So they have a weak aura

To name and shame those who use one button macro ?

Is this harassment.

Dorki said it on his twitch chat. That he is going to name and shame.

When I asked him if he thinks it is harassment he never replied.

So why do have a weak aura that tracks this and opens door for toxicity ?

Why would blizzard release a function that allows more players to play a chill game while allowing this toxic bs ?

Can’t say if this is true or not but it is 100% no one’s business if you’re using a one button rotation or if you’re a leet mmo mouse jockey.

Blizz needs to make it so this can’t be determined if it’s somehow out there.

Who? :person_shrugging:

Anyway, report them and block them and move on with your life.

I think anybody that feels the urge to name and shame based on the one button rotation is pretty much a scumbag. They are absolutely the lowest form of human and really should just be dropped on an island somewhere and left with other people like them. There’s nothing wrong with people using a tool created by the development team to help improve their DPS. If anything, everybody should be bowing down and kissing the the biggest ring on blizzard‘s hand for actually helping tape people who were doing crap damage and putting them closer to the 70 to 90 percent range. You literally are not having to hard carry anybody anymore and people aren’t using it in mythic plus so I don’t see what the problem is.

dont need a weak aura tbf. if the person pulls off ~20% less than what youd expect you know what’s going on :wink:

if a blue balance post said “x class blanket nerfed -20%” everyone would lose their mind… but they happily turn on 1br tho… funny heh

I insta unfollowed him on twitch when he clearly said - he is going to “name and shame” anyone who uses 1 button macro.

He also marketed the weak aura.

When I asked him would that to be harassment. He never replied but his 100 sheep followers were happy

I downloaded it and am queueing for LFR now to see how it works.

I suspect it’s probably better to forget about people you unfollow than to open threads to talk about them.

But wouldn’t Blizzard be the reason for this grief ?

I use one button macro for prot pala.

100% uptime on shield.
100% uptime on consecration.

Like I can do it without it as well but now I am able to focus on lot of other things. When I know that it will use judgement, hammer and shield on cool down.

So who is dorki and who the weak aura creator to grief me.

They are only relevant cause blizzard allowed them to do it.

So why did blizzard do this ?

How on earth is that nobody’s business? The game is multiplayer

Addons like this are fine, why would anyone want to play with someone using 1 button rotation at the high end

The only downside is people using it at the lower end where it doesn’t really matter

I saw a video about it. I doubt it will be something many would care enough to download. Even though I never used it, I support those who feel the need to use obr.

Imwhy should it be anyone’s business what I do ?

There are so many hackers who use all sorts of things. Is it my business to police them or is it blizzards job ?

So why exactly is it the weak aura creator to take this up on him ?

Because your performance effects the success of the players around you

OBR is designed to give you less performance

It’s actually really simple

As soon as they get rid of the hooks that allow any addons to track inputs at all, it’ll be gone. And that’s not even a matter of “if” they do that, it’s just a matter of “when” they’re pulling the plug on external tracking.

By the same token, anyone with eyeballs and enough care can watch you do your rotation at reduced GCD speeds. It’s relatively obvious between that and the actual rotation priority, which is a set order without any regard for mechanics. The weak aura just automates what people will be doing with their eyeballs all the same.

Report for whatever you want to call it and ignore the player. Blizzard will handle the rest if it’s anything that they actually consider a problem.

No one in high end content is one button rotation.

What an interesting statistic, care to link?

I don’t need to. If you can use one button rotation and successfully complete the content, it’s not high end.

Tell that to blizzard.

My question is why did blizzard allow a mechanic and then leave a door open for toxicity.

Are you telling me now that this 1 button macro is not going to help handicapped players like literally bump their SR ?

What I am asking is. Did blizzard not see this though ?

Yes 1 button macro using is bad but it is also
Convenient.

So who gave the weak aura creator all this power to show who uses what ? That is blizzards data not his ?

Multiple streamers have done title keys with OBR

It simply just makes one player do less dps, a group that can time a 21 can time a 19 with 1 player doing less dps

Is a 19 not high end?

The problem is in the question, I don’t think getting kicked for using OBR is “toxic”

Players should be able to chose who participates in their groups, we can see talents, gear, rating, etc.

A combat mode that instantly deletes a huge chunk of your dps is pretty important
