I was wondering if addons like GSE - gnome sequencer are allowed for all players to use, this addon is available on curseforge.com and it seems almost like cheating, it does your rotation for you and lets you focus mainly on mechanics. I got this from a well known streamer and i am sure most people who stream are using this in conjunction with a few other addons that are 100% illegal. I just wanted to how blizzard feels about these addons ? Is the game dying out now so you just don’t care? I want to have an answer so I know if everyone starts using this they will or wont get banned, i could name people off who 100% use this addon and some others who make their living off pretending to be good when its just an addon playing the game for them and people think its is skill… please answer blizzard. the addon can be found on curseforge and the macros even have a site www.wowlazymacros.com automating this with an autofire mouse, joystick, keyboard makes it so you dont even have to press the button anymore u can just hold it down and let it cycle through every abliity you have if you want… before i start to use i need to know if its illegal or not. huge advantage.
Oh gracious, where to begin.
You will never have a Blue give a hard yes or no to any add-on. They are all use at your own risk. From the sound of it though, it does seem like one that will get you flagged hard and fast.
They’re not exactly bastions of all knowledge.
Is anyone else tired of hearing this, be it as an excuse or anything else? The game isn’t dead yet, and trying to presume it’s ready for burial is kind of foolish, since it’s still going pretty strong, no matter the fluctuation of players and all of that.
You will not get one. A good rule of thumb will always be one key stroke = one action. Past that, everything is use at your own risk. Yes, it can be vetted on Curseforge and all of that, but any add-on can be warped into something outside of what it could/should be used for.
No matter what ‘everyone’ else is doing, this personally sounds pretty fishy to me all around. I welcome any others to say otherwise, but yeah. I wouldn’t touch this thing so long as I’d choose to continue playing.
Also, for clarification. This forum is one for players to assist other players. There are no GMs, Devs, QA or anyone else of the like. Our Blues are SFAs, and you’re never guaranteed a response from them.
If an addon resides only inside the wow addon folder, then it can only do what Blizzard allows it to do.
However, you also mentioned macros and automation software. For macros, if people are making macros outside of the game because they cannot be made using the in-game macro system, then those macros absolutely can get you into trouble.
Automation of any kind, including autofire/rapid fire mouse software will also land you with a suspension or even account closure.
So the addon itself, likely is okay as long as each action requires a press of a button and only one action takes place.
Tacking on - good bloody grief. You certainly were thorough, if nothing else. I’d be careful of spamming as you’ve kind of done. You’ve hit, what. Five or six forums with this exact post?
yea i want an answer…
Blizzard has never given one on the stance of specific add-ons. You’re going to get player opinions, and nothing more. If you feel like there is something illegal going on, you’re best to right-click and report a player or submit the information to hacks@blizzard.com
no no lei im not that petty im not doing it to destroy anyone im doing it so i know if can use it or not. As i said multiple rank 1 classes in arena with this addon… so of course i want to use it too just seems too good to be true or legal…
I feel like maybe Leilleath is one of the people using it … no harm in getting opinions either… if anyone has been using this for long time without issues please let me know .
Please don’t spam the forums.
As mentioned, we do NOT green-light programs we don’t make ourselves, nor endorse their use. If something is capable of doing something the in-game system cannot - I wouldn’t use it.
…How on earth do you even come up with that? I don’t go hardcore into PvP or PvE, and that’s just ridiculously slanderous for someone you don’t even know. Everything I’ve done I’ve done without any of that mess.
Ok i wont spam, but is giving others knowledge regarding this addon illegal? why suddenly did i get a blue post for something that aparently you never comment on … i think i hit a nerve…
I really haven’t commented on it.
Just common sense - and basic rule of thumb for anything like this. If it does something the in-game systems don’t allow, it’s always a risk.
They commented to drill in what has been stated here already. Don’t spam, and if it’s too good to be true, then it usually is.
And our SFAs are not GMs or Devs, they can provide information and insight, but you’re still not going to get a green light.
