Yeah, you guys keep saying that, but you’ve yet to explain exactly how…

combat log data for units not in combat or raid/party with you could be protected and not available to addons.
scroll up and READ. i have given a lot of scenarios.
you need an addon to read it for you maybe? RING RING RING
No, you’ve given examples of how a rogue runs into a fight or stands around like a moron when someone knows he’s nearby.
Absolutely, it could be, and Blizzard probably should do that.
And that would be a reasonable solution unlike the idea of banning a specific addon.
It was there.
Stop lying. Thanks.
so far every forum post you make is “stop lying”
you have other words in your vocabulary aswell?
the addon existed but it wasnt as working and advanced as it is now,
whats even better, the addon didnt work properly for the majority of the players because of a list of errors with just basic addons they used back in the day.
lets put this into numbers to make you have a chance of understanding.
vanilla 5-10% of the playerbase used the addon and got it to work,
game breaking? no not really as you probly wouldnt run much into anyone using it. if it even worked properly wich was a huge issue back then.
classic 80% of the playerbase use the addon, (and its 100x more advanced now)
game breaking? yes !
because 8 our of 10 players have it ! and its working!
so i can already sense your next answer, (yes my spider sense is tingling)
“YOUR LYING !!!8888!”
now, your existance is a lie, im a lie, everything is a lie and your delusional.
dont tell anyone or they’ll think your crazy.
Right now in its nerfed form it’s really not a big deal…
I would start reading all posts again.
I only state that when it’s obvious. It would be wise for you to just admit it, then telling even more bollox on the forum.
Back then there were less ristrictions on the API, and it could even do way more then this little addon.
Now get your facts straight the next time.
Thanks.
Not only the older api had no restrictions but the addons could do more,just the knowledge in doing it wasnt that wide spread.
There was no need for the 50y nerff but hey.
People already cry how its awful with the nerff regarding the simple fact people will get now a notification that you are in the 50y range…sigh.One unending rabbit hole this discusion.
you should read the patch notes on this addon from 2005.
it dident even have a window with names popping up untill the 3-4th update on the addon.
the addon barely worked for most players.
stop talking sh*t
Eh no.
Paranoie was there and alot of other addons.
Stop being a scrub, acting asif you played Vanilla.
You never did, and will never get the same exp aswell.
That’s how sad you are.
Funny to see how you neglected all other points on my post.
Newbs these days.
i was r14 on vanilla AQ. 
these addons where so broken during this time not even 20% of the playerbase actually used them.
and you can go through the log of updates on the addon from back in the days
it wasnt as powerfull as SPY not even as close.
classic dont need 19 year old boys, go back to retail.
Complaining about it after the nerfs (which were warranted, but very severe) seems excessive.
The addon has little to no impact now.
so why do ppl still need it?
if it has no impact its good to remove it, nobody cares if it gets totally banned right?
Correct.
Post must be at least 10 characters.
then its only a matter for the community to just let this addon go, get it banned (just like the LFG addon)
and everyone happy, even the ones using it.
Soo, how do you get it banned btw?
Afaik Blizz™ doesn’t ban addons. They break the parts of the API that the addon was using.
In this case they lowered the range of the normal combat log, which broke spy.
In order to nerf it further they’d have to reduce the combat log range more or remove the enemy portion of the combat log entirely.

The best solution to break it would be to hide data not related to anyone in your raid or party, pet and target from the combat log.
