Default

Why do you use a UI from a third party? mainly because the "default UI" is lacking the features that a vast majority of the 3rd party's have by default. I'm not a healer, but for the past 6years folks that do play healers have used 3rd party UI's because of the "click to cure" option that the default UI lacks. I also enjoy the freedom the 3rd party UI's offer, color, functions and "tweak-ability".


What do you think devs need to keep in mind when designing game UIs? the "devs" need to understand who they are making changes for, not the "corporate knuckle-heads" that don't play but rather the "players". there is a thread on their official forums and they listed "who" they consulted about the new UI changes and NOWHERE in their own list was the "players". The "devs" and their "higher-up" should ask the end-users what they want and why, then do it.


What do you think is the best third-party UI for EQII and why? I have listed some of my reasons for using a 3rd party UI above and the one i chose to use, and have since i started playing EQ2 is ProfitUI. It has the features im looking for, and has all the "tweak-abity"i need.

anyways....thats my 2cp
