I'm just glad because now it won't be YET ANOTHER addon that I "absolutely must" have for raiding for people to let me into their groups. I mean seriously, DBM, Gearscore, Omen, Recount, Clique & Grid for when I go heals, etc., etc., etc., by now my addons are bound to be getting close to taking up as much of my system's resources as the game itself! I really wasn't looking forward to having to tack on yet another...and now I won't have to! At least for a few more weeks until some new trend in raiding elitism comes along.

Why would you "need" the GS addon? Others can just see your score anyway. Recount? Who the heck needs Recount to raid? Clique isn't "needed" either. It does make it easier, but @mouseover macros does the job equally well...

Bound to "F" on my druid:
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead] Rejuvenation;[@mouseover,help,dead,combat] Rebirth;[@mouseover,help,dead,nocombat] Revive; Rejuvenation

Now I just mouseover the one I want to Rejuvenate or Ress (combatress or not) and press F. Done. G is similarly bound to Lifebloom, T to Regrowth, R to Nourish.

And this can be done without any addons at all, just clever keybinding.

I'm well aware that they aren't literally needed to raid in WoW, otherwise the default UI would already have them. But by my experience if you don't have them you're not allowed into raid groups. Period. Elitist snobbery, pure and simple, and AVR was already catching on with this exact crowd like a fast-moving plague.
