Doing so often causes many things they do want to work to not work also, so no that is not a fix or a solution.
They prevent this kind of thing by making rules which they have that are rather clear one keystroke one action which is not happening here. While further is using software to send a command to another account another rule that have clearly set as a no no that this is doing.
Just so we’re clear, you’re saying an in-game addon is against the rules and warrants a permanent ban, yes?
No dint at any time say that.
Addons are legal how you use them may not be massive diff.
You are not permitted to use an addon or software to broadcast a command to another account in your case follow than have another account take action on that. This was added to the rules awhile back.
You are further not permitted to use addons the allow more than one action per input eg is using this to have multi chars all type follow at once is more than one action from a single input.
Yes breaking clear and known rules do warrant a perm ban.
So basically you think the current API is set up such that exploitative behavior can take place, yes? In a game API that has been developed over the last 20 years.
Furthermore, you would posit that instead of protecting the exploitative Lua functions, they would instead just ban people but keep the Lua functions totally accessible to addon developers.
That is what you’re saying yes?
Yes it is set up in a way it can take place. As there is many legit uses for it set up that way and blocking all possible ways to expoilt it would cause many of those legit ways to not work. Making many usefull tools for players not breaking the rules to not work.
What matters in the end is never if you can do something but is it legal to do. It is no different than I can go and download a movie and sell 3000 Copy’s dosent make it not illegal to do so.
The rules are clear you are not allowed to broadcast commands with software to another account. While you further are not allowed multi actions from one input these rules are known and have been for a long time in fact one of the two going back to when the game first released. The other being recently and made big news so hard to miss.
If you pick to break the rules yes should accept your punishment. Just since you can do something dosent make it right just like being able to prevent something dosent mean they should. There is a cost to everyrhing. In this case your cost of breaking the rules is a ban.
This is the only important part of your reply. Thank you for writing this.
No the important part is adding to your psa that even since you claim some bans where retracted without reason it is still at best a grey zone and much more likly to be in the not permitted area hense your bans and as such even if some might get retracted wouldent expect them to be. A vary important thing to be clear of unlike your post that makes it sound like it’s only sketchy vs having clear rules that outline it as not allowed so you are taking a massive risk to do so.
This just in. Using in-game addons is a risk, don’t do it.
That’s not news in fact blizzard themselves have openly posted that. They outright tell people addons themselves are legal but how you use them may or may not be.
Are you new.
Appreciate the heads up. Big yikes on Blizz though for perma banning before giving a warning.
Absolutely braindead, so in other words pretty standard blizzard behaviour
Cool, link said statement then because i think you’re full of it
You also dont seem to grasp the difference between using a 3rd party program and using blizzard’s own API, entirely through their OWN game client
Are you dumb
You mean the vary stance and statments that have been said every time they have broken a addon for doing to much or after mass bans. Hell look at gnome macros that have existed for a long time but have resulting in quite a number of bans and blue posts warnig use with care. One of many examples you can find quite a number with a simple search it’s not uncommon for blizzard to post and warn about doing to much with your addons.
Also will note gnome is also doing exactly what you claim don’t know about uaong there own games addons not third party programs to do more than what the in game default up can do.
Again that is a third-party program, one which operates outside the confines of the game client and the addon API. You seem to be having trouble understanding the distinction.
GSE isn’t a third party program as far as I know? It’s an in-game addon?
No it’s not gnome is a addon that works entirely within wow like any other addon you should learn about the subject before making a claim.
So now you’re saying that GSE is an addon that breaks the rules of the game
No I’m not learn to read.
Gnome dose not break the rules of the game but you most def can use it in ways that do and has resulted in bans.
Do keep showing your lack of ability to understand the exact reason you are banned there are legal ways to use addons and there are illegals ways.
That blue post was pointing at the same it’s not illegal to use gnome and there is a few blue posts saying that but there is also many cases of bans abs blue posts for using it in ways not allowed.
But with that I’m off to bed. As going in a circle at this point.
The problem with your logic here is that you’re essentially saying that at one point in WoW’s lifetime, Blizzard expected 12 million people to use addons nicely instead of just protecting the lua to disallow exploitative behavior.
Blizzard is absolutely ignoring this game about as bad as any gaming company can, but they’re not stupid when it comes to actually developing the tools within, especially considering the Lua API has been in development for 20 years.
I heard an equally unconvincing story once about some forbidden fruit. I can tell you it was also a pile of BS.
