What is your experience using oQueue on your bot account?

[m0rf0]

I know there is a lot of buzz on the addon, and it actually seems like a good idea. I only use HB for leveling toons from time to time, and generally play by hand and sometimes use Tyrael for a rotation. The idea of being able to get access to a whole list of premade groups looks really appealing, but I don't like to share my battle.net tag with anyone because of the high exposure you get. I will eventually level more toons and when I level it's usually leaving to work and letting the bot in 4-5 hour sessions straight away.

What is your experience? You're using it without problems? Do you have any advice on how to stay on a low profile? Do you avoid it completely?

Good, Im not paranoid having people on B-tag I just remove them after Im finished with the group.

I've used oque quite a bit and once you finish the group your usually removed from the battle tag by the leader. Sometimes you will have randoms that are part of the mesh to keep the list updated but you can always remove them i've never had them message me randomly if it wasnt for a group that i already signed up for ahead of time.

Using oQueue on my main account, and that's it.
No need for groups while leveling on the bot account. Dungeonbuddy + Questing = level 90.

Result from addon site "This project is in moderation."
I have heard of the addon and never used it. I don't want someone to know my btag so LFG in chat works for me.

I used to use it a lot, just use the option to remove oq added friends before you log each night. You have no real need to keep them in your friendslist.

I would highly reccomend against using this on any bot account.

OQ automatically adds battletag friends to your bnet, and sadly there are many players out there who just hate botters and will report you just for the fun of it. If you are afking for any length of time and one of these battletag friends sees youve been farming for x # of hours, it may come back to bite you.

In addition any addon running increase the CPU usage of wow, therefore if youre running multiple bots ideally you want zero addons running for maximum cpu efficiency.

That being said, OQ is a great addon and I use it on my main on a regular basis.

Since using oQueue my battle.net in game service drops frequently.

Interesting to note that Blizzard are introducing a change to the Addon API that will effectively screw oQueue functionality.

Beyond all of that, yeah it's a cool addon that was an easy way of finding Flex and World Boss raids. Now I've moved to Normals and HC I stopped using oQueue unless I need a world boss.

Nice comments about removing oQueue battletag friends that may see you online for hours at end without replying. And on that note I did remove everyone (that I hadn't yet) so thanks for the tip!
