Ban Wave
Kaivax has taken to the forums to explain a massive ban wave that hit the player base of Classic.
- Approximately 74,000 WoW accounts
- Majority using automation tools to gain an unfair competitive advantage
- Explains a bit about when reports may not seem like they are working.
Auction House Automation
It was noticed recently the Auction House has been slower for the goblins
- There is now a limit on queries per minute
- This cap has been greatly adjusted after strong feedback from the community
- This should not affect most users, including many users of AH automation add-ons like TSM
Where to Draw the line on Add-ons
This week we want to take the time to talk about add-ons in general.
When do add-ons go too far and have negative effects on the game?
Should designing encounters with add-on capabilities in mind be considered a bad thing?
Is there an argument to completely restrict WoW’s API and shut down add-ons?
