I've discussed the LUA usage with some of the core developers and they(we) determined that there shouldn't be any risks considering what's being executed is executed by addons and macros nearly all the time.I just want to chime in after looking over quite a few of the profiles. Do not get me wrong It looks like phenomenal work and a lot of people are happy but. Running all the LUA code that is in these profiles is traceable.
One thing that would make me uneasy is that you have LUA code to cast spell by ID before almost every runlikehell behavior. this is fine and dandy if you have the spell....but if you do not you are requesting to cast a spell that is not in your spell book.....a normal human player would not do this. A deathknight would not try to cast burst of speed or sprint or dash. That is just my thought on all of these profiles. Possibly putting in an if statement as to what class we are and then casting class specific movement spells i feel would be a lot better.
That is just my thought.
If anything, it'll just look like an addon running simple calculations or a "universal" speed buff macro being spammed by the user.
However, if the spell casting does pose an issue, we could always condition each one. xD
The only potential risk is that we figured that if Blizzard were to catch on to which storage names are being used to calculate the GPH/GPM/etc - and link them back to these profiles.
Which currently the names are very generic and would be too problematic for Blizzard to trace considering innocent people would potentially be targetted more often than a botter.
