Hence people crying about the change. If it was Blizzlike then sorry tough, suck it up hunters.
I'm curious what the process was behind the current change. Nos has a team that checks for this stuff, did they really have no idea and suggest something completely different? Or is there a junior dev doing the small stuff and again took a decision without understanding the facts? Or was it a rush job?
The community has offered them the correct fix which wouldn't break groups, but with BWL, PvE realm, I don't think we'll see a change.
IF one of the devs does want to query how to correctly apply a fix for this issue, they are welcome to PM me and I will help.
