no bro, you’re not gettin it.
It’s using methods behind the scenes to manipulate groups.
No gaming company is gonna let anyone do that.
Especially a gaming company that already has the tech in place if they WANTED to use it.
First
LFG WAS NOT IN VANILLA IT SHOULD NOT BE IN CLASSIC…
when shown that Vanilla had an auto group function literally built into the client
BUT IT WAS IN THE GAME NOT AN ADD ON!!!
Oh Kaaaayy… then lets follow your logic and ban ALL add ons because they were not in the game…
Swing Timers
Cast Bars
OmniCast for those CC CDs
Raid Buff Add ons that automate raid buffing
Cap Timers…
I can go on and on and on…Your argument collapses under the weight of its own talking point…
Blizzard doesn’t ban mods. They restrict API features they don’t want mods abusing. The only way to break gatherer, would be to prevent mods from placing images on the map, or on the minimap.
I can tell you right now that there is next to zero chance of that happening.
listen i saw this stupid argument over and over again. Theres a topic about the Gatherer too. THOSE addons DOES NOT effect everybodys gameplay. for example how the one bag addon prevents other people from finding a group. LFG kills social interaction and prevents(making it harder) for people that doesnt use the addon to find groups.
actually it went unnoticed for the most part.
But it was in-game, not an add-on.
And not something that can work without a single command entered in the games UI. Not cool, opens way too slippery a slope.
This is a very important fact you keep missing.
and the fact that the game has an LFG tool and the devs decided against using it (so why would you think they are going to allow an addon to do it?)
Off and on. Everytime someone tries to talk to you about the topic at hand you use deflection tactics like pointing to addons that have some similarities while ignoring the point of the addon you are referencing, ignoring any logic you don’t agree with rather than refuting it, apply logic in a blanket manner ignoring context, etc.
Let me ask you what is more important The rule or the reason it exists?

wait what? i was againts this addon from day one lol
Wrong AGAIN… it literally spams /1 and invites people who whisper you the word invite… just like other add ons and macros…
it CAN ivnite people using the add on without them needing to whisper you… but then consider that they 1) use the add on 2) see my self quote…
Thank you so much for pointing this out

again people with this addon can find groups easier than people without it.
Lfg is banned??? 
There is nothing stopping a Discord group finder or an off site Group finder being set up .Blizzard doesn’t own the internet
Moreover Trolls, spammers, gold seller have become better since 2004 and without Global addon filters, you will be doomed in the communication department.
People spamming /1 with a macro and auto invite add on can find groups easier that people not doing that…
There is a huge blue post, explaining why LFG will be broken
they have said that it is not keeping in the spirit of Classic and in a few weeks after launch will fix it… I honestly think that fix is going to be nothing… or developer side changes to remove the auto invite that everyone is crying about…

Then lets make it how it was where all you can do is is spam /1 with a macro
Nobody is againts Discord , we had Ventrilo i believe what was called and Teamspeak back in the days. Discord is not an addon!
I’m totally fine with this,
I didn’t use an add-on until AQ, (guild forced me)
and really felt dirty doing it.
I’m going completely add-on free again.
From Blue post:
“when an add-on goes beyond presenting information or providing aesthetic customization, and attempts to create an interconnected social network that relies on other players also using that same add-on, we are likely to scrutinize it particularly closely.”
Auctioneer and Gatherer simply present information. They don’t do anything with it.

Discord is far more powerful than either of those Classic Era voice coms. In keeping with the spirit of Classic everyone should be forced to use Vent or TS… and CRT monitors, 3 button mice, and toaster PCs with integrated graphics cards while we are at it…
