It’s a shame that people are pro-silence for announcing rares.
If you don’t want to see people using /1 to announce rares, leave the channel.
That’s been the go-to line people use on these forums for everything else, like guild spam, run sellers, etc… Just ignore it or leave the channel.
Now you have people using an add-on that only serves to help other players getting punished to the point people are uninstalling the add-ons and being told to stop being helpful and thoughtful.
Great sense of community that is…
These add-ons don’t benefit the users of the add-on, but rather other players in the zone who might be interested in killing a rare.
Nazjatar has several rares with random spawn locations, including Soundless, so a name and coordinates are incredibly helpful.
Mechagon has a few random spawn location rares and a few highly sought after rares.
Anyone who shares information like that should be applauded, not silenced. It felt like Timeless Isle again, which had an amazing sense of community when it came to rare hunting.
After seeing all the hate from a few vocal people, I’m reluctant to even manually call out a rare with a location.
So to all the players reporting people for “spamming” rare announcements, congratulations on killing what little sense of community Blizzard managed to reignite with 8.2
