Agreeing w/ someone’s right to do something and Agreeing w/ doing it yourself dont have to align.
For example:
I agree that people may have diff sexual pref than me.
I feel that thoes prefs are wrong for me personaly.
these are both statements that differ in opinion on the same topic while both can being true.
I’ll respond to others, but I’m gonna stop wasting my time on you.
And yet, you continue responding time and time again. Like a moth to a flame.
Not at all. I can personally disagree with something whilst acknowledging there is nothing intrinsically wrong with it.
There are lots of things in-game that can br automated, including by add-ons. Blizzard’s line on this can seem quite arbitrary, but this level of automation seems no less egregious than other accepted in-game processes.
And if enforcement is the issue, we can assume Blizzard would have taken a tougher line if they considered this an offence.
They chance stances all the time based on player base. Case in point multi-boxing broadcasting software. This was allowed for years and years… Suddenly a swing.
It sounds like your argument is that Blizzard could 180 on this for no particular reason. Which, sure, it could, I guess. Doesn’t mean that decision would be fair or good.
this specific issue hasnt been a problem until now. Like I said, it’s up to blizz to decide
fair or good? again, this addon isnt fair to the rest of us
Allowed for years and years, and allowed even still. The swing was when top tier guilds started requiring it of their members to bypass the coven system as well as multi-boxing becoming the dominant way of farming gold.
Similarly bliz changed their stance on world buffs, but not until the release of Nax when casual guilds where being peer pressured into wasting hours of time to get world buffs rather than play the game the way it was orig intended.
The swing for this “automation” you are so against is already predestined … I have named it multiple times if you had simply read. It is Velums in Wrath … and they could be implemented sooner if blizzard desired. But the problem isnt that bad, and in reality most people are being served not hindered by this “automation”. It is only a select few that claim mortal wounds and demand “justice”.
Lot of hemming and hawing to defend a chat bot that will be obsolete before next year this time. Wrath vellums and a non-existent Vanilla playerbase will see to it. It automates chat; it’s a chat bot. Blizz just doesn’t care to enforce ToS against it. No big deal
Update: received one of those “Thank you for reporting, your report lead to action against one or more players…” things in the mail for reporting one of these people
So, yea. 1 Down.
I mean, I doubt it …
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/enchanter has no people raging about getting banned … and none of the people I have given my code too have said anything. Its most likely just a canned response to placate you. Either that or a blanket response due to the ban wave over the weekend in response to a bunch of people AFKing in AV.
If you want to test it, make a horde on failina and you can report me personally … I will let you know.
There is a way u can block them in game which will automatically put them on your ignore list under block invites.
So what you’re saying is you want to see anything that doesn’t require hardware input to happen to be seen as automation and removed from the game? Which includes many other addons such as TradeSkillMaster, many WeakAuras (such as ones that auto-greed, auto-need, auto-ML loot to xy player) all because your profit margins are harmed by people who are able to deliver services faster than you can?
Leatrix Plus includes auto-invite functionality for forming groups for raid and non-raid content. Are the people forming weekly groups going to have to form the good old fashion way to keep your profit margins high?
Imagine not actually reading before replying
I get that it would be annoying but this isn’t going to change because you can’t be bothered getting the same Weakauras/addons. Either get those, change professions, or stop complaining is my best advice.
It’s not the same game it was 15 years ago and this mentality of automating everything away is the meta (in my view, to the detriment of the game but that’s another topic).
Ya’ll should really stop and actually think… think about what your saying and if you could just say the same thing about any kind of automation, like botting… “just get the same bot, cant beat em join em”
And it’s clear blizzard is listening anyway, as I posted earlier, someone I reported for that addon got suspended. So at this point, it’s not even arguement anymore.
You need to stop and actually think about what YOU are saying. If your position is that any automation using the API at all is botting then 95% of the player base is botting. Here are just a few examples from my relatively small addon collection:
Now if your stance is that auto whisper/group invite and things of this nature are just as bad as bots that actually play the game, farm 24/7, fly hack, wall hack and the like… then I would say you are way, way off.
YOU need to stop and actually read the post…
"Namely speaking about ones from public channels. "
“The line should be drawn outside PM / Guild chat (like raid invites)”
later post…
“Like I said before… you are correct, alot of stuff is automation… it’s a matter of where blizzard decides to draw the line… and I say it should be drawn here.”
Read before you speak.
So the line should be drawn in the exact place it is now apart from your singular grievance should be added to the ban list, gotcha. I am not a coder or game dev and have no idea about it at all, but I imagine it is not that simple.
Plus, could you explain to me logically why this offends you so much but not the use of TSM for using the AH? By the exact same logic I could say it is absolutely unfair (and it is) to anyone that uses the default Auction House, for me to be able to run AH scans automatically (ie. 15 items at once compared to them manually searching 15 times). Could it be that you use TSM and are therefore fine with it?
it’s clear all that’s left in this thread is trolls / morons / narcissists who distort things and ignore everything posted but what suits them and just want to argue, so ill let it die… rest of you can post and give your opinions (and have people like this argue for the sake of arguing)
Blizz will decide… oh, and already has… kbaithx
