New Stealth Tracker Add-On, Worse than Spy

Hey Everyone.

I’ve noticed there is some kind of new add-on or script that is making spy look tame. Does anyone know what it is?

I have now had multiple people follow me in stealth from over 50-75 yds away, sometimes even 100 yds (max rendering distance off). Fully in stealth.

I am not one to complain. I dealt with spy and let it be, and although I found it to be agaisnt the spirit of vanilla, but that’s not the debate here. This one seems to be a legitimate deal breaker.

There is already an abuse of a pet macro in which pet classes can send pets on you from a massive range, even after you stealth or vanish. I have master of decept 5/5, heightened senses and catseyes goggles, and even catseyes pots. There is no way people are following me at these distances.

I have now had numerous people (although it seems to be hunters most often) this last few days legit lose me in a chase after I kill and vanish, then find me 100-300yds away in a building well hidden in various cities. no debuffs, no hunters mark, nothing other than me actually losing these people then having them run straight to me in the most improbable of places. I have been testing different areas and it’s always the same, they somehow run straight to you in the most random location. The fact this is being done over and over in various settings shows it’s in no way random.

Different people, different situations, different areas, but always a seemingly impossible find, even after they initially lose you. I have never encountered this before this last week or so. This is not spy, because spy was entirely different, it was alerting people to when i was nearby. This is actually allowing people to know my exact location wherever I am in stealth regardless of circumstance.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Sally: “And then he used a new spy addon to find me online and that was the last straw.”
Mac: “Oh, my God, that’s disgusting! A new spy addon? Where? Where did he find that addon?”
Sally: “I don’t know, one of those disgusting addon sities.”
Mac: “Ugh, those disgusting addon sites. I mean, there’s so many of them though! Which one?”

This is the way it was in vanilla, and working as intended. My pet chasing always stopped on vanish, though not out of combat stealth/prowl. If it was already engaged in melee on the target, it pulled it out of vanish about 50/50 of the time, probably depending on where its attack animation was at.

My hunter friend and I will go around IF and see rogues on the Minimap from crazy far away.

Track hidden, Engi googles, Cats Eye Elixir, and if we have a Warlock its game over for even rogues in improved stealth.

I understand the restealth part but i had a hunter pet auto me out of stealth after 10 seconds. No goggles on hunter. Didnt get flared out. No Hunter mark. No Dots that knocked me out of stealth. I vanished and sprinted away and sat down to regen some health. Pet comes up10 seconds later and just autos me. I dont think thats intended

I was in combat. (Trying to remember the exact circumstances i believe i had initially been flared out of stealth. I sprinted out of flare, hunter marked me i vanished and still had about 10-12 seconds of sprint.) Im assuming the vanish had worn off but i was well out of normal range from the hunter. His pet attacked me a good 3-4 seconds before the hunter himself was even in range to shoot me.
