oFollow Discussion

[Ronburgundy]

I ask because your comments imply that those who avoid oFollow are just being overly paranoid and goody two-shoes. In reality, if oFollow works as others have described, then it's simply a gimped botting program. I asked if you were ok with honor botting and your response makes very little sense - you're not ok with it because those programs because they make all decisions, yet you're ok with oFollow that makes movement decisions. Your rationale is that /follow used to have that functionality so it is ok now, willfully disregarding that Blizzard removed that functionality. I assume that you'd be ok with a program that allowed decursing to work the way it did with addons in Vanilla, even though Blizzard explicitly removed the functionality because it made healing too easy.

The reality is this is a botting program, and I'd be surprised if you're not caught relatively soon. I actually hope you do. You can BG very effectively without /follow, but if you want to do something that is clearly cheating, then I have no respect for any of your "accomplishments" in WoW.

"Accomplishments"?. Sorry, but my accomplishments in life, are not derived from a fictitious virtual world in which I participate for the sole sake of my own enjoyment.

Thanks for describing my own post to me though, just incase I didn't understand what I wrote when I wrote it.

If anyone doesn't want to use oFollow. THEN DON'T! I wasn't saying that not using it makes you a goody two-shoes, I was saying that its an untested resolution to our current situation that might have negative effects from its use. SO YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES, MUCH LIKE SPEEDING ON THE HIGHWAY.

But thanks for trying to make wild tangents about the subject, and making subtle attacks on me.

I'm also confused why you are attacking my opinion. That is my opinion, if that is how I feel, and you feel differently then congratulations. Your not going to change my opinion on the subject. You also don't see my trying to persuade people to have the same mentality as myself.

I merely stated that the Program works as it is intended. Regardless of the possible negative effects it may also have.

I am not sure why I even replied to your inquirey about the botting program. It has nothing to do with whether oFollow accomplishes a mimic of /follow effectively or not. Which was the subject of my original reply, that it does indeed accomplish it effectively, regardless of the possible "legality" issues.

If anyone wants to try and use it, you can find help in the wow.publicvent on configuration and useful macros.

But use it at your own risk.
