I think people got too used to starter motors in cars too. We need those crank starters, the ones that would break your wrist or snap an arm. People really need to know how to start an automobile - that sitting in your car and simply turning a key is for lazy folk. I mean I like a challenge, the crank starters (which are dreadfully hard to crank) should be on all new automobiles! I absolutely hate innovation in all facets of life.

I have seen at least 4 people call out addons as "mindless clicking". I think you all are confused, let me break it down.

Currently you need to complete two actions because of the lack of mouseover macros, you need to physically find the player that needs to be healed and click them to target them, then you need to heal them via keybinds that are on your mouse or keyboard. All a healing addon does is streamline the process, making it so you dont actually have to target the person but mouse over there character pane and use the appropriate spell you have bound to your mouse.

This does not remove the fact you still need to make decision on what spell to use in what situation as it seems you all are assuming, it merely streamlines the process and makes it more enjoyable (for me at least).

If it was built into the UI by Bioware its not an addon.

If you need addons and macros to be an effective healer there is something basic wrong with the game design though and yes, I have a Sage as my main.

I hope you get neither and leave. Alternatively, that they implement these things and perma ban you. This game nor the community needs people like you.

For some people (quite a few, actually) more challenging does equal more fun (or less challenging equals less fun, I'm not sure which, but you get the idea).

Those of us who were healers in that other game in the last expansion, at least the ones who share that particular view, can tell you what a yawn-fest it was. That's one of the reasons I'm here now instead of there.

don't worry there aren't party and op frames to click on, and there aren't default binded keys on the F1-F8 Keys

I didn't specifically ask for an addon, i dont care if bioware implements it or they allow it from a 3rd party as long as its functional, i made that clear in my OP i thought.

I have no real dealbreakers. I will continue to sub for quite some time.
Although there are issues/requests that I do have.

1: Ability delay. Gets frustrating sometimes
2: High textures. Not dealbreaking in any way but I do not see the reason why it isn´t there. PC users are used to freedom of choice. This smells console all over it.

Then there are other things like that I am not that pleased with how tanking work in SWTOR. We are supposed to be the heroes that face overwhelming odds but in flashpoint/objective tanking you are not suppossed to tank them all but instead let dps take some while you tank other.
Compared to Lineage 2 where I used to tank 30-40 mobs at the same time it´s actually quite boring. As a tank I always strive after taking on as much as possible that the group/raid can handle and the challenge lies in keeping aggro on them all.

And the ofc UI customization and target of target would be nice.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Some people also make binds to target them, i find it more efficient to click actually saving space for binds for actual heals. But you kind of missed the gist here, all a healing addon does is skip that step altogether.

He wants WoW post WoTLK WoW where everything was simplified and everything became mindless clicking. Let him go back to WoW and Pokémon.
