Honestly the weirdest wording ever...

Options are basically;

"I would like a basic UI, and be able to add mods that change or add to it as much as I want with no limitations"

"I would like ZoS to add in many default features to the existing UI, such as buffs/debuffs, stats of enemy players, etc. (and implicitly deny any other mods, lest it be option #1)"

"I would like the basic UI with NO modding avaliable period"


I noticed you are the same person from another thread (about the 'fairness' and 'forced' nature of modding), and you were on the "pro-mod" side of the argument.
That's fine and dandy, but this poll is somewhat biased because it doesn't address the other side of the argument - namely the "pro-choice-but-not-forced-or-unfair" side.

To the list above, you need to add;

"I would like mod support, but have them officially approved beforehand to ensure that no mods will give any player an unfair advantage"

This, naturally, would include PvP (such as seeing enemies stats when you aren't supposed to) and PvE (where, I'm not sure what modders CAN do because I am not knowledgeable at all in this field...but if it WERE possible to make a mod that highlighted or made a sound every time one was near a resource - this would be an unfair advantage)

This smear campaign, is the most annoying thing I've ever seen on these forums.

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but the way this whole thing is being conducted, I don't know.

I've never really been in this position before.

Again, just a joke. heard people say that about passed games / lack of performance or ui stuff. cant a fella lighten the mood.

Your poll makes absolutely no damned sense.

Modders already can't do anything that the devs don't want them to. The devs control what is exposed for modding via the API. So the mods that people dislike have already been implicitly approved by the devs.

Folks who don't like those mods have to take the position that the devs made a bad decision when they specified the API. That COULD be changed. Not to mention the W word but it happened in WoW; certain functionality was disabled because it was decided that it was bad for the game.
