Not everyone shares you oppinion or experiances with them... In my experiance they have caused large amounts of damage to comunities and strengthened the rift between "hardcore" players and pretty much everyone else. The few addons that may have been usefull are eclipsed by botting programs and raid boss easy buttons. In the end though I beleive this argument has been had many times and probably will continue on pointlessly, as from what I am told the basic framework for the game was never ment to suport mods.

Addons are not capable of botting They can't directly control combat.

Make it harder to detect the source with the other noise. Again, that is what I have been told at least... I know for certain that alot are used for viruses. One of my old friends got his acount hacked becuase of a virus in a mod he got from Curse shrug

Addons for MMO's was a terrible idea in the first place, the focus should be on the internal presentation, and general information conveyance, instead of new ways to invite external issues. ---
Truth is far too valuable to be left out in the open. Guard it closely. Hide it well.

I think either the guild leader needs to lay some ground rules to your younger members or do a trial run with them before hand.
