I know this may be hard to understand for you, but… this isnt about you.
You say “no one really even cared til…” but that’s the point. That was then, this is now. And now, it’s annoying af AND unfair to others.
Method Raid tools and DBM/Bigwigs purely help people. They do not make it unfair for others.
Like I said, disagreeing with me is fine, but im telling you… your entire line of logic is severely flawed.

You’ve lost me. If its not automated, and you didn’t click their name to invite them to your group. Then how did you send them a group invite? Oh your WA did it for you…automatically…on its own…almost like its…automated…

Yes, automated … just like the “automation” of the macros you use … or half the addons you have installed.

I can see common sense, rationality, and reading arent your strong suits… but I’ll try 1 last time
- We’ve mentioned many times sure other addons do and have done some form of automation. Some get flagged some dont
- How are macros automation? You have to press a button for them… Do you not understand what automation in this context even is? I’m starting to think you did not even write such an addon. Quite frankly, you seem too stupid.

If you don’t understand how macros are in-fact a form of linear programing, and thus automation … it is you who is lacking in knowledge of this area of expertise.
If you don’t understand how the fact that I haven’t been banned for over 2 1/2 years … it is you who is lacking knowledge of Blizzards current ToS.

Lol the WoW economy is not a free market. Even in real world “free markets” or the “free-ist” ones we have there are regulations, maybe your other arguments hold true either way though, depends on Blizzard.

Not sure if trolling (?) you have to press a button to activate a macro. “your” addon does not need to have button input from a player therefore it does everything in automation.

And your point is? Its not casting a combat or non-combat ability … thus its not against ToS. Just like DBM sending a raid message or a wisper saying “you are the bomb” isnt against ToS.
People in trade are literally asking for someone to whisper them … and then their very next question is going to be “where you at”. My code just responds in fractions of a second rather than multiple seconds and also invites them to show my location. Your mad because its too efficient?
Heck, even if the automation wasn’t a thing you would still have 15+ people whispering you asking if you still needed that mongoose … it would just be spread out over a min or two rather than all at once.
Your not mad about getting what your asking for, your just shocked at the speed at which its happening because its never happened like that before. Sorry you don’t like new things?

I wonder what your point is. You did not answer my question. I believe you have no idea what you are talking about then. Have a good one lol.

I could say the same … do you have any idea what your talking about? Have you actually read the ToS? Do you know any of the rules and limitations of WoW’s api?
Maybe read again for what I have asked? You claim a macro is automation. Explain that instead of throwing topics no one mentioned?

Yes, and if you knew the ToS you would understand that a macro can infact sometimes be automation. People have been banned and api has been changed for exactly this reason.
Autorogue
Hunter 1button macro
War IWinButton
are all examples of MACROs that where forms of automation.
The one definining difference between ALLOWED automation and NOT-ALLOWED automation is using said automation on skills and abilities (specifically combat).
For me that is no automation as I still have to press atleast one button myself to do that. Maybe there is another definition for that but I doubt it is automation. If dbm whispers someone it’s the addon not the player doing anything, therefore automation… button press is not.
Does not matter though I got my answer, still confusing… however we don’t have to agree. Goodluck.
Literally nothing so specific in the ToS about that
You’re speaking completely out your butthole

Once again your reading comprehension is found to be lacking:
further definition of “automated control of a character in a Game” can be gleaned from the following API documentation:
Neither the API for chat nor the API for invite are listed as protected. Thus it is fair use at any time and thus not considered automation in the aspect of botting.
And before you pounce on the section that does say “granting you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such methods;” in 1. Cheats this historically does not pertain to APIs accessible to the player base as it would otherwise describe most if not all Addons.

You know example doesnt mean that’s the only possibility right? “automated control of a feature on the platform”
you can claim all you want about historically this and that… but even if you are right on that, doesnt mean blizzard cant or wont declare this illegal. Hello, multiboxing software ring a bell?
You are flailing, and literally nobody is agreeing with you
100% fact: It is automation.
100% fact: It is up to blizzard on what automation is allowed and not allowed.
There is ZERO rational rebuttal for this. Just, stop.
You argued your side. You’re for it, we’re against it. Move on.

Funny thing, multi-boxing is technically allowed too as long as you abide by the rules of 1 keystroke per character action … eg no key cloning or broadcasting. Many people still multibox to this day … with blizzards blessing.
Yah, cept you are wrong in your interpretations of ToS and understanding of the difference between Macros, Addons, and Botting. And because of this failed understanding, you are attempting to throw shade on people like me who are playing the game legitimately simply because it hurts your feelings.
You took to the forums to debate … im more than happy to debate.
You say im wrong … 2 1/2 years of no contact from a GM says otherwise.

I literally said multi-boxing SOFTWARE… and you know what I meant by that. Go back to your bridge and stop the trolling. It’s just pathetic at this point

And your point is? A keyboard hardware drive by its very nature is software … and its perfectly allowed as long as you abide by the 1 keystroke to 1 action ruling
