Blizz to handicap Gearscore

Q u o t e:
According to WoWAce, Blizz is going to start throttling inspection requests, thus limiting addons like Gearscore's ability to generate on-the-fly GS of a player's equipment.

It’s important to understand that the throttling that is being done isn’t intended to break any functionality of add-ons, but merely to control the amount of queries that are being sent to the server at any given time. (Thus throttling the queries.) The queries will still occur, it just won’t happen as quickly as they currently seem to. You can read the statements that WoW Ace and WoW Interface have up for a bit more information on these changes. We wanted to give mod authors a heads-up prior to making the change so that they could make any adjustments they needed to on their mods.

That's your opinion, and you're allowed to have one. However, clearly Blizz is responding to the widespread abuse of players through gear inspection. By reducing the possible gear queries by over 30%, at least 30% more players will be invited to pug raids. This is a massive victory for the WoW community.

I'm going to assume that you weren't responding to me since what I posted definitely wasn't opinion.

I just wanted to reiterate that the original information on this change was meant to help add-on authors more than anything so that they could adjust accordingly. Unless the add-ons you use are requesting a lot of data, there isn't going to be any particular change in regard to the amount of latency you might be experiencing in the game.
