Test latency of OTHER players???

[shyrotam]

Is there a way to test the latency of OTHER players in the raid?

Something like a ping test, minus your latency, followed by a report?

[Talyrius]

Not unless everyone in the raid were to run such an addon.

[shyrotam]

how about a script that reports latency? make other players copy it and run it before they get invite to RBG or whatever.

Honestly, it would be so easy to spoof that.

an addon like this would make it even harder for people to get into raids

/2 LFM DS PST Class, Spec, GS, Achievement and Latency and come to Trade Bank for inspection.

We dont need anymore "Elitist" addons.

god i miss the days when all you needed was DBM and Decursive (if you needed to dispel/curse etc)

some of you older players (players that have been playing WoW since Beta/Release) probably miss the days BEFORE raiding addons.

Anything can be spoofed using the addon channel, but, I hope oRA3 does not die out, it's practical and could implement a ping check as well, it already does resistance and durability check and it's very handy. oRA3 come back! <3

[shyrotam]

Would this addon be useful for cross-realm RBG?

[Vlad]

If cross battlegrounds have a common channel it will work, don't know if "raid" or "battleground" are valid channels for addons but if so then yes it works.

[SDPhantom]

Valid types are "PARTY", "RAID", "GUILD", "BATTLEGROUND". As of 2.1, "WHISPER" was also added.

I haven't done any testing, but as far as channels go, I highly doubt there's any difference between rated and normal battlegrounds.

Addon channels work properly on rated BGs.
