I’m not really a retailer. I’ve barely played the last several expansions and didn’t buy BFA at all. The only time I’ve put serious investment into the game was Vanilla and TBC. MoP was fun for like a month…
This addon has been around for years. It’s no big deal.

just an FYI for people using combat log as their argument.
This mod not only alerts players, it also tells you their exact coordinates… so next time you’re questing, and all of a sudden 5 dudes come outta nowhere and know exactly where you are - they used a mod.
Why even have abilities like track humanoids if people are just gonna use this mod?

I think itl’l be a hard one the ‘break’ in-part it uses the combat log as a means of ‘seeing’ enemy players, such as missed spells/auras gained or removed. Blizz would need to hide that from players which makes things hard for Details or Recount and countless other addons. Whether its detrimental or no to the ‘classic’ experience.
But I do admit it does an incredible job of alerting. I’m sure like some other people mentioned above using WA2 to have similar functionality.
This existed in Vanilla. It was fairly popular.

they only know your exact coords if the addon detects an enemy player, and the user can post the coords, it doesnt update in realtime. the combat log argument is valid because itll break many other addons that are more useful than ‘spy’ or similar addons

blizzard could remove other non grouped player events from the combat log leaving only the current players and their groups events available (should allow dps monitors and things like that to still work)

I used to use this addon just to alert me if my “enemies” were nearby as we would hunt each other.
It was really useful and didnt detract from Wpvp at all in my experience.

A whole lot of us did the exact same thing back in the day. With the built-in filters you can make a window that shows all enemy activity around you and not need a single macro.
This addon just cleans it up for you.

Some folders with admin privileges I can’t erase without showing off my admin admin skills.
You can’t inform me of a single person you know that’s done this. I know for a fact.

Agreed. /10char
Much like lfg I dont have a major issue with it providing information, its the sharing it across the app to other players I don’t particularly like.

Anyone know why the devs designed an API that lets users do anything besides simply moving/resizing UI elements?

Player demand.
It’s been in retail for how long now? I’ve personally used it since 2013. Quit crying lol.
Gonna keep using it too.

It or a similar addon has been around since -at least- 2009.

you’re correct, now we’ll see if blizzard looks at its players
