Well, in my opinion (and I think most other people's), the default interface doesn't give enough information.
Healers use addons that make it more obvious when someone has a debuff that they can cure. Crowd Control classes use addons that tell them when their spells have been broken or worn off. Tanks (especially, but all classes) use Threat Meters to tell them when someone is about to steal threat (or when they should ease up on the DPS to avoid getting aggro) Thats just a few examples, there are many more that help raiders have more control over whats going on. But mostly I think, the reason that most raid videos have custom interfaces, is that interface modders just like showing off  |

Sorry, I totally worded that wrong.
I'm all in for custom interfaces. What I MEANT to say, is why a lot of people use the plain blizz interface, no addons. Sorry  Does it put less stress on the computer? Clearer sight?

 Does it put less stress on the computer? Speaking as a dude that got by on minimum specs for a long time, I never noticed any difference in performance. I tested it, at one time I had 450ish folders in interface/AddOns, there was no difference in framerate or latency whether all those addons were enabled or not. Clearer sight? Nope, can't be that either, have a look at some of the minimalist compilations on this site. ~~~~~ I had a quick look around on YouTube and you're right, most of them are using the default interface... Perhaps the people that like to record their adventures aren't the sort of people that like using alot of addons? Last edited by robthedude : 06-10-08 at 08:28 AM. |

On that video it looks like his screen is so small/UI scale is so large adding a custom UI wouldn't have any benefit as his screen would get so cluttered
