Addons?
What's the word on Addons now days?
quick searches gave me a few things.. but not many.

I couldn't find another official post on addons.
Everything was about a radar that was illegal to show resource, it doesn't seem like a big deal to me if resources showed, because it looks like people are using 2 monitors to track themself on interactive map websites anyway.
Official Forums search:

Seen a few people asking about a DPS meter, but it was called toxic for being an elitist tool based on the limited amount of slots in wars and raids, and also some people wanting to keep the top builds a secret.
Example:

Only places i could find with addons were:
(overwolf was weird, the addons were hard to find there were no filters on the main page or category, you had to use the search coz if you didnt and you clicked one it popped out like a mobile phone ad, instead of like a support page with mod discussionsn, they only had reviews.., while im not a fan of ad popups, the search page loaded quick, tho i had to sift through other addons with the word "new" and "world" in it because NW doesn't have a category on their site, New World is not listed as supported..)

Seen plenty of discussions about needing a 2nd monitor to play NW properly with a map tracker.
And really looking at these map route minimap mods that require a 2nd monitor so i can actively track my games map without needing to open my map in game everytime, i mean.. thats a new form of elitist to me, New World needing a 2nd monitor purely for a map addon to bypass NW's weird gimped Radar rules.

That one can stream your location online

Couple of other maps that could track you in game.
Pretty much all interactive maps have an in game radar addon that you can use to track yourself on a 2nd monitors map.

I tried one of the legal radar mods.
It truly was cool to have a radar in game, altho it was clunky and had a weird delay when opening and closing other UI windows, and i needed to have Overwolf open aswell for some reason.
All it did was make me understand my surroundings better and i turned it off after 5 ish days, it kinda got in the way of things popping up on my screen.

The only other mods were some lighting tweaks, like what people do with Reshader.

^ This one looked cool, made things look crisp.
Oh and some language translator addons that change the language from English, but those are illegal for some reason and i cant link them in here.

Mod at your own risk but im pretty sure the devs don't support it so pretty good chance at a ban if you do

Game does not really need any sort of addons.

Inventory management, gear sets, better crafting ui, actually usefull TP interface... wow's best move was letting the community fix their UI mistakes. I bet they wouldnt have half the playerbase without that. Now you can argue about "combat addons bad" but you can have the former UI Fixes without the latter combat addons which means this doesnt invalidate UI Addons either way. Its just a matter of controlling what functions you give access to.

the only needed tools are the msi afterburner if you are too crazy with the nvidea profileinspector and need to get more of your tortured fans.

Yeah would be cool to see Crafting UI mods.
Like when i collapse the "Learned" the mod will have it only collapses every category within it(asif i collapsed everything within and didn't collapse the header) instead of the entire thing, it makes it annoying to get to the bottom of the list at a crafting station everytime, since it doesn't remember the last thing you did like your character has Alzheimers.

The Nvidia Inspector is interesting.

cant i add just to the game? didnt get that.
Agreed iv seen worse, but i hate comparing it to worse as the ultimate, because theyre just lists, the whole crafting tree are collapsable lists with a flashy results page.

What would be the harm in being able to mod those windows?

Add-ons are still a form of modding and Amazon doesn't like it and that's their choice even if they allowed it its still a mod at your own risk type thing
