Everything I listed falls under the “if they wanted to have that thing, they’d have added it.” The reason players were given access to the API is so we could add functionality that wasn’t default. Some of these things were later broken like Decursive, because it was only a matter of time until a mod that did far more became widespread (and they existed, literally allowing players to one-button mash their entire optimal rotation or instant CC in PvP without effort).
I Leveled in BfA then real life took over, I play lower level characters right now and I’m waiting for Classic.
I did keys in Legion no problem without any sort of addon. OQueue etc. were used by many and many thought that was the only way to get groups and it was stupid as it was a crap addon.
Sorry but I don’t need a special group addon to get groups, I need to be me and be good at what I play and then I get groups usually from guild or friends list.
It doesn’t undermine fundamental interaction. You having a boss mod doesn’t impact the basic way people communicate or interact with each other in the game.
Neither does this add-on. You’re still supplying a chat channel with a pre-formatted message for others to respond to. oRA had auto invites and other automated replies and responses, as do any number of RP mods. You’re not making your case at all.
They won’t go back to the 1.12 API because it’s so much more powerful than the “bells and whistles from retail”. The current Classic addon API can’t do a fraction of the things that the Vanilla API could do.
I found this for you! Patch 8.1 and Cross-Faction Roleplay “Unfortunately, with Patch 8.1, all addons are now blocked from reading or processing any data from community chat channels”
Don’t need to sift through some shat addon when I’ll be running dungeons with my guild and friends. Plus it literally takes minutes to get a group together lol
You only read the title didn’t you? The mod specifically handles cross-faction chat data for translation purposes. That’s not the same thing as posting things to chat, or re-skinning the chat into a new UI.
