Time Until AFK 

If you're not endorsing afk'ing/leeching honor in the BG then why even bother to release this ? It's bordering on an exploit mod.

In Europe at least, BG leeching is now against the T&C of the game and is deemed illegal by Blizz.

Disgusted that this is even allowed on here tbh and don't get all freedom of speech knackery on me over saying that, this mod is plain and simple a tool to allow scumbag leechers get away with it easier in the BG. It's an exploitive mod and should be removed.

Reporting mod and code to blizz to hopefully have it added into the warden's detection.

This mod is simply a stopwatch
You were better off reporting leechers/afkers ingame, then addon coders.
I doubt you play without any mods

Quote from blue...

"In short, purposefully avoiding the "AFK" tag in a battleground, regardless of the method used is an actionable offence. Anyone found by us to be leeching honour in this way will be first removed from the Battleground, and then action will be taken on their account, up to and including permanent account suspension.

If you should see anyone avoiding AFK in a battleground, please report them to us in game, and we will try to witness the offence and take appropriate action in accordance with our policies. "

Warden doesn't do that. Official rules from Blue are "if it can be done in the scripting engine [lua] we give you, it's legal."

There's no way they will make this addon illegal, they'll just continue to ban honour leechers.

It's really quite sad that someone would waste their time to code something like this, there's a million better addons you could be writing.

You may not be endorsing AFK'ers in BGs, but you damn sure are enabling them with this.

Assuming you realize what an "enabler" is, that question shouldn't have been asked. Yes, people can do it prior, but this addon makes it *that* much easier now. Get it?

I won't use this addon, and, TBH, despite your protestations, kneeki, I fail to see the point of this mod other than to AFK leech in BGs.

However, Blizzard to have the capability to make addons break if they have a problem with them (a la Decursive). I will punt a wee note their way letting them know about this addon, and leave it up to them to decide whether they will let it continue or break it in a patch. I suggest anyone else who doesn't like this addon, or any other in this vein, to not bother wasting their time flaming the authors and simply do the same.

When you make your work public, you accept the risk of getting unfavorable reviews.
No one flamed you, instead a few people pointed to blue responses regarding the exploitative practice your addon facilitates.

You are the only one inviting flames, by making such ridiculous claims as Blizzard breaking the addon in a patch...
Would they remove the ability of addons to use timers or the AFK state altogether?

Blizzard won't break this. It uses such root functions (detecting spellcasts, movement...) that they would break many MANY acceptable addons just to break this.

Why did the decursive break take soooooo long? Cause they didn't want to just break everything. And Decursive was making combat decisions, something they expressly don't want addons doing. This addon is just giving a timer and audio cues to the player, who then makes the decision to "refresh" their AFK timer. Blizzard has said many times that they want the player making decisions, not mods....

So... yea... the mod's functions, not "illegal".... what it assists the player with? Definitely illegal. Mod's fault? No. User's fault? Yes.

Either way, you don't present a strong usage example for this addon to counter the AFKer's use. I would have never released this mod if I had written it... perhaps you should take it down as an act of good faith? Giving to the community is good, giving something that's a magnet for cheaters... not so good.

*edit*
Hell, even just taking out the sound would be a great gesture. It would mean that the player would have to be actively watching the timer to AFK camp. Seems somewhat counterproductive to be sitting at your computer watching a timer so you can "stay" AFK, does it not?
