I feel like I have had discussions like this for YEARS (oh wait I have) and these are the kind of add-ons that make the game playable for those without brains... you literally just need appendages and a somewhat decent control over them.

Huge nostalgia from this post.<br /><br />I was not a UI purist like many in the guild (i.e. Guns). I used any and every addon I could get my hands on that would help me play my class better. Cooldown timers, a decursing grid, even that one that made your display area into movie screen size so you could put all your UI in the black boxes at the top and bottom. But something like AVR seemed out of the spirit of the game to me and the intention Blizzard had for raiders. <br /><br />Removing unnecessary obstacles to performance, like the default UI (which I never liked), is one thing. However, removing the challenge of where to run, how long to stand there, and who to stay away from, which are basic, core elements of raiding, seemed like a step backwards. <br /><br />One of the biggest things that distinguished us from other guilds was our ability to perform skillfully and competitively, without beating our heads against the wall by raiding 16-20 hours a week, but also without demanding huge nerfs to make encounters easier like a bunch of bad casuals. Utilizing AVR was a step in that direction.<br /><br />Deciding not to use AVR was the right decision, and validated by Blizzard's removal of its functionality a few weeks later.Goldenrodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556575758010903163.post-74625888163330889592014-05-01T13:52:22.660-06:002014-05-01T13:52:22.660-06:00Fred was too busy running from Icehowl to get any ...Fred was too busy running from Icehowl to get any ranks.Jungardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556575758010903163.post-34798319418577261702014-05-01T10:38:05.317-06:002014-05-01T10:38:05.317-06:00That, and you were also quite bad fred.
