If AV enabler isn't allowed, why would this be? Just because it's in the broken API of vanilla doesn't mean admins are going to tolerate it.

Robot programs are strictly forbidden by the server's Terms of Use. It should not matter if you think it was allowed on vanilla retail servers or whether the player is AFK. These players are using scripted modules to automate their play experience for a material advantage in game.

If you think it should be allowed, it's going to be one more thing that is slowly turning the server to shit. There are already very few reasons to use the neutral AH.

Going down the route of banning players for using addons is not a good way to go. At all. If an AH bot is programmable with the API then so be it. We are stuck with the 1.12 client API.

And no it isn't going "to turn the server to shit". Just stop putting items up for snipe-able prices. What would turn the server to shit is more arbitrary bans.

Good thing it's a PvP server, when they open the PvE server you will literally have no recourse.

Like GM's accusing players of exploiting for queuing AV with LazyPig? This practice is alive and well.

I doubt that "botting program" includes addons using the plain wow API. There's not much of a difference between this and stuff like auctioneer scans which almost everyone has used at some point. (And in fact the auctioneer browse tab for example does everything which is needed for such a snipe addon too)

Yes. I'm fully aware of this horrible incident. And I wouldn't care to see a repeat ever.

Lenniondas or something like that lvl 18 horde orc warlock running Auctioneer and sniping honest people. ban that piece of garbage!!!

As people said why is av enabler considered a cheat ? Auctioneer is the same exact thing. Ban their IP too
