Discord has elements of it that should be taken into consideration and possibly prevented from use. Since you mentioned it.
Teamspeak and Ventrillo did not have these assets.
There is a voice option in-game, was not in Vanilla.
Just saying Discord is not a good example to bring up at this time, though I’m glad ya did.

every1 is free to play however they want. but if they using something that kills the experience for others then its not ok. Of course Discord is more powerful , the techs we have nowadays are way more evolved than back in the days. But if you want to play on old pc or new pc its up to you. You do not damaging peoples experience.
How is Blizzard supposed to prevent any portion of Discord… an application they have no control over… from being used?
Auctioneer creates a social network of haves and have nots that literally control the entire economy of a server… what do you think is worse…
Gatherer creates a social network of Mafias that control the lucrative commodities of an entire server… what do you think is worse…
Lets ban an add on that brings people together to play the game… not ones that literally help drive the communities apart…
dosent matter, those discords, team speak, ventrillo, is essentially wourthless, since they affect a very small pool of people… they want to make something that can affect everyone, just like in retail and then automate large parts of the social networking…
and we all know how well automation of groups is in retail, your lucky if you get a hi !

The LFG addon goes against the spirit of the game entirely while gatherer simply records nodes.
Add ons that help a small group of people control the entire server economy ruins the game play experience far more than an add on that brings people together to play the game…
Either install the addon or don’t whine when you aren’t making as much from gathering without the addon.
when i saw classic news , i bought bfa and decided to play some WoW ( i played from vanilla to cata ) when i leveled up and used RDF when i joined the first group:
me: Hey guys, how are you?
guy1 : wtf is wrong with you?
guy1 : you trolling?
and much more so i gave up saying Hello to people lol

which addon?
Apples and Oranges…
ClassicLFG is not comparable to Retail because Classic Content is not Retail content…
It has already been stated… Vanilla had an automatic group finder when you clicked a Meeting Stone or Talked to an Innkeeper… it just sucked because it did not sort for rolls… that is why people did not use it…
Let’s try this again, and stop bringing up extraneous ad’hom arguments, counselor.
“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.”
The Auctioneer (or Gatherer) ADD ON does nothing outside the boundary of the above statement. If people use it to create great networks of people to control the market or the commodities, it’s NOT the ADD ON doing it. It’s the people.
Are you with me, now?
He’s trying to bring in Gatherer and Auctioneer into the argument.
I guess you are ok with a small social network of Mafias ruining the game for everyone but dont like an add on that brings people together to play the game…
Yea, its kind of sad, when people need tools to automate the process to make friends… when they could just make friends by playing wow…
but i can simply look what is the lowest price and cut it myself this addon saves around 5sec of work. How does that controls the whole economy of a server? 
Literally the whole point of the post…
Clearly you have never used an Auction House Add on…
Absolutely. We had those in Vanilla, and will have again. WIth or without Gatherer or Auctioneer.
Wrong, these add ons at least Auction House add ons are central key elements needed to control an economy…
