Sorry been ganked too many times of late by rogues on rp pvp. But clearly my spy addon must save me each time… Nope.

If you wouldn’t lack imagination you could have easily understand it is the same situation with the exeption of stealthing and they get that info about me aswell as a plus then. “Yaaaay!”
Yes but its one thing to have the information, its another to be able to send a pet after you, for that you need to come out of stealth whilst in range and pathing of the pet.

Pretty sure u just need to have a buff on you and it will spot you.
Roll a stealth class if you want to sneak around capitals, simple, not hard to understand.
I certainly wont run into ogrimar or undercity with my non rogue or druid and expect no one to find me on the map.
Your reasons for asking that they remove this mod are a joke.
i didn’t ask them to remove the addon. I just asked why it is OK that people that can’t see you can track you. Spy addon has made that more convenient for a lot of people.
Tracking and Seeing are 2 different things.
If your not trying to remove it then why even post this topic in the first place?
My kill on sight on Spy occasionally goes off, doesn’t mean I know exactly where the person is and even if I try to target the player they sometimes go out of range by the time I do.
Might as well moan about nameplates letting you see directly through solid walls as well.

Nope, you have to cast the buff, if you just run up with the buff on you already, nothing is going to flag.

I don’t bite that such vindictive Horde raids are out there to track and kill every hiding Alliance, it sounds more like you’re trying to get said abused players on your side of then argument, but frankly it’s removal would only hurt them.
The add-on is great to help you survive world PVP, especially if you’re playing a class that can capitalise on the intel you get, like a Hunter, Rogue or Druid.
Then why does it trigger for everyone flying close to you?
If you want to test it feel free to get down to thunder bluff (zandalari tribe) and Ill run at you with my lvl 1 shamy.

Why should it not be OK? If they can hear you, by the sounds you make, they should be able to track you down!? I think it make sense.

Make Combat log disabled if not in a dungeon or bg. Problem solved. Only thing it should show in world is dmg done and dmg taken.
There is no problem, everything is working as intended. What is the problem you want to solve?

Addons that weren’t a part of the true classic experience.
This is something that could actually be accomplished just by having the combat log visible though, picking out 50 different names from the combat logs spam and memorizing them and creating /target macros for them in 1 millisecond, I doubt it.

I don’t know what you mean by the “true” classic experience.
Which addons are you referring to?
The addon Spy did not exist in vanilla, but there existed other addons that did the same thing. Would that qualify Spy as a true vanilla experience?

Well, first of all, you’d have to read the combat log, see the cast itself among all the other info, and know the cast time for that particular spell, then be able to accurately time it based on nothing but your own estimation.
Or at least that’d be the case if you couldn’t customize the combat log to such a degree that it would only display the relevant information in noticeable colours to make the information easy to process.
Like you can do to see only enemy player actions, and hotkey the available-by-default Target Nearest Enemy Player.
Are you pretending to not understand my post?
Because flight paths count as an aura which I assume refreshes itself fairly frequently.
It’s why sometimes it triggers and sometimes it doesn’t.
Did you read this in the combat log?
