Good lord this keeps popping up. I feel like Iâm seeing add Alliance High Elves as an allied race in these forums with how many times this topic has been created lol
There is basically zero chance that itâll get banned, I wonât say itâs truly zero only cause weâre dealing with Blizzard who has a long track record of bad decisions for WoW.
Itâs a little more than chat parser with a visual interface and likely doesnât even need any of the new API functionality to perform all its functions.
It includes everyone equally, even those who donât have the mod unless they opt out manually.
Most people donât even understand what it does and are just jumping on board cause their favorite streamers are pitching a fit and making videos that are gross misrepresentations of what the mod does.
It will not be banned, most of you wonât even notice it, everything is fine. Calm down.
I hope itâs not banned, this addon will make classic much more accessible to so many more people, itâs a real shame that some people are so selfish they want to take away something they wonât use from someone elseâŚ
Which is something they specifically state doesnât matter in the video around the 42 minute mark.
No, actually what theyâre saying it âJust donât use itâ isnât a good enough argument, which is literally the opposite of this and has nothing to do with what you quoted. Completely different.
If the mod automatically includes everyone unless they opt out.
The mod will LITERALLY include your spam in LFG unless you opt out of it. If you dont have the mod and say âLF1DPS for cathâ in trade or LFG it will create an entry in the mod interface that users can see.
If the mod ever sees you say â#noclassiclfgâ it will not include your messages in its parses or interface.
Itâs the new shiny. Nevermind how long itâs been available for download. It was not an issue an a streamer said it was.
This is the result of blizzâs influencer doughnut.
Notice they waited to talk about this until just before launch for maximum effect, even though that addon has been downloadable since at least the last stress test? Notice all of these new avatars, and seldom seen avatars pushing this?
Omar and Brian said in interview that any addon with any kind of automation will not be welcome in classic.
That video doesnât say what you think it does.
That addon doesnât do what you think it does.
2 wrongs donât make a right.
Citation needed.
-âSimply saying to not use it isnât good enoughâŚâ
Opting out of something because you donât wish to use it is the same thing. If I donât want to USE IT, I have to âopt out of itâ. I.E. go through a process to not use something.
-âKeep the feel of classicâŚâ It seems the consensus here and on Reddit is it doesnât keep the same feel. Which again is mentioned in the video.
With so much negative feedback about this from the community chances are good itâll get broken.
Then again Blizzard is known to do stupid things so they might ignore it.
How do you break it without also breaking a myriad of other addons that communicate in the same way? Actually pitch a âhereâs how, as a programmer, I would break this mod.â The only thing they can easily break is the auto-invite (and I think they should).
If you think negative feedback affects Blizzards plans how do you explain the MoP talent model still being in the game?
Itâs not gonna change, I know its hard for a lot of people to hear because theyâre scared the big bad add on is gonna ruin their Classic experience, but everyone just needs to settle down and find something else to be upset about.
There were a dozen different mods that had Auto-Invite. Mostly PvP oriented ones, but theyâve been around literally since just after launch.
Auto-Invite is in no way, shape or form even the most vague or remote of issues.
EDIT: We got a blue response, time to eat my hate I suppose - good news though!
And yet, itâs the only thing they can really prevent.

The sky is falling
It already uses the new API, it doesnât rely on what theyâre talking about.
When all of the negative feedback is due to misinformation. Donât get your hopes up for them to break it
iwe said this a few times now, i agree with you the addon as presented, is a chat parser and that is fine⌠BUT, that isnt the problem, the problem is the addon have the potential to do automation of social gameplay, where you essentially can set up groups with a tank, healer and three dps, all automated and automatic, and that possiblity of the addon, needs to be borkenâŚ
i just talked to the creator of the addon, you should ask him what he think of this automated possibility, thats what alot of us is againstâŚ
That is talking about character automation, not invite automation. There used to be mods that could put the most appropriate skill under your cursor for basically any situation.
They are not in any way referring to the functionality of this mod and it blows me away that anyone could get so confused as to think they are.
