When you walk into an enemy faction’s town or city or even res inside it will ping people, warning them of your presence. not only that, but they can use the addon to target you. Hunters or Warlocks can use this to send their pets after you even if you are hidden in the most ridiculous places. They don’t even need to know where you are.
How is this OK?
You are no longer able to fool around at enemy faction’s locations because of this addon. It literally removes a way to have fun for some people.
See, spy is the biggest killer for me, in any other game, knowing where you enemy is without them being in a clip distance would be considered cheating.
Grats on creating the exact same thread that’s been shot down with logic about 1000 times now. But go on you special people you, demonize something you have no clue about.

There’s already a thread about Spy, with almost 650 posts (so not exactly reasonable to expect anyone to read through them all), but so far you’re the only one to bring up a fairly solid point against it.
So grats on that!
Doesn’t magically win pvp for you, like most of you seem to believe.
Still have to click to target who you want from it and if they are in stealth, you cant target them.
Still have to use your eyeballs to locate the target.
Cant see through line of sight, unless you use another addon (nameplates) and even then nameplates is a max 20 yards.
Need I go on?
I think you need to go on, because nobody said ANYTHING about spy addon letting you win pvp.
you can target them. The names of your enemies appear on a big log in the middle of your screen. This name you can /target.
If you have a pet then you don’t need to use your eyeballs, because after targetting the player you can send your pet after them.
p.s. It wont just flag people near you, they have to do something that will show in logs, so if they just run up to you without activating anything, its still possible to surprise people with it, the range is not infinite, much as you like to all pretend it is.
In order to send a pet you still have to catch stealth class’s out of stealth with the pet attack macro and that’s if your a hunter or lock.
You people clearly don’t use it on a regular basis. I notice you didn’t answer any of the other points I raised.
the addon also tells you when stealth player stealths. The amount of times i’ve randomly dismounted and refreshed ice barrier when i saw that notifaction is uncountable. A mage that gets sapped by rogue without barrier up is pretty much dead
