I’m ok with any add on that ends at the users PC .. My worry is addons that Adress the inconveniences and and social aspect of WoWv that would then be spread wide and allianate those who choose not to use them.The discussion going on here is a clear example of why the people screaming "NOCHANGES" are detrimental to these realms.
What you are NOT getting with Classic is a time machine. You are still going to be playing the game in 2018 and onward. Things have changed about gaming and computers since then, and as such so will the player experience.
I wish some one could take a poll about how many people use the addon Questie, because its got so many fucking downloads that I swear it must be everyone.
Whenever you watch a streamer or see screenshots, you see people with complete UI overhauls, and all kinds of addons tracking dots, buffs, and debuffs.
These things didn't exist in 2005 and they dramatically change the game.
The fact that people develop them for Classic tells you all you need to know. Some people DO WANT CHANGES. Otherwise these addons wouldn't be being used or developed. But there are changes that make sense to the base game, and actually make the game BETTER.
Now, I am totally for breaking some addons. There aren't any that I'm aware of that make the game too crazy, but I do worry about the potential of addons like Weak Auras getting into Classic and out of control. There is already a modified Power Aura that was made for private servers and it works some what the same way that Weak Auras works today but its not nearly as adventurous.
I'm making an assumption, but I would expect once this game is mainstream, addons are going to explode in terms of power and development.
When that happens, they might as well have changed things, because its going to be an entirely different playing experience for people who choose to use them.
