Sigh...I hate feeding trolls...but, here goes.

It only works outside of combat. Blizzard's API prevents any addons from casting spells for you in combat, and SmartBuff falls within that limitation.

Next you'll be saying it's cheating to use an alarm clock to make sure your up for work/school in the morning :D

Very funny.

And if i were playing WoW while I was asleep, I might fully agree with your analogy.

I must say, I did not know about the "non-combat" clause that Jehosaphat mentioned. I think that makes it a little more fair.
I don't know. Call me old-fashioned. I like doing things for myself instead of having a machine tell me when to do them. Sure, I have to keep an eye on my teammates to make sure the buffs are still there, but, as a healer especially, shouldn't I always keep an eye on my teammates?

I just think that at a certain point, with too many add-ons, you're no longer actively involved in your playing, but are just passively following the commands of an automated system -- not to far from being a bot.

I am a human being.

By the way, Diie, you said "your" when you meant to say "you're"...
and I didn't need a Microsoft grammar check or spell check to tell me that. I just needed my brain.

@swee:
And you used 'to' when 'too' would have been correct.
Brains are cool, huh?
