Can we get a ban on Spy?

[Kekkity-yojamba]

Yes, except without the addon, you don’t get magical /target macros appear. You have to physically type it.

[Ziryus-doomhammer (Ziryus)]

Yes, intended as what - a dps tracker? I see no reason for this to exist for enemies not attacking you. It shouldn’t appear in your combat log at all - they haven’t engaged you so why should you be able to see “X has cast Stealth.” or “X has entered the area with Y aura.” It makes no sense that these messages appear in your combat log, unless you’re in combat with them.

Everything happening around you appears in the combat log, it always has.

[Wirt-stalagg]

oh noes! you have to type!

Seriously, you probably hate Clique too

[Sharticus-rattlegore]

it will take you out of stealth unless you have points in imp stealth. even then its only 90%, but it does not matter, the sap still is in effect.

[Kekkity-yojamba]

I don’t know what Clique is, so no comment.

Combat log parsers existed in vanilla.

They existed in forever.
Any parser can parse the combat log, always could.
How you think some guilds in vanilla were logging live realtime raids to IRC eggdrop bots?

[Wirt-stalagg]

it creates mouseover macros

[Monday-skeram]

Yikes, sorry for asking.

Wirt - you definitely used an aimbot in CoD back in the day.

[Gythriel-windseeker]

I’m not so sure of that, I have targeted stealthed people before, without the add on.

Not when they are in stealth you can not
Unless they are friendly, you can target friendlies in any state i am pretty sure, or healing would be a nightmare

[Sharticus-rattlegore]

Can you tell me the range of the combat log? I have been wondering how far it reaches for it. Is it limited to 200 yrds. What is the limit through the networking via other users?

[Wirt-stalagg]

rofl, no, that’s actually cheating

This is just providing information in a clearer venue

[Wirt-stalagg]

well, you CAN target stealthies, if you can see them, so if they are close enough to you to be detected

this video showcases stealth detection ranges

[Midiman-rattlegore]

PvP snowflakes can’t handle addons

[Sharticus-rattlegore]

I think its just the opposite really. You cannot play without crutches TIMMY!

[Trioxin-ragnaros]

good job einstein.

[Phibbus-farstriders (Phibbus)]

There’s no easy way to disable Spy’s functionality. #Nochanges aside, the fact that it would not be easy to do means you are unlikely to see it happen in classic.

[Zinqf-herod]

It’s like sports and steroids, you have to use it if your enemy is using it. That said, it’s pretty lame. @blizzard any movement on this?

Blizzard have supported sports and steroids for WoW forever. Try to use simple addons for Diablo 3 though, you’ll get ban hammered.

[Snipy-faerlina]

200 yds is already extremely limiting, and breaking networking would again, break many addons

Like what? Other than any threat, dmg, healing, etc. meters?

[Sharticus-rattlegore]

Not to nitpick, but people said the exact same thing about the LFG add on. It would break everything if it was banned. Well it was not banned but the network part was disabled. even that would help, to disable the networking in spy. But I would be happy with removing even the “stealth” from being reported in the combat log.

[Snipy-faerlina]

It wasn’t banned.
