One of the things I learned while playing Warcraft was the importance of scalable interfaces.
When I first started, I was lucky to get my character to move across the screen in a straight line. I didn't know what a mod was, I just wanted to kill squirrels.
By the time I joined a guild and we were raiding high-level instances, I had to have a screen full of mods that tracked every nuance of my characters (and raids) performance. Without them, I would have felt naked and nearly unable to play.
As developers, I think we often forget that folks go through a very rough period of learning how to use an app to being able to quickly navigate it. Once they hit the latter period, there would be no harm in offering them additional power.
- 0x44 18y agoBlizzard does not offer additional power, it's only through the use of third-party add-ons that you have it.
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoBlizzard offers the Lua scripting interface which facilitates the add-ons. It seems to have been a successful strategy.
