This post was published 9 months 5 days ago which may make it out of date. This does not mean the information is wrong, or useless - it is a warning just in case!

Quick edit: I went away last Thursday and scheduled a load of posts…which apparently haven’t posted while I was away!! Rather than spam you all with five posts today, I will simply post double posts until they are all posted.

Well well, it seems that every single response said that addons were in fact fair, as long as everyone has the same ability to get them – which we do.

Almost every single addon out there is available at Curse or WoWInterface. It is up to the individual user to find, learn and use these addons themselves to compete.

In saying that, there does seem to be a lack of knowledge out there. A lot of people might want to use addons such as KTQ or Market Watcher yet it is not always easy to know how to use these addons, or even know of their existance!

It was interesting to hear that some people, such as Bobreaze, said they wouldn’t even bother with the auction house if they didn’t have the benefit of addons. Does this mean that the standard auction house UI and design is lacking? Or is it just that now we have all these tools, we would hate to go back to it even though it isn’t all that bad?

Arkraven suggested an experiment whereby someone would try to dominate a market without the use of any addons. LargeRichard took this one step further, asking if it could possibly be done in a highly competitive and more involved market such as glyphs, which a lot of people perceive as an ‘addons are mandatory’ market.

There were a lot of really great replies to this weeks discussion, more than I can hope to discuss here without going on too long! If you haven’t you should definitely read the post Are Addons an ‘Unfair Advantage’?.

Thank you all for your comments and for adding to the discussion.

This weeks discussion post will go up at 23:59 this evening for you all to muse over!
