Now if on the other hand, the Devs would update the game next maintenance with every single addon that exists, that would also be fine since it's now part of the official game, either way you are not breaking the rules.
How hard is it to understand, do not break the rules.
Oh now you're suddenly caring about nuance. No no no you gotta read the TOS.

You may not create or use any unauthorized cheats, bots, automation software, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized software or hardware designed to modify the Game and gameplay.
Read closely what that says. It's not just about modifying the game, it's also about modifying gameplay. And guess what, it wont take 3 months to analyze a fight. Someone is going to create some excel macro that can quickly read out the combat log (this isnt my assumption btw, that's yoship's). And guess what, discord is also a third party software that modifies gameplay.
Stay your course or admit you're wrong.
