This has obviously been blown completely out of proportion.
By yourself. This topic has been brought up other times on other threads where people simply go "I don't like this, but i'll live with it because i like the ui".

Personally, i think the yell is hilarious. I want her to keep it in. What makes your wants any more important then the devs and other users?

Seriously, if you cant handle a emote every time you mazzle, then don't use it. Mazzle is not going to bend backwards for you.

I didn't realize Mazzle Inc had gone public, from which you are apparently the majority shareholder.

Ok, all joking aside...what's the big deal? You didn't pay for the mod did you? Just don't use it if you don't like it. I would much rather see Mazzle spend her time working on bug fixes or feature/mod additions that benefit the entire community instead of removing something that such a miniscule portion of the user base finds annoying, regardless of how trivial a task it may be.

Actually...

I hope you know that the moaning suggestively Blizzard has as part of the standard set of emotes. /moan or /moan *character name* will prompt the same responses. Its not a unique emote.

Although...I'm used to my boyfriend using it on me. *grin*

As for Mazzle responding to you...to be honest, his primary beta tester HAS responded to you, in a polite and friendly manner. Everyone I have seen on the forums who HAS complained about the mazzlegasm, has been told the same thing, with references as to how to fix it if the person asks. What more could any user ask for?

No, it has been blown out of proportions by the people who obviously couldn't take the criticism. I air what I feel about it and get told to "relax" and that "it's just a game". A person doesn't like something in your favorite UI - just deal with it, don't go all fanboy over each other. I thought criticism was an integral part of the process of building a good app.

I am not saying that Mazzle should bend backwards. For the love of...! All I did was criticise it, think it was out of bounds, and that I would like to know why it was there.

And I know the /moan-emote is a standard emote. That's not the point. The point is that the UI did it without me wanting to. The point is that the UI chatted as if it was me. You don't seem to understand what I am getting at. Some people might find it hilarious, others intrusive. I can see why you want it there, I just don't like the idea that it happens without the end user having any say in the matter (except hacking the lua-files, we've been down that road). Like me when I first experienced it. Just calm down and listen to what I am saying about it.

Never mind, obviously there is no point to this discussion. You like it, I didn't. I wanted it removed, you didn't. I wanted a straight answer, all I got was people too busy to defend it to give me one.

Good luck with the UI, Mazzle. I can only hope you take the emote out at some point. Until then, take care.

MazzleGASM FAQ

This is the post that the original FAQ was in. After merging in posts from other threads, I had to do some cutting and pasting to get it on top. Anyway, all posts before this were made before the FAQ was posted.

Answer:

If you don't like an add-on that makes your character say something when you install it, don't use it. It's the same thing as choosing not to use an add-on like Necrosis that mutters something when you summon your pet. No one is forcing you to use this.

To make sure you know about this, I've added a clearly labelled note at the end of the the description of the UI that warns you that your character may yell and emote when installing.
For accuracy purposes, this is a bad comparison. In Necrosis, it is simple to disable the whacky pet comments. I don't use your UI, but it seems to be that your "Mazzlegasm" (LOL!!) can't be disabled. Then again, who would want to disable any type of *gasm.

True, but even if you could not disable Necrosis' rp'ing comments, the conclusion I made would be exactly the same. If you don't like what the add-on does, don't use it.

I made a whole set of FAQs for it, just for you. Well, not really, but I'll pretend. Anway, it's in its own thread.

Was unexpected when my char started yelling/moaning/dancing in SW, spat coffee all over my screen.

Was great

I find the whole Mazzlegasm thing hilarious, part of the humor and attitude that is the very soul of MazzleUI. I suppose it's suggestive, but it's no more than that -- and as you say, there are certainly aspects of WoW that are far more objectionable.

Personally I think this is a moot argument. As many others have stated... if an individual finds that much wrong with a UI then do not use it. If you want it changed... change it. If your friends want it changed... but do not know how, then you do it or tell them how. I think that is one of the most unique and funny things in the UI. For those people giving you tells... perhaps it should be them on your ignore list instead of you. They need to loosen up some. There is a lot worse said and done in WoW than the word or emote associated with this UI. Here is something else to think about... some of those worse things have likely been done by your very own 10 year old...

personally i've taken to just changing the yell to a say

but i like it overall, was a shock the first time i used it lol!

already had two mazzlegasms on my server despite changing it (forgot to change on both computers lol) and noone's said a word

basically if you don't like it, you clearly weren't laughing while reading the FAQ and i'm not sure you quite get teh spirit of the mod, and as some helpful individuals have pointed out look up some stuff on lua coding and fix it yourself if you really feel you must

honestly as this addon catches on (well, becomes ubiquitous) you'll be just another person installing mazzleui

I feel I must point out, that I can guarantee with a 99.786% certainty, that every one of the users complaining did not read the FAQ, let alone in its entirety, therefore, you are absolutely correct, they did not laugh at it .

Arrow my 25 pence

just a few things to say..... then im going to bed cause im mazzle'd out.

1: READ THE README FILE CONTAINED WITHIN THE MOD ITSELF OR EVEN THE INSTALL NOTES ON THE WOWINTERFACE PAGE FOR THE UI!!!!!
I f people actually read this sort of information then there would more than likely not need to be a FAQ or "im gonna whine cause I can" thread......

2: People really need to read forums for an addon to see if they are either A) going to like it. B) they are going to dislike something about it. C) They should wait before installing it to see if there are any ongoing bugs that could affect their gameplay.

3: EVERY person i have been near when i have mazzified the 20-30+ chars I use mazzle on has come running up asking what it was all about.... or saying it was funny..... not ONCE have i gotten moaned / whined at. The only bad thing i got was a note that someone was now ignoring me! lol. but if they cant take a joke and have fun IN A GAME!!!!!!! then i dont wanna talk to them.

4: I wouldnt change much in mazzle at all...... its the most near perfect UI in the entirity of WOW..... keep up the fine work Mazzle & Co.

The definitive answer:

I dislike the mazzlegasm. If he wants to put the (irritating to me)mazzlegasm in there, ITS HIS MOD. Don't like it? DON"T USE IT! It's not like you PAID FOR IT! No one is FORCING your to use it. GET OVER IT. Seriously.

Now the gnome theme is an entirely different issue. We need to organize hunger strikes to get him to ditch the detestable gnomes. The only good gnome is a dead gnome that you orchestrated the death of by mobs so there is a 10% durability hit. Having to stare at some ridiculous looking abomination is really too much to take.

FOR THE HORDE!!

I think that anyone that thinks this is a horrible thing is a stick in the mud. On all 15 chars that I have... I have had some wink at me, some ask what that was, one ask if I needed a smoke after that, a few cheers, and more then a few giggles and whispers of omg how did you do that.

Not once have I been told to stfu, never have I heard Reported or lame or anything bad. I think that some folk may have been over reacting because they were caught off guard. And trust me if anyone told me I was iggied after a mazzlegasm... I would laugh and say good... stick in the muds are doing me a favor...

So I am with the evil cute one.... mazzelgasms for all!!!

Then it gives me special pleasure to let you know that one of the things on my idea list is a little animated mazzlefizz gnome that will pop up to help you learn the UI and the various other add-ons.

"Hi Tempestas! It's me, Mazzlefizz. Sorry to interrupt you during a boss fight, but do you want to learn a little more about your buttons?"

Muahahaha.
