I don't really see what's the big deal, you only need to fake it once anyway.
Uhh, what? No it doesn't. Here, lets break that statement down.
cheats - it creates a link you post to chat, next
automation software (bots) - the addon is not doing anything to your character, next
hacks - again, just a link in chat, next
mods - addons do not modify the game, next
unauthorized third-party sofware... - addons are not third-party software
Whelp, looks like this addon can't violate this clause of the ToU.
Class 6 felony punishable by death and dismemberment. Using it is no different then just linking somebody else's achievement.
"Privilege is invisible to those who have it."
It astonishes me how you can actually play and raid with your head up so far up your own arse.
Anyways I believe it is against the ToS, I'm sure we had warnings on a blue post about it back in wrath when fuck wits were demanding a huge GS - thus making people use this add on. I didn't actually realise it was still up for downloading.
It doesn't breach the terms of use and addons that can fake achievements have been around since WotLK.
Touched on that in other posts.

I tend to always give people the benefit of the doubt, and in 9/10 cases I get disappointed. Is it too much to ask for, wanting to play with people who pull their weight or ask if they don't know exactly what to do, instead of having them act as if they are competent when they are not?

Why would you assume that? I pretty much stated the opposite? Gear can't carry you in harder content if you don't have a good basic skill level. Rather take someone who I know is competent with shit gear than someone who has good gear but fuck up alot. And yes, HC is not hard, hc is supposed to be the old normal for god sakes so people not having curve, even if it'sdue to lack of time at this point, just isn't putting enough effort to get ti I guess.

Don't mis understand me, I'm not arguing that everyone should take every Tom dick and Harry with them, I'm just saying there are people that are competent out there who haven't got the achi yet. People should defiantly ask what to do if they need help and they should be able to pull their weight if you give them a chance.
But the people I usually quote are ones who refuse to take anyone under a specific item level, usually higher than what can be gotten in said raid and wanting the curve. For example the other day on here, someone was saying they run a pug, usually clear 5/7 hc, but you must have curve to enter. Now I said, I'm on 1/7 hc, I know the tactics, have sufficient ilvl with prioritised best stats, flasks, pots and food etc. I physically can not be more ready to progress further, no not good enough no achi.
I saw another thread a few days ago about kara, and people were posting they were intended to run it more than once in a week (I don't know if they mean on characters or just for re rolling with coins on loot?) but they estimated they'd have the achi in less than a few hours and from that exact point they'd expect everyone to have it. No regards to people in work or different time zones which can't play yet etc.
These examples are the ridiculous ones which I normally point out, you are doing nothing wrong, your giving people a chance and their either fuck wits it liars and I wouldn't blame you if you kicked the, after a few attempts, but atleast you've tried
And i hate achiev/ilvl whore who don't care about exp. I was in Curve Only PUG and it wiped 5 times at spider HC. When simple Fresh HC PuG made it to Xavius with only 2 wipes (1 at Ursoc and 1 at Cenarius).Hate people like u tbh, u might think u are good enough and know the fights but then u get invited and mess up on something fundamental in the fight and waste people's time.
Blizzard need to do something like enhanced Providing Grounds. So people could show their EXP. Since achiev/ilvl does mean shit becouse its easy to buy these days.
I messaged the creator today it is 100% legal, thanks for everyone who responded.
