to the point where they actually are quite helpful to have, where as in Vanilla, a boss mod or not, it didn't matter anywhere near as much, simply because the encounters were simpler. In Hindsight, that's not really relavent to my point and is just a random observation related to encounters and boss mods, but doesn't really serve any purpose in explaining my reasoning on why the statement is flawed.
So to reiterate. That argument is flawed because Boss Mods don't have to be something that you see as a detriment to the game - if Boss Mods are something you don't want, then that's fine, but you should treat them seperately to other addons because they are different, and all addon functionality can be limited by Bioware, so if everyone is saying "I want addons, I don't want Boss Mods though", then they can do something about it, but if everyone's just going "No, I don't want addons because Boss Mods make it easy mode" then it's probably not going to end up so great, and often it just ends up in silly arguments. I hope you follow, cause I'm not sure I can explain it any better, my ultimate goal is this:
I want addons. I want to customise my UI. I don't care much for Damage Meters - I use it for sure, occasionally to double check things (not just DPS), and I'm not really bothered either way about Boss Mods, have them or don't, I couldn't care, but what I do care for is customising the look and feel of the interface. Removing the portraits from the unit frames, hiding the action bars entirely, changing the cyan to something else etc. These are what I care about, and all I care about is pointing out to the people that only dislike addons because of Boss Mods, that, hey, Boss Mods can be limited, so no need to hate on all addons, just hate on the actual problem you have, if you get me.
