This addon?
Well yeh i guess so something that activates and spams names levels coordinates instantly in every channel.
The addon mentioned does literally nothing of what you suggested.
It’s one thing that an addon reads the combat log from your nearby surroundings in order to keep track of enemy players nearby, but it’s not doing this:
in any way, shape or form.
Its litterally being spammed in chat like general chat, guild chats, Names of enemy players - level - Coordinates in guild chats, General chats from what ive seen starting with.
Spy Addon - ____________________
Just saying what ive seen and how ive come to understand it and how people are using it.
Can you provide me with an example of this? I’m unfamiliar with the addon and its description is the following: “The addon scans the combat log for actions performed by enemy players. If an enemy player is detected the addon will attempt to determine their class, race and level based on the ability that was used. The addon will then sound an alert and add the enemy player to its list.”
Would love to see a screenshot or two:)
If you’re unfamiliar with the addon, why did you say it did nothing of what the OP suggested.
I’m just reading what the creators of the addons wrote about it and took their word instead of someone on a forum. I’ve read enough on this forum after classic release to have my doubts about thread creators.
This is actually another quote from the addon.
How can Spy help you?
Not wanting to be ganked
Because Spy will alert you whenever an enemy player is detected, it will be extremely difficult for them to attack you by surprise. It will give you the time to determine whether you should prepare to fight or run away.
Wanting to be the one to do the ganking
If enemy players are not using the Spy addon themselves then it is likely that you will know about them before they know about you. This will let you prepare for attacking them by surprise.
Know when your enemies are nearby
Spy will sound an alarm when a Kill On Sight enemy player is detected. Usually you would add an enemy player to your Kill On Sight list when you are certain they will attack you. Spy will remember who your enemies are and will make sure you know when they are around.
Know when enemy players become stealthed
Spy will warn and sound a specific alert when it detects that an enemy player stealths. You should no longer be surprised by rogues or druids attacking you out of the blue.
Forgive me, but I fail to see a mention of any coordination posts and spamming of said information in every channel.
If you download the addon and if u dont go into settings and change alerts to self you will be spamming to everyone else.
You can test it and see for yourself i cant include links if you download the addon you will see.
Where’s the link?
Ah, last second edit. But no, I’m playing without addons at the moment so I wont be getting that one either. I’d rather you just prove what you claimed was the case.

you know where to put the dot.
This addon has got to go. It is an addon that literally breaks the spirit of the game and it completely ruins PVP, not just open world but in BGs as well.
This is more a cheat addon than anything else to be honest.
Well then. That’s a whole lot more than it advertises, and I do agree with you. This is too much information to be posted by a single addon. I thought it was more like an addon that informed the player through sounds, but this is one step too far
This kills world pvp everyone will be 100% aware of the time, for instance i stealth before i reach stormwind all of a sudden they are made aware that i am basically at Goldshire they stop dueling because they know its a rogue that used stealth they all use stealth detection, IT COMPLETELY kills world pvp for classic,
Not just world PVP but imagine this in a battleground? Good grief lol… It would be a nightmare trying to sneak up on a flag or do any objectives in any BG…
But now its like, whats the point in playing a rogue for example when everyone is going to know your near by?
This addon was in Vanilla.
And how does that matter? The LFG addon was too.
Just because it was in vanilla, doesn’t mean it’s good for the game nowadays. The OP addressed it in his post.
