That is what is going to happen surely.
They don’t fix things, they block access to those things. Just look at all those trading and market restrictions, crafting loot becoming untradable after one trade, and list can go on.
So yeah, we can thank topic starter for his butthurt and just wait when IMC banhammer strikes everyone who uses any kind of addons just because OMG THERE IS A HOLE YOU MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE USED BAN
People complaining here because they do not have motivation to play TOS anymore … PvP main reason to lvup and get items and we do not have it yet … if we had no one would be complaining about simple addons.

I have sent IMC an Email to complain about abusing addon. Sorcerers are camping days and nights at dina bee farm with auto pot addon =))
EXP viewer is an awesome addon but it will be better if IMC can intergrate it into client then ban all other addons

Disabling addons will just prevent the potential of having several Quality of Life improvements that can be enjoyed via addons. Ever heard of LKChat? That thing makes quick work of spambots and not only blocks them but reports them as well. Sure they can be integrated on the game but when? Do I suck it up until then? Addons provide a leeway for developers to let enthusiastic people contribute and make the handy/helpful stuff so they can focus on other more pressing things. Sure it’s a shame the developers can’t make some of the things that seem essential but you don’t have infinite developer time.
HOWEVER, IMC does need to clamp down on what they deem to be unsafe/obtrusive. But the intent of this thread is leaning towards the route of witch-hunting addon developers.
P.S. Learn to talk for yourself instead of saying “THE COMMUNITY”.
Lots of drama here… jees
I brought evidentes, only evidentes of exploits from addons creators.
So, maybe IMC can “wake up” and do anything more relevant than show lists of banneds “random named bots”.
Fact:: The client has a serious security flaw.
ALL of others shitposts, dramas, paranoias, haters and children fighting, are irrelevants.
My " job" here is done, IMC see this topic, bye haters, thanks for the audience, I can always count with you all.
Oh, OP here. Bye!

Personally, not seeing spam bot shouts/private messages is way better than potentially lowering my bot reporting score (I forgot the term).
Its quite comical how far this bait has lasted.
Does no one actually know how to make a fake account using another persons name or alias? Because doing minor amounts of research proves excrulon stopped making new add-on’s ages ago.
While I dont personally use them his final add-on which includes the map viewer is the only thing he last updated.
Edit: Before trolls attempt defending fraud. Let’s remember if it was really a site designed by Michael then he would have had the power to ban/delete and hide view of his work from this moron.

If they were to ever ban addons, they’d better implement the exploring addon into the base game or I swear to god I’ll kick you all in the nuts for getting them banned.

Thats the point. Where do you put the red line? I don’t want to miss the exp viewer, the map exploration addon, the enhanced collection addon, and a few more… and they dont cause any issues at all.
But… (1) everybody will claim that his addons dont cause shi* to happen, so (2) we need a verification process, which (3) costs fuc*tons of money, so (4) we wont get it, so (5) we wont get any addons at all.
And I dont threaten to quit often, in fact I havent in ToS at all and this is the very first time, but playing without addons doesnt look like an option to me right now…

Yeah ban the addons kill the game, kill the game, do it like you did with the Guild VS Guild and see how the people start leaving the game, kill the game with your holiness.

Yeah, I told him to ■■■■ off because he was acting entitled and demanding I do stuff for him. I closed the issues section for my repos now and am no longer helping people on getting stuff working because the community is awful.
These exploits to open any window anywhere have been known and reported since beta and imc hasn’t cared to fix them. There’s nothing wrong with native addons itself. Any competent software company/programmer knows that you never trust the client. It’s up to imc to code their game properly so you can’t do this stuff without server-side validation. This is nothing specific to addons. Every game needs proper server-side validation.
Finding these things while doing addons only makes the game more secure. One exploit I found and reported privately to imc was responded to and has already been fixed, for example. This is how wow has always handled it. They remove client-side access to stuff that they don’t want people using in their mods.

Disappointed but not surprised.
amen to that. looked like a spoiled brat getting the smack in the face that he deserved.
and really, with the Addon Manager out now, if people still “need” help, there’s probably nothing that can be done for them anyway.
(ps: a million thanks for getting context menu additions updated! and a million more for everything else!)
this was actually my first thought: well maybe it’s private because they know it’s kinda exploity, and they’re just doing it to point it out? like, “Hey IMC… we’re probably not supposed to be able to do this right? maybe you should plug up the coding so that we actually can’t.”
honestly, for a couple of people that have given so much to this community and this game already, a lot of people seem really eager to jump onto any -whisper- of a scandal screaming “i told you so, i knew they had to be up to no good!”…
i don’t pretend to be any paragon of virtue myself, but this is too painfully accurate.
we, as a community, need to get our sh*t together, and stop acting like such a bunch of whiny, self-entitled asses.
So what’s your point ?
Basically you’re bashing fiote when he did nothing wrong (but leaking private addons by inadvertance).
Afaik, he hasn’t purposely made theses discutable addons public. Having him as a commiter on a mirror repo doesn’t make him a confirmed exploiter either.
wow just wow, you must be some top tier retard, HI LOOK EVERYONE, this is how you can hack the game, this is like going to a school yard and handing kids porn. (epic facepalm)
