Feature Suggestion: Download Reminder

[Gogo1951]

It would be useful if clicking on the person who didn't have TranqRotate would send them a message asking them to get TranqRotate. (=

Something like...

Hey, I noticed you don't have TranqRotate installed yet. You can get it on CurseForge. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tranqrotate

Hey!

Thanks for the suggestion, I quite like the idea but I have several concerns:

• Sending a whisper with a single clic on a player frame may result in unwanter whispers from time to time. Something like a shift-clic on the blind icon sounds safer to me. I could add the shortcut hint in the tooltip.
• I'd rather keep the addon agnostic of the addon provider which may be hard in this case. Sending the links to all available providers is certainly too much. I will think about this point

[Gogo1951]

I understand about add-on providers. Man how I miss Ajour!

But yeah, I think everyone sane realizes CurseForge is just the default place. Even if you use another tool, it's still pulling from CurseForge. So meh, that's just reality.

Anyway, most hunters I've seen just have the add-on already. But every so often you come across one who doesn't. And typically it's a new hunter who just leveled up. Helping them get better at being a hunter is worth a little extra risk of the occasional spam message, I think. (=

Maybe a little + button next to the name?

[Gogo1951]

Ok, how about this (=

Have the "Print Rotation" link, output like:

/r Tranquilizing Shot order provided by TranqRotate.
/r 1 - HunterName1
/r N - HunterNameN 
/r Backup 1 - HunterName2 (Missing TranqRotate!)
/r Download TranqRoate on CurseForge. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tranqrotate

It then kinda bloats the chat for people which already have it
What do you dislike about my first suggestion with the shift clic on the blind icon ?

[Gogo1951]

Yeah that would work too!

I wouldn't worry about things being verbose. Verbose is clear. Verbose is good.

And never be afraid to advertise your work. (=

Hey!

As discussed, I finally don't think I want to go this way.

I understand the idea of making it easier to communicate information about the addon to players but I don't think an automated addon message should replace a genuine player interaction
Depending on the sender and receiver the message may feel weird / not worded the best
Not to mention several other problematic cases, like several hunts sending the automated whisper or someone sending it several time
