Totem stomping macros - Blue Tracker

#0 - May 20, 2009, 11:10 p.m.

I am going to sticky and lock this since it seems to get asked about once a week.

Blizzard does not like the gameplay of totem-stopping macros and we intend to stop it. Destroying a totem should be a viable strategy but it should be a choice and require some effort on the part of the destroyer. Making a macro to have your pet attack the totem without having to target the totem first does not in our minds constitute enough effort.

This will require a technical change that we don't have in place yet. We will announce when we are making that change when we know for sure that the change is going live.

If the solution was that easy, we would have done it long ago.

As I said in the sticky, we know how to fix it. There is nothing wrong with attempting to offer technical suggestions, just realize that the WoW code base is quite vast, yet our programmers are still plenty familiar with it. If you want to discuss the strategy or balance of killing totems, then please feel free.
