Ok.

I’m the guy.

And to make things much, MUCH worse…

/cringe

… **I** downloaded the addon and then promptly forgot about it. I could lie and say it was my little brother, but we would all know the truth, somewhere, deep within out souls. Of course, I also don’t read if I don’t have to, so I didn’t notice WHERE the addon would show up in-game.

/shudder

Anyone got a silver-plated bullet? I only need one…

I can feel the guys pain. I share a computer with my wife and I use addons, lots of them. The wife? Eh, not so much. I’ll install a new addon to try for a day or two, find out it doesn’t work the way I would like and trash it, next thing you know she gets all kinds of mad because she thought it was cool. Or I’ll find a great new addon and it overwrites something she understands and then she freaks out because she dosen’t have her old addon anymore.

The strangest thing is that sometimes she’ll see me using a cool addon and she wants to try it out, but for some reason it won’t work for her. One night I spent 30 minutes logging her in, not finding the addon she wanted to use, logging out, verifiying the addon was checked in the addon menu, logging back in to find no addon. It is a vicious loop.

TankPoints, ey? Downloading this very minute! Might give my brain a rest when I try and use RatingBuster’s info to determine tanking stats and what I should prioritise.

I would SO install one of those joke addons. Set it up for my wife’s Warlock so when she casts a curse, brings up a message “You are too nice to do that. Here, use Lifebloom instead”.

There is also Cat Points which is similar but aimed at maxing catdps.
I absolutely love using wowmatrix for all my download/update needs for addons.

Just a thing about PC sharing…

It had used to be the case that if you downloaded an addon onto your machine, it would be ON by default for all characters on your account AND for all players using your machine. However, all of your individual in-game settings would be character-unique.

Nowadays, most player specific info is stored server-side, like key-bindings etc and i think this includes addon settings.
All addons installed now…are automatically ON for all the characterss on your account, but not for other accounts..slight difference. In game settings still remain character unique.

All the addons I have used go across accounts on the computer. I install addon on my Husbands and my computer all the time. Mosty he loves it. I do try and remember to warn him about it. But I do forget. He has gotten use to just going to his addon options and clicking off ones he doesn’t know or use. Which works for us both.
