What I don't get is why you're crying about a protest addon. If you liked that feature in HR, why are you even looking here? Just bored and like to pick a fight, I guess?

And yes, I stand by my characterization. First, "it's in the changelog" is irrelevant because most people don't read them. I do, but most people don't. Same reason why some EULAs don't stand up when they're actually challenged in court.

Second, because many people install HR because they're asked to for sharing colos or horns or whatever. They didn't install it so that they can be trolled by whoever happens to have crown.

It's just one of those basic expectations that people have, you know? That something that I install doesn't do some weird unexpected **** that's unrelated to its main function. And in that regard, it's exactly like a cryptominer hidden in a game.

Ah, yes, the good old, "if you don't like it, then don't use it" line. Let's say you did read the changelog (as I did) and are appalled by this feature. So what do you do? Can't really uninstall HR since many raids require it, for coordinating colos, horns, etc. So I did the next best thing: uninstalled the feature that I didn't like. Hence why this addon was created. Think of it as a way to selectively uninstall.

As for my commentary, such as with the naming of this addon, I'm free to express as much displeasure as I like with what I view as an indefensible feature, and I'll express that displeasure as I damn well please. And if my disapproval of HR's feature somehow offends you, then, again, why are you even here?

See, from my perspective, it's kinda weird that I get someone commenting on an obsolete, irrelevant addon (since HR did completely remove the offending feature, this addon does literally nothing now), long after the controversy has passed. As far as I can tell, from the tone of your posts, that you're just here to pick a fight... because... like you defending crappy features? BTW, you're also the first and only person that I've seen defending this feature that was in HR.

ROFL. First, it's irrelevant now that andy.s caved to the negative backlash that his feature rightfully deserved.

Second, if you bothered to download this addon and see what it does, it's not a different version of HR, but rather something that sabotages HR's feature. But I suppose it's easier to post a snarky comment in defense of an indefensible feature than to do a minute's worth of investigation.

This is mostly my way of expressing disapproval at this new thing in HR. The very concept is abominable.

As for practical usage, in end-game raiding, HR is kind of a de facto required addon. For supports to share horn (though this damage stop feature exempts healers and tanks), for necros to coordinate Major Vulnerability, and there are some raid leads who like to keep an eye on people's DPS in real time (I personally find that distasteful, but that's not relevant here). So I have heard from a number of people who "must" use HR, but hate this new "feature" that it has, and this is ostensibly for them.

But mostly, it's my way of giving the new feature my middle finger.
