its blizzards job not mine to figure out how to do such things, they get pay’d for it after all i dont.
but yea theres probly more then 1 method to break the addon, for them to figure out tho wich ones best for the game.
never expected classic to blow up like this because of one addon tho.
can only admit that im less enjoying classic now while the addon still available
and its pretty clear just looking at the forum’s that im not the only one.
This would hide all buffs and debuffs from all non-party/raid targets.
Yea they should be completely hidden even from hostile targets unless detect magic is up. Currently ClassicAuraDurations are a must.
Welcome to vanilla.
It was in game in 2004/5/6 aswell and you keep on about classic but you keep on calling people kids and retail players its hardly befitting of the classic community to be so toxic .
People share your view but be more polite about it and know the addon been about atleast 14 years.
you seem to not read the entire thread.
this addon was in the game but it was mainly broken, to a point 90% of the playerbase couldnt actually use it because of lists of errors with their other basic addons.
the classic community isnt benefitting from me being nice or not anyways.
im correct and ill tell it fair and square,
if you think such addon belongs in classic 2019 then you belong in retail.
retail where theres thousands of addons and the game changes so fast you can do whatever u like and never interact with a player ever again.
this addon goes against everything that screamed vanilla no changes.
You didnt read my post at all else you would know the answer and please stop telling players to leave classic and insulting them it helps nobody at all thank you .
And calling people retail players and kids isnt fair its impolite nothing more .
I have played since 2004 on US servers and from 2005 on EU .3
As an alliance player this add-on allows me to dot one of the 82726 gankers jumping me every 12 seconds pretty much everywhere. All good .
I tried to read the entire thread but I felt my IQ decreasing with every post I read by you.
Similar addons existed in vanilla. Any rogue with an ounce of skill could easily play around spy (it’s not like it let’s you see through stealth like some people would like you to believe). But now Blizzard broke it and every other addon that relied on the combat log. We did Onyxia yesterday and as a ranged dps I couldn’t even see the tank on the threat meter. All cause Rogues had it oh so bad in wpvp. Pussies.
The op is either a troll or cant use a basic search function on a forum.
Spy cant see through stealth, it only lets you know someone stealthed nearby.
The stealth class still has the full control over when to initiate combat.
Track humanoid lets you see where people are with a red blip on the map. Spy does not.
There were other mods back in the day that did the same thing as spy.
Pretending its somehow game breaking is beyond funny.
But as 90% of the people QQ ing about spy are druids or rogues, I really don’t give a toss.
LoL Blizzard owns the game code. They could break all addons that exist for WoW if they wanted too. Why would you think it would be hard for Blizzard to remove a addon?
Good question. You think the answer might lie in how the nerf to combat log distance affected more than a single addon…? 
I’m sure they can break all addons. But how do you break only ONE addon?
+1
Exactly.
/who
Do also tell you if a Rogue or Druid is in the given zone. Stealthed or not. You can also specify levels searches. But he sounds to Twitchy to even have thought of that.
He must be trolling or just have a hard time sitting atm -with all that pain in is butt.

And complaining about Spy addon… Thats cute. 
why is it only retail players who never broke the magic barrier of 1500-2000 rating who justify this addon?
oh i think i know why 
cant compete without cheats.
I ran around epl and feralas for a few hours today with the now nerfed Spy. It really doesn’t seem overpowered to me anymore. There is still some useful things about it, like warning me when someone went stealth near me, but overall it didn’t affect gameplay much. It no longer prevented me from being surprised like it used to.
I would still prefer that were no warning addons like this but it’s not nearly the monster that it used to be. Before I was comparing it to the automation addons of Vanilla in terms of power but now it doesn’t seem particularly special compared to other current addons.
alerting when somebody stealths near you is a bit gamebreaking still right.
you shouldnt know this if you didnt spot this yourself.
and im sure its MORE gamebreaking for those guys stealthing near you, then for you.
i can agree on you its “better” but its not solved tho.
i think its fair for EVERYONE, to just let this addon go and get it removed from the game entirely.
but its not fair for everyone allowing such a cheat.
Well my main is a Rogue so I’d say that it is about even in my particular case
I’m not sure if removing it completely is a realistic expectation. It might not be possible to do cleanly without breaking many other addons in the process. I’m sure that further nerfs are doable but a complete removal seems unlikely.
