Something like this:
See if that works, or if that causes issues. All that would be in MyAddonLoader is the .toc and the basic class check test in the .lua, the libraries and everything would be in MyAddon and should only be loaded if the character being played is a rogue?
If that doesn't work, then I guess prompting the user to /reload or having them deal with the addon being loaded once during first login would be the only real solution.

Actually, this was the second solution that I thought after reading jeruku, Seerah and your replies
This definitely worked as I expected, but the reason that I abandoned this, at first, was because I felt it was contradictory to waste a resource by creating another addon to reduce the resource waste of the main addon.
BUT, I did miss a point that I had libraries and media embedded into my addon and thus, creating a separate addon like that would still be much better than those unnecessary libraries and media being loaded

Yeap, I've already stated those OptionalDeps to my TOC
