OK so first you were saying Quest Helper would let people “adventure” because it would have them 100 percent the zone, now your saying that won’t always be the case because sometimes they’ll use it to go super hard core speed leveling mode. This is getting silly. We’re not discussing every possible case of how quest addons will be used, but rather how they’ll most commonly be used and I think we both know that will be to fully complete a zone with as little effort as possible and then move on since that’s how it’s done in retail now.
This point was already covered as well. There is big difference between auto piloting by following gps coordinates and big arrows everywhere, and auto piloting a game because you know it’s every nook and cranny. One is earned through playing the game and paying attention to it and the other is from an addon.
No, it’s a fair comparison specifically because you keep harping about whether if I’d know if someone used an addon or not. Just because you can’t tell if an addon is being used or not doesn’t mean it can’t be harmful. Also Blizz has fully embraced LFG tech but doesn’t want it in classic, so why not the same stance for quest helper addons?
And who is to say they wouldn’t enjoy the game even more if they actually read the quests and didn’t rely on cheesy addons?
WE’ll do that soon as you shut down wow head.

And you’re argument is “this is too hard so why bother” Yeah that sounds about right for your average republican voter.
it would make little impact on that front. there is already step by step web based guides that would easily circumvent that. 
you can try but you cant really remove 15 years of knowledge.

All this preaching about and rigid enforcement of “community” -
Isn’t.
yep, confirmed, quest tracking addons have no place in classic.
LOL I think not. Questing/leveling add-ons do not affect YOUR gameplay in any way, nor the OP. The LFG addon had a profound potential effect on everyone, therefore it is slated to be broken. No matter what BS you and all who are in favor of this can come up with to justify it, it is NOT game breaking and as far as immersion goes, you can’t even tell who is using it and who isn’t so that’s not even an issue. Like you and everyone who agrees with the OP, you are all just control freaks and are salty that LFG got shut down so now it’s about killing ALL add-ons since you couldn’t have that one.

doesn’t matter, read the blue post. if quest tracking was compatible with classic they would not have removed modern quest tracking from the client.
Uh huh…and where in that blue post does it say ANYTHING disabling quest tracking API?? That post was in reference to LFG and similar add-ons that deal with auto-grouping. Grouping=/=Quest tracking

the post was in reference to lfg addons, but it applies to all addons.
Ultimately, if a “quest tracking” system was something we considered compatible with Classic, we would have kept the modern “quest tracking” tool rather than choosing to remove it from the Classic client.
“When an add-on goes beyond presenting information or providing aesthetic customization, and attempts to create an interconnected social network that relies on other players also using that same add-on, we are likely to scrutinize it particularly closely.”
Did you even read the same blue post? All the quest helper does is provide more information. Its not out there auto walking you to your quest objective or completely doing the quests for you(you know like bots) you still have hold w or turn your mouse, you still have to right click on mobs.

Quest tracking was in vanilla hello? Does no one remember the addon quest helper? That addon is ancient and was developed in vanilla.

LOL you just transposed quest tracking for group-finding and copy pasted part of the blue post. Now I just KNOW you are trolling

yes, because that quote can be applied to any and all addons.
it’s in the modern client.
they removed it from the classic client.
ultimately, that means it is not compatible with classic.
What? No they reversed a modern feature they put into retail because everyone was using a quest helper. Which btw was in vanilla.

doesn’t matter, if the system was compatible they would have kept the modern system.
they removed quest tracking from the client, therefore an addon to simulate quest tracking should not be allowed.
You sir/ma’am, are an absolute moron. That statement does NOT apply to all addons unless there is a blue post that gets posted stating that. YOU are not a Blizzard/Activision employee, therefore regardless of what you may think/believe, it is NOT law in-game

How does that make sense? There trying to replicate classic, everything they took out from the modern client wasnt apart of the classic base ui, you know like a quest helper or ilvl and so on. Quest tracking was in classic, it was a api function.
