If you want to talk about "Grey areas" of legality, this program takes the cake. I highly advise AGAINST using it.[/quote]I'm not trying to be rude or confrontational, but you are making completely unsubstantiated comments. Care to explain your reasoning behind how this "takes the cake"? The users of this site deserve the truth imo.[/quote]

Yes, allowing AddOns to target spells via the minimap ping was not intentional and was fixed.
AddOns may not directly cast spells or change targeting.

The program does not automate gameplay
The program adhere's to Blizzards "one switch flips many switches" public forum comments
The program does not allow multiple clicks on 1 wow window with only 1 keystroke (one keystroke = 1 click, simple as that)
The program has no malware (I've scanned it on Symantec and Norton)
The program was designed specifically to be very compliant to Blizzard's EULA

I would know I'm the author.
The point is, it's "gray area" -- that is, an identical in-game function that does the same thing that this program does (targets an AoE spell without using a mouse) was specifically removed from the game. Now, that's not saying "your program is against the rules" since we neither write the rules nor ban infractions of the rules. However, it would be highly prudent as the author of your so-called "Eula compliant" software to get a blue post to state whether or not targeting aoes in 1 click of the keyboard, 2 clicks of the keyboard, relatively positioned or absolute based on x,y coordinates is against the ToU/Eula or not. I'm sure nobody wants to be in the business of unintentional false advertising -- and certainly none of us would like to be responsible for any bans (if we are indeed mistaken).

That's the definition of "gray area" -- the program (and its functionality) has neither a confirmation nor a rebuttal of its legality from a irrefutable source.

TBH, I've already had a discussion about the setview() style of aoe targeting and while I'm not personally happy with it, I will concede that 1) if it's an oversight of WoW's macro API, they will fix it as they did Minimap Ping, 2) it DOES require 2 seperate actions (clicking the action bar and "click"ing the ground with a mouseclick keybinding), and 3) It does not use any absolute x,y positioning -- everything is relative to the SetView() (which, arguably, MinimapPing was relative to the character in-game, but not the window of the user). In any case, you certainly can't argue that it's OK with the ToU/EULA until you have confirmation that it is -- until then, you can only really say "I think" or "I tried to make it" ok with the ToU/EULA -- and that, still, is gray area.

If something seems too good to be true... it usually is.

P.S. Which is the correct way to spell "gray"? Grey? Ugh. Whatever.
