Be Careful With Addons/Weakauras in WoW Right Now
- a guy modified popular hunter weakauras to unlearn your professions and brick your game (while spamming that you are cheating the whole time)
- the tech is essentially that the weakaura connects to a chat channel and allows for the installation of MORE weakauras (so at first it seems like nothing bad will happen).
- there is apparently simialr tech in chinese hardcore as well, where you can download a weakaura that disconnects your character on command
TLDR: Malicious weakaura will:
- unlearn proefssions
- brick your graphics completely
- spam any message of their choosing
- abandon your pet (happened to ahlaundoh's hunter guildie mid run)
Adding 'sorry' to the red-light list of words that mean nothing and hide everything:"
Since 'angry' usually means 'frustrated,' and 'should' mostly stands for 'other people's plans,' I'm taking 'sorry' as "That sucks for you" and "I regret that I..."

@Duranasaur24 On the third day of Burpsmass, my twitch chat gave to meeeeeee...
All we need is some rich sadist to drop a hundred-pack of gift subs to make Day 4 more torturous than constant t-rex roaring <3
Keep up the good fight!
@winkyhc Winky, we needs real life Explorer Imps to handle going to the store - make it happen, please.
Doordash and Instacart don't move faster just because you're murdering things. Don't ask how I know this.
@tsoding You're weird and backward in some world views, but the tech work is glorious - keep up the good stuff, upgrade the rest, and let's see what sin you commit next (like writing a web browser in bash)
