Luna unit frame considered hack or bot?

[chrlai]

Just want to check if anyone has idea will it be considered hacking botting if using luna unit frame to replace the blizard ones. Any experiences to share?

If that would be then half the server would be banned by now.

Sorry, Rhena, no intent to offend. I am asking just becasue all of my accounts have been banned yesterday. I have been playing the game for 3 months so I want to troubleshoot the cause. One recent change is I started to use Luna unit frame from last Sunday.

I really think Luna unit frame is a great frame addons and thank you for the good works.

AddOns like UnitFrames use the public API of shared functions from Blizzard directly, it was therefore inteded so that players are allowed to modify the visual in your UI.

LunaUF is definitively not considered as hack or bot.

if you're talking about a bot or botlike behaviour that would rather be such AddOns with 1button macro spam, since there you're using a bot who does the judging, the thinking instead of your brain.
BUT EVEN THAT CAN'T GET YOU BANNED. Since on 1.12.1 it is still possible, in 2.0 it's not fyi. But there is no way to prove that you are abusing such thing here.

the only AddOn you could get in trouble for was obviously such to group-queue for AV, which was basically an exploit to re-use a mechanic which was once in the game but removed for a good reason.


TL;DR - ALL VISUAL CHANGES from AddOns are allowed, and that goes for additional Information AddOns like SWStats, KTM and stuff like that.
- Using an AddOn to groupqueue as workaround was not visual and had impact to the server / the community.

Thanks for your very clear explanation, LYQ.
