If you strive to be the best, you have to deal with the pressure that comes with it. If you are in a top 100 guild to begin with, and you personally won't settle for less than top 5 in your raid, then you aren't going to treat the game the same way as the guy who wants to ride cruise control and play lore and maybe pvp twice a week.
The addons will ruin the game argument is obstinate and invalid.
"Your too stupid and irresponsible to enter into this university"
"No im not! I didn't take the ACT or SAT because I DONT NEED THEM, and they ruin college life anyways"
"Your child is too short to ride this ride ma'am."
"Well how do you know? You don't have a ruler to lord over us? Let him on."
or...
"Sir your car doesn't make the power you will be competing with if you enter your car into this class, I suggest a lower class."
"Sure it does, we don't need a dyno to tell us that, besides racing is all about the experience and not power"
All I did was apply the logic to different arguments, and you can see it clearly fails.
Damage meter even for personal use is just a tool, how people use it is something entirely different and should be treated as such.
