It has in the past, do you have an example?
uhm… I don’t want to get banned but… you can automate some stuff that I didn’t think was possible until a cute little WA popped up on grob that gave me ideas. Did a little test on an alt account just in case the robot police want to ban me and yup it works. its kinda a copy-cat thing… that’s all ill say.
Effectively this allows for true automation to a point.
Macros allow true automation. “Cancel current casted ability… then cast this” Instead of human interaction to press escape and then press the keybind for the next ability.
Weakauras are macros for WoW’s API which if you started binding API calls to hardware events, then you risk breaking addons that don’t fall under the definition of automation.
Well the general rule has always been that if it’s doable within solely the in game scripting allowed it’s okay. Blizzard will break the scripting API if they feel it’s going too far.
Weak auras is technically not doing anything that is beyond any other add on, it is however pretty powerful because of how easily it lets people add on share functionality on the fly in game without having to download.
Nice bait.
Generally but they still have not eliminated the WA follow.
Its not possible for weak auras to go to “far” to the point of bannable. When they do subjective things they are broken. When this has happened players haven’t been banned as they stayed in the rules of the time.
It is possible to use outside tools to make weak auras go to far but this is not the weak aura going to far its the outside tool. Which for example the hunter melee weaving weak aura is legal and legit using Auto hot key to read the weak aura to send inputs thou is bannable as your not making a keystoke a program is that is in fact the definition of botting.
blizzard is presently banning players for using WA that auto follows.
It wouldn’t be the first time blizzard has banned people for playing within the parameters of the game. If it’s fully automating or simulating multi-boxing i’d be careful, they have been known to draw parallels to things they have explicitly banned (multiboxing software) with addons/weakauras. Usually they will say something and break it before any bans go out though, usually…
In this situation its been something the bot booster are using for their “Clients”
The weak aura itself is not the reason try again.
The reason is due to you having outside sources triggering the weak aura. You are quite allowed to use a weak aura to set follow so long as YOU are the one doing it, and a keystroke happened not a outside source (lacking a keystroke on your end). In this case someone elses chat message. As that is no different than a program doing it you lack the one keystroke per action which is how botting is defined. If the weak aura sent a message to you telling you to click and a massive pop up happened on your screen before typeing /follow if you click it the weak aura would be legal even no nothing was changed on what the weak aura is doing other than adding a click from your side. The having a click is the key element to make it not fall under botting rules and multiboxing rules due to “brodcasting” keystrokes.
As such they are being banned due to software based multiboxing (dosen’t matter if its not you controlling both accounts falls under same rule) as well as the botting rule sets which are a completely different thing than using a weak aura.
Is the weakaura on wago . io? If yes can you share the name of it? This thread is pretty pointless without some more detail on exactly what you’re talking about, especially with such a clickbait title.
“HAS WEAKAURA GONE TOO FAR? no i won’t tell you about what…”
No, and I have no idea who made it. Its not clickbait, its just the facts without gettin myself banned.
You are allowed to discuss what a weakaura does without getting banned. Relax.
So, what EXACTLY does it do that has you so upset?

Hard to believe your “facts” when you have already shared fake news above claiming the autofollow weak aura is getting people banned its not, them breaking the botting rules (one keystroke per action) and multiboxing rules (no software broadcasting keystrokes) has nothing to do with the weak aura use as the weak aura is doing nothing that breaks rules how its being used dose, massive diff.
Actually is getting people banned.
Its clear you don’t want to have a discussion, and are too heavily invested into the WA system, good day.

Its not you can look at the convos posted on redit about this with gms and look at the quoted reason. Each time “botting” or “multiboxing” is the cited reason.
But do delude yourself all you want. You are only discrediting yourself. If you wanted to have a real convo you would be posting exact examples as that is the fundamental thing to having a convo. While if you wanted to claim people where getting banned from a weak aura some source showing that would be required.
Can you give a hypothetical example of what a non-existing weak aura might do then?
The only example I can think of is as mentioned above the hunter melee weave weak aura but that one is completely legit the interaction with auto hotkey is not thou.
well this one is interesting, you can make it copy anything you do; and anyone with the same WA will then duplicate the action. Starts off as a cute simon says kinda thing, and turns quickly into a monster.
Yes this does make MB possible though WA.
