I'd be very impressed if any addon could track this data across accounts. Since saved variables are unique PER ACCOUNT and even in a linked saved variables file configuration you will run into file-overwrite issues.Originally Posted by 'Ivanhalf',index.php?page=Thread&postID=195133#pos t195133
The problem with this is all addons save data to the "Saved Variables" folder under their own name - if you Simlink the accounts all to use the same folder - all copies of wow write when they log out - and only the last one stays accurate, the other accounts are overwritten. It would concievably be possible to write an application that merged the data from these files, however it would have to designed to handle the many varieties of how data is stored.
Want a test to prove this? Link up your saved variables folder and start 5 accounts up...
put 1000G on account 1, and log out the other 4, then log out account 1.
put 1000G on account 2, and log out the other 4, then log out account 2.
put 1000G on account 3, and log out the other 4, then log out account 3.
put 1000G on account 4, and log out the other 4, then log out account 4.
put 1000G on account 5, and log out the other 4, then log out account 5.
now assuming these 5 accounts have zero gold other than the 1000 we are talking about you should see an aggregate total of 1000G on the accounts, because only one toon has the gold... instead you will see that the addon assumes all have 1000G and will say you have 5000G aggregate.
