Reasons spy addon needs to be broken immediately

[Fasciae-fairbanks]

Using it gives stealthed players coordinates. This can be used with TomTom to mark your mini map of the stealthed players last known location.

Wrong right out the gate. Spy gives the coordinates of the Spy user, not the detected player. Spy has no means of pulling enemy coordinates as the API call for location is protected for all but self, party members, and raid members. Additionally, there is no call for distance measurements, these are done manually with the distance formula we all learned in Algebra using two sets of coordinates (which we do not have). Furthermore, the Combat Log cannot determine distances for any event, nor can it determine direction based upon your character, and the Combat Log’s maximum range can be altered and Spy doesn’t check for this either.

In short, you’re wrong.

Warlocks/hunters are able to target a stealthed player, and without the stealthed player being visible send in their pet to attack.

This is standard pet behavior from Vanilla. If you were not in Stealth at the time the pet class sent their pet to attack you, the pet will find you even if you Stealth after the fact unless you out range the pet class to force the pet to despawn or leash.

Using player interation, you can target a stealthed player and auto run to their last known location.

You cannot target people that cannot be seen. This is false.

However, you can click-to-move with interact-with-target on VISIBLE targets in order to make your character move to that location and attempt to interact with the target as if you right-clicked on them. This function is limited in that when the game sends you off, it does not update automatically. If you, the not stealthed targeted player, simply hit Stealth and move away, the player won’t continue to follow you, they’ll simply go to where you were when they clicked the macro.

The addon does not only simply parse combat logs to detect players, but also detects changes to player auras, this is indicated by some of the api calls the addon uses. This makes actions done while stealthed such as applying poison give away your position.

This is false. These auras are flagged as hidden because of the persistent aura of Stealth. If the action doesn’t break Stealth, it won’t show on the Combat Log.
