It shows you when you hover an item, exactly wich stats would decrease and wich would increase compared to what you have equipped. so lets say you are lvl 75+ and have a blue lvl 68 ish tbc axe, and loot a lvl 75 green one somewhere, when you hover the green one, it would exactly show you on wich stats it's better or worse, and in one glance you can therefore see if you should replace the blue with the green (or not). This saves tremendous amounts of BoE you got soulbound just to see if it would really increase some of your stats ^^ |

- Other unit frames (target of target, focus, even if focus was quite obviously gonna be added at some points even if addon authors hadn't done it) - Cast bars on other unit frames - Bar swapping - Showing only own debuffs on target or such filters on buffs/debuffs But about CTRA, what I remember with addon communication was especially that everything was done on channels for which incoming messages were hooked by CTRA, but if you ever uninstalled it and forgot to leave the channel, or if it bugged, you would probably receive an insane amount of spam at some point :) SendAddonMessage was a really good addition, even if it could have been better. |
Blizzard created World of Warcraft, then allowed people to add to World of Warcraft, via addons, for personal play style happiness.
These people decided, hey, this really enhances my play style, I bet others would enjoy this as well, and shared their enhancements of World of Warcraft with everyone. Blizzard did not mind this sharing, and continued to allow enhancement of Wolrd of Warcraft. Blizzard saw that tons of people enjoy these enhancements to World of Warcraft, and added some of the popular enhancements in the default game and continue to update World of Warcraft to cater to the players. In my opinon, Blizzard allowed players to use addons in Wolrd of Warcraft to get a feel of the way the majority of World of Warcraft players would like to play, so they could continue to provide a game to people that they would enjoy for a very long time. Thank you, each and every addon author, for contributing to this game, for it has indeed evolved World of Warcraft to a level that millions of people (including yourselves, I would hope!) enjoy playing for hours on end each day of their lives. And thank you Blizzard, for allowing your player base to tinker with your extremely addictive and fun World of Warcraft, for it has brought the mmo genre an added dimension of personal involvement and enjoyment, a trend I personally hope other mmo's will employ in future games. That being said, arent Wolrd of Warcraft addon's entirely optional? Why would anyone be upset if Blizzard implements an idea that someone freely shared with the player base of World of Warcraft? |

I can't answer for addon authors, but I personally would probably quit playing. The best thing about WoW, to me anyway, is it's almost infinite flexibility. Take that away, and well, it's just another game.

But as for the addons, I'm a bit torn. I love to see things I use addons for implemented into the game. Means less time updating on patch day and more functionality when i make a new toon and haven't situation the ui yet. Yet, I hate it when people's work is stolen. Independent programmers work hard to provide a free service to the community, their work is so good that people lavish praise upon them. The Blizzard steps in and takes it for their own. If I had to choose I'd say leave the UI tweaking to the community. we'll decide what we want to use or implement; and after we develop it, let us keep it as our own. |

You have to think about people who don't know how to use addons or simply don't want to. The more fortunate of us can continue using our addons like we always have if we like the look or function better. It also levels the playing field a bit in some cases.

I could be wrong here but wasnt the extra action bars (The ones you can enable in the interface options) originally a addon?
