It took them more than a year to add ranged weapon enchants to the secure aura headers after they were added to the game. No-one at Blizzard even knew it was broken, because nobody there uses the code they wrote. And not many people reported it because nobody outside Blizzard uses secure aura frames either, due to the fact that it never supported filtering or sorting or anything a real aura addon would need.
And all this because a few druids in tree form were auto-cancelling their tree aura when a warlock tried to banish them. Hey, maybe now that treeform doesn't exist we can get aura cancelling unprotected and do away with the entire secure aura header system? Somehow I don't see it happening any time soon though. Unless Blizzard had to use their own code anyway, in which case it would have happened five years ago.

I can't agree with you more. While i understand that secure frames are needed, since everyone remebers the uncontrolled and capable for anything macros from the Burning Crusade.
But the main issue is that if somebody wants to cheat they can do it so easily.
Either remove the lua restrictions (And i don't think anyone ever got banned for it.), or recently i reverse engineered an interrupt bot program, which was working with an ingame addon. The addon created a 1x1 pixel texture in the corner of you screen and listened cast releated events and colorded that pixel based on that information. And outside the game another program just checked the color of the pixel and initiated a keydown action directly from windows which was your interrupt keybind.
So my question is that is the secure stuff worth the protection it gives, because i highly don't think so.
If at least we could SetPoint in combat i would be so happy. And would solve 90% of the addon blocked issues.
