Hacking is banned – when you try to adjust the world to your advantage.īotting is banned – when you try to run software that automates normal every day actions such as killing mobs, fishing, or ‘farming’ pvp honor. In the same way that a macro makes casting spells makes that easier and faster for you.Īddons get more complicated and sophisticated, although the majority can either be used immediately when they are downloaded, or are very easy to set up at least for basic functions. You could write this information down by hand on a notepad, or into a database, however the addon just makes this easier and faster for you.
