The Forgotten Proto-Vault in Zereth Mortis no longer requires the World Quest "Frog'it" to appear. Wrath Classic gets more hotfixes, with retail receiving a small one as well. This is unfortunate for ElvUI as, regardless of any damage control efforts from Method, people will view this as an indictment of a great addon and it may lose a significant user base. It tells me there is little understanding of the situation all around. Either way, an addon, even one as heavy as Elvui, should not be that much of a burden unless your system is either already weak or, it is being taxed elsewhere.ĮDIT: Just looked at the tweet from Method and this stands out " Our decision is mostly based on some of our raiders sucking at addon config." Yeah, poor configs can cause unnecessary resource use. This just seems like a band-aid for a bigger problem that Method is choosing to not address or, possibly a misdiagnosis and incorrect solution being applied. If addons continue to be an issue after making graphical adjustments, then it comes down to hardware. If you can't play PvE due to FPS issues, graphics settings should be the first thing to address from a "soft" perspective. I find it hard to believe that FPS can be degraded so much on a MMORPG in PvE that an addon must be avoided. There's also 0 reverse engineering needed to modify elvui, the source code is non-obfuscated, well commented and the actual developers seem to want to have an open source mod, so the policy of banning distribution of a modified addon is nonsensical. Their position regarding "intellectual property" is also a brainlet one, Blizzard clearly states they have full rights to any mods, while ElvUI publishers state you cannot distribute a modified version of their addon, that looks like a contradiction to me, either you own it or someone else does.
ElvUI is currently overloaded with "Quality of Life" features they stockpiled throughout all expansions and abstracts too much for the sake of sweeping the widest target audience.Īnother issue that you can only fix yourself (or "illegally" get a modified ElvUI version, why "illegally" explained in the next paragraph) is the update and status pings that elvui uses through mod channels, I personally run a modified ElvUI version that spams all connected players in guild/party with version updates as I set my version to something like 420.69, just to make life harder for anyone using ElvUI until someone finally notices this intrusive feature.
