It’s a very well designed addon. If you end up with someone toxic in your channel you can always hop to a new one channel or just kick the person from the community. That blocks them instantly from being able to read or send any chats. In addition, the addon disables itself if it’s used on a non-RP realm.
Well… that’s good i suppose.
And they disabled how it’s supposed to function for no freaking reason.
Again, probably could be that it was breaking the ToS.
(Again, correct me if i’m wrong or looking in the wrong place here)
Clearly wasn’t.
It actually wasn’t because it was using the communities feature to work and piggy back off of something blizzard actually put into place.
Guys they’re most likely going to make a blue post about this. Let’s just wait till then.
But as Leonir said, it really does feel like a slight against anyone who wants to rp and doesn’t agree with the climate of the lore surrounding bfa. It really puts a damper on people who are faction neutral.
This is true. I have heard about the fact that the creator of the add on trying to get to the bottom of things and starting a petition to get it working again.
What’s sad is the factions are a joke at this point. Race/Faction change, servers don’t lock you to one faction or the other. They only exist as a marketing gimmick at this point. Wrecking RP over “brand image” or some BS is ridiculous and spiteful.
WARNING! WARNING! CROSS FACTION RP FUN DETECTED! BLIZZARD FUN POLICE DEPLOYED!
CROSSRP! YOU’RE UNDER ARREST FOR LETTING SOME PEOPLE HAVE FUN!!!
WARNING! WARNING! FUN DETECTED!
Sigh…
So…Roleplay of all things gets nerfed hard in 8.1.
BfA is starting to look like Blizzard’s Fallout 76 more and more every day.
@Argnohm
I used to say that BfA was the Halo 5: Guardians of the Warcraft franchise…but at least 343i has been trying to improve their game, to some degree of success.
This is next level stupid. This is advanced stupid.
Hope this addon is allowed to continue and it was just an oversight. Loved the ability to cross faction RP why only limit this to Demon Hunters and Pandaren?
And blood elves/Ren’dorei
Even then still, i personally don’t think it’s all fine as your indirectly suggesting at. Their at least got to be a few bad apples. I mean, a cross faction addon built for RPing with, it just feels like, in the wrong hands, it’s ripe for abuse, and i just thought that was reason enough why Blizzard probally broke it.
The solution to bad apples is to throw out the apples, not sew your mouth shut.
I’m sure they had a reason. Nonetheless, just use a battle-net group chat.
Sadly in this day and age of the “we know what you want” I don’t really expect them to say much of anything as to why they’re making specific changes. They can’t even bother with a small write up about “we did X, Y and Z to bring A, B and C in line”.
Yeah, that bit is really annoying. I wish they would be transparent when it comes to this sort of thing. sigh
