/dump Multiple Items?
Hi,
Is it possible to "/dump" multiple items in your bags? If so, would it be possible to print the results into a file/GUI list(in-game) maybe even with bag container id slots? Or are their restrictions that I need to be made aware of? Reason I would like to able to achieve this is because I have literally 1000's of lockboxes from my multibox farms and have decided to see if there is a more stringent way of identifying worthy boxes to unlock. I was recently made aware of this old post regarding the affect I'm after: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comment...esting_happen/ TL;DR : ADIBags using the feature "Merge all unstackable items". Therefore showing which boxes that may have loot worth AHing. HOWEVER, I do not wish to break any ToS what so ever, so in hindsight. If It is possible would this be considered an exploit or smart use of the wow interface? |
If an addon can do it, it is perfectly fine. Automation rules concern the use of external help such as a bot program or an autoclicker. What addons do within the confines of Blizzard’s Lua environment is what they have authorized, as long as you’re actually using an addon to perform that action. A bag addon moving your items around for you is harmless. In this situation, I believe AdiBags actually doesn’t move any items. It’s a full bag display replacement and simply shows items in certain arrangements in its own frames.

Still though in your opinion is my original question still possible? |

We can pretty safely assume that identifying the contents of locked lockboxes is probably not intended behavior, even if it's possible to do it by looking at their item links. You won't risk punishment for doing this and discarding the junk, but scamming other players by selling lockboxes that you know contain nothing of value, as is suggested multiple times in that reddit post, perhaps isn't the smartest way forward. |

As for identifying items in a lockbox, that is impossible. ballistics1142 is looking to identify the lockboxes themselves in an organized format due to a large amount of farmed lockboxes. They want to sort between ones to unlock and ones to vendor. Quote:
Here's a line of code you can copy/paste that will dump an alphabetized list of your bags into your chat: Code:
/run local d,s,l,n={},{}for b=0,NUM_BAG_SLOTS do for p=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b)do l=GetContainerItemLink(b,p)if l then n=l:match("%[(.*)%]")if n then s[#s+1]=n d[n]="bg:"..b.." sl:"..p.." "..l end end end end sort(s)for k,v in ipairs(s)do print(d[v])end bg:4 sl:5 [Swift Springstrider] |

I haven't accused you of anything, the post you linked to (the one the topic is about) specifically mentions scamming people using this technique in the top comment. To accurately answer the question you asked, this is something that has to be addressed, because whether or not you're going to get in trouble for doing this is reliant upon what you then do with the resulting information and not the method itself. Blizzard obviously wouldn't know you're doing this unless you brought attention to yourself by doing something stupid with it. Quote:
He mentions that he's concerned that this might be breaking the ToS because it seems like an exploit, and wants us to tell him that it isn't so he can justify doing it. The reason it seems like an exploit is because an addon is capable of revealing information that is not otherwise available to us, and that information can be used to take advantage of other players, which is what Blizzard would take offense to, and why this is most likely an oversight rather than intentional design. |
