Let's see...

Why complain to zenimax? This is about addons. So maybe complain to the authors first?

The content of the changelog is completely up to the author. There aren't any guidelines on what it should contain and authors are not required to even write one.

The content of the addons is also up to the author. They can add and leave out whatever they want as long as it does not violate the TOS. Having a feature like custom titles and not adding an ingame setting does not violate the TOS in any way and the author(s) clearly stated that it works as intended.

Same can be said for character names. Should ZOS disable displaying names because of that?

Again, why ZOS? And as explained earlier, you gave your full permission to let the addon change your UI in that way when you installed an addon which contains the lib.

No? Just don't install it if you don't like it.

There is a lot of stuff in addons that is not needed for one user, but others want it. Can't please everyone.


It's fine to voice your opinion, but what you are doing here is a) attacking authors, b) being entitled, and c) not constructive.
