    I don't use add-ons because I consider it cheating, ya bunch of cheaters. Play the game as intended or gtfo, imo.



    How are mailbox and UI addons cheating? Are you racing someone when you are opening in game mail?
    Yes.

    I looked into the Elviu UI mod and got like 100 results (on Curse).  I have no idea which one is the main one that I need to change the look.  I looked at a lot of them but any help would be appreciated. 
    I would suggest installing it from the official site below and then using WoWMatrix to keep it updated. :)

    I actually already run curse.  Should I uninstall and get wowmatrix? I've never used it, but I'm not opposed to trying something new.

    They put hours and hours into game design so players can skip all of it with add-on helpers and trackers.

    Wonderful.
    Player Choice to use addons, not forced. Calm down.

    Funny as it is, Curse doesn't update ELVUI, though all other add-ons I use it does. Only WoWMatrix updates ELVUI. :D Consequently, I use both. :) 


    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I don't use Wow add-ons any more.  Gotten too many viruses from them.  If there was a sanctioned site that you could trust, but of course there is no such thing.

    Yes I know people will try to tell me some of these sites are ok, but I have been burned by most of the them at some point in time.  Just not worth the risk.












    In the almost decade I've played WoW and used addons, I've never gotten a virus from them. Nor have I heard of anyone getting one until I read your post.









    if you knew wtf are you talking about (because you are lying just to make feel you special) you would know that addons are just a bunch of lua files that are just text, they dont execute anything for themselves







    @Ozmodan, does know of what they speak. Translation, @Ozmodan is correct. I will never write a tutorial on viruses. The number one vector of infection is music lyrics. Why? Because hackers don't respect music fans. Who else don't they respect? Mod users. That is why they target them. FYI, lua script can be written virus level stuff. But don't ask me for prof. I'm not going to say look at X mod for an example of a virus. Or go to Y site for a list of mods viruses. Or read Z article to learn how to attack mod users and websites.




    I support the idea that there are four types of MMO gamers: killers, achievers, explorers, and socializers. I am a huge fan of WoW, but don't play anymore. When I did, I used two mods. One to highlight harvesting nodes on the maps. The second to highlight quest zones / spawns on the map. Konfess is the patron saint of Healers, so I loved playing in groups. But I couldn't hold up a group so i could harvest some node. When I didn't use the latest raid mod, I stopped getting invited to raids. Again my belief is that these mods support the killer playstyle, and ignore or harm the other three playstyles.




    I don't know, because I haven't investigated them at all. But I suspect that Handy Notes and Rarity diminish the experience of achievers. Again, I don't know Rarity, but I do know MMO loot drop statistics. Most drops happen across a variety of mobs, zones, and players. When you do a sucess calculation for a subset of mobs, zone, and player, your result becomes meaningless. I farmed an item drop for two month, before I decided to just buy it off the Auction House. My sense of achievement would have been greater if I had looted the item. But an inaccurate mod telling me that I am 65% closer to reaching my goal would not. Especially if two other players in the zone had already achieved the loot drop, without the mod knowing.




    Is TomTom a detriment to explorers, and socializers? Will a play ask in chat, "Can someone help me find W underwater cave, please?" Those who don't use TomTom will.




    I have suspected this for some time now. Why do so many players only stick around for a short while and get board? Access to so much outside information. A mod that either drags or rushes the player through content. Wikis that provide all the answers and limit the need for social interaction between players. I almost want to say, a developer must now limit or control the flow of information of their game.




    I read all this . Gonna go smash something now.
