Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Depends on how they affect game play. If it is a simple UI that helps you find things a little easier and gives you a little bit of you to the fluffs of the game - fine. But if it's something that altars the way that the designers created the game, then no, that only takes away from the whole player base if one of those "Addons" goes wonky.

A. Umm it's a computer that my hubby set up with everything I need so not to lag =) about all I really know.
