When you buy a new house, the house is sufficient. You can stay in it, protect you from rain and sun. Do you not buy furniture for it? If you do, you're a wimp?
Understand the concept of how addons can cause lag to you - not all addons even communicate with each other. Don't spread misconceptions that addons are for lazy people and whatnot, because I'm pretty sure every single top player in the world uses at least some addons. Unless you're better than them then you do not have the right to call them lazy, as they're more hardworking than you in the game.
Granted, you can play 'okay' with the default UI. The human brain can only do so much at a time, and addons are there to help you simplify your task. Just because you can carry a pack of 10kg rice from Tesco and walk home doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. If you insist, sure, you can, but I'd rather drive a car and put it in the boot.
its not the concept of 'house lacking hardware' - but more like 'house is not pimped = not house'
the addons does help with additional data - but not to a point where everything is necessary, or even 'must' where some coined so, where the fact is they ARE lazy - you do not need a flashing big text popping on your screen to keep your party members alive, nor do you need some 'extra tools' just so you know what to do with a quest (READING SKILLS IS NOT HARD).
World of Warcraft raids was never designed with addons in mind - the best example is how blizzard's stand on addons. there is NO official support for addons, nor any updates for them. Every new patch does not cater for addon compatibility - it is absolutely up to you as the user and the creators to update them on your own accord
and your own risks as well - as far as tech support goes, they had more addon compatibility issues than bugs/balance issues.
and Reports of addon crashing your Wow/bugging them out is also not something uncommon
And if one remembers the issue of the Glider Addon, where blizzard has finally won the court case - they have updated their UI policy as well. If you guys dont have interest in reading the whole document, its simple: when you log in, u clicked 'Agree' on following their User Rights Agreement; which the policy allows them to disable any addons, at any time, at their choice, without the need of even telling you, the user.
IF one finds that the addons do help them, which some do find so, it is absolutely fine that they keep using it - things like hard mode raids can use some extra help since there's alot going on. blizzard does not officially say 'no addons guys'
what i personally disagree, is how some person deemed addons as a 'must' thing if you must do 'something'.
you Dont need addons for raids, you Dont need addons for PvP - and you certainly Dont need addons for Questing as well. This game was NEVER designed with addons in mind, and the official standing is they do NOT support any addons.
you ARE free to use addons - but on YOUR own risk, and YOUR own choice.
i simply took the easier/harder way - surviving without the additional 'tools', and learned to enjoy living without hectic patching every time a new patch comes around
