TheChiaroscuristSo, after my many many months of playing WOW, and my addiction to addons... there's a few relatively simple addons I wonder why don't exist (unless I've simply had the missfortune of not finding them).
I'm horrible at explaining ideas without the use of being able to draw a picture, but I'll do my best (and hope it makes since).
1st idea, a simple addon that lets you keep track of the various "/" commands for your other addons.
Here's my vision for what it might look/act like if I knew how to make addons. but... by use of a minimap icon, the addon would open a double-paned window. Above the windows would be an area where you would create a button (for the name of the addon you wish to create the directory for). This created button would go into the left window, where when you press it, it 'opens/tabs' the right window where you enter the "/" commands by either hand or copy-pasting from chat. and stores it. ((I hope that made sense)).
2nd idea, (there is an addon that does this but it's so darn complicated to set up, I can't help but wonder why someone hasn't created a much simpler version).
Basically an auto-looter that picks up everything, then automatically destroys all grey items from your bags.{{why would anyone want this? well my main loots for all my other alts, so essentially just about everything white and up is usable in some way. but why pick up and destroy, as apposed to not picking it up at all? because the twinkingling carcasses of looted victims with grey items still in them, drives me nuts. and I'm sure I'm not the only one. lol}}
3rd idea, Or... perhaps... an addon that could simply turn that twinkle off wonce a carcass has been looted by you (even if it still has grey items in it).
4th, I'm inclined to think this one simply isn't possible due to blizz limitations... but I'd love an addon that could tell me how many people are logged onto my server as I play (maybe just refreshing it every 10-15 minutes or so, to reduce lag).
5th, a simple collapsable text window where you can make brief notes to yourself. I'm not sure how to describer it better than... I'm always finding I forgot to do something I meant to do when visiting a large city. I'd love to be able to write something like...
1) turn in SWQuest
2) get 2bolts wool
3) buy more *whatever*
4) visit MiningTrainer
5) upgrade Firstaid
6) check AH
...essentially a way to keep track of the things you need to do that aren't found in your quest log.
I have quite a few more ideas... but I'll wait and post them at a later time.
