This game badly needs mods and macros.

You are looking at total downloads for addons over the span of 7 years are you?

Trying to incorrectly use a dozen periods in your sentence to try to highlight your words does not make it so.

You use addons for convenience. Convenience is another word for "the act of making something easier".

Unless you are living in a world where 2+2 != 4, the very premise of addons is to make the game easier. Either addons make it easier by reducing the amount of concentration you need to invest (IE: telling when there is about to be fire that needs to be dodged) or by making it easier by rearranging data in an easier to read format (IE: rearranging your UI so that it's more friendly) - the very premise of an addon is to "make the game easier for you."

Very few people would ever install an addon or mod that would make the game more difficult.

One side wants the option to expand on the limits of the game. The other demands people play the way they want them to play because they dont like or use something.

Also, please feel free to remove your gas gauge from your car, your temperature gauge from your oven, and the calculator you use to do bills with. All are unnecessary and make the act of driving/cooking/paying bills "easy mode"

Dont assume, read. If you bothered to read or had the remote ability to actually form an argument based on facts, context or detail you wouldnt need to do what you do.

Again, topic has and always will be people who dont use mods or know what a mod is on one side, and those that do use them on the other.

One side wants the option to expand on the limits of the game. The other demands people play the way they want them to play because they dont like or use something.

I had this whole long post written out, but I realized it isn't worth it. If you want to be irrational and think that having addons/macros/damage meters ruin the game rather then enhance it, then please feel free to do so.

The only item you listed that is 'unnecessary' is the calculator as you can do the math by hand. The other two items you listed are not luxuries, they are mandatory. You need to know how much gas you have in your car and you need to know how hot an oven is. You don't need to use a calculator to do math.
