Reputation: 1 Level up: 93%, 29 Points needed |   | | | can blizzard access to your addons?
does anyone knows if blizzard has anykind of access (download) to your addons in the interface folder?
for example if you run bot helper scripts (needed for pvp bots). |

In short: The warden does not scan your addons, but the client does |

Reputation: 1 Level up: 93%, 29 Points needed | | | | is the complete lua script sent to the server or only the CRC checksum?
but i really see no point in scanning addons before LOGIN, because i can change scripts ingame&reloadgui or load code throu SavedVariables.
i wonder if, for example, a GM has access to my current ACTIVE addons while playing? |

I don't know if the gms can see your addons but they can't ban you just for using addons. |

If settings syncing is enabled in config.wtf SavedVariables are sent to the server, GMs can't see them either
I agree that the whole scanning addons before logon is stupid, but is certainly simpler to implement. |
