u/Ausseh

My first ever WoW addon in the wild, I have created a lot of addons for myself, but this is the first I thought was good enough to release into the wild, quite nervous to see the response but what the heck.

I made AussyLoot for myself with the help of AI in Midnight S1 and I found it useful for how I play the game, hopefully someone else finds it useful, if not no harm I'll just keep using it for myself.

Loot Tab

I use this to find what dungeons have the items with the correct stats I want. You can change class in the top left and spec of that class in the middle. It tells you your specs best stats for both hero talents (simming is always best though)

Loot filtered

This screen shows you which dungeon/raid boss has your specific stated items and what level keys you'll be doing and how much of an ilvl increase it would be.

Dream/Bis gear

This shows your BiS gear... which is much less exciting this season because of Blizzards changes and making 344/Venomcursed Cantrip items.

You can import your BiS List from this screen, also can import your M+ / Raid talents.

I also added Simc export for your current Dream gear, so you can compare with real numbers against your currently equipped gear.

Voidcore Rolls

This is your Voidcore rolls, it auto marks what you roll on for the week and what item is permantely removed from your future rolls, I found this handy in S1 before blizz made the changes they did, still could be useful to some.

Progress throughout Season 2

I only added this in Season 2. I wanted something to be able to track my progress throughout the season, I'm planning to improve this one a lot as this is new and I haven't had much time

Crest tab

This one is the biggest issue I have had, In Season 1 it was perfect JUST for me, but as I was thinking of letting others use my addon, it became a nightmare. As it stands, it's perfect for me, I added quite a few options from Season 1 which makes it more useful to others beside me but still needs a ton of work. I was going to make it a Coming soon screen but I think it's in a decent enough spot.

------------------------

That's it, that's the addon I made for myself during S1. Lot of hard work has gone into this, I hope it shows, majority of people won't find it useful, but if even one person does I'd be happy.

I posted one 7 days ago, you can read it here -> Reddit post

I had to post another because a lot of misinformation was going around, especially from one youtube video that came out a day after I posted and basically used my data incorrectly.

This time I thought I'd show more data that was used and different type of strictness towards the rules of each set and some data on the most egregious boosters.

Clean(Strict) - No signs of boost, logs match their level of play and no piloting detected

Partly Carried - Signs of a few keys being boosted near the end as the cut off kept climbing

Carried - Clear signs most of their top runs were boosted with logs backing it up

Carried + Repeat group - Being carried by the same group in multiple keys

Feel free to ask questions about the data or if you want some specific data that isn't down below.

Final results, both regions - Strictest version

Tier	US	EU
Clean	68.7%	69.2%
Partly carried	14.1%	13.9%
Carried	10.9%	8.2%
Carried + Repeat group	13.9%	12.2%

By bracket

All 8 scoring runs came from groups above their level

Top 20 four-player groups by how many different people they took through that were much lower than the four man premade / when the 5th needed the key and the 4 man didn't

Any advice?

I have 21 Karma or something, few contributions , I tried making my first ever post on r/competitivewow and it was removed due to reddit filters, which I know isn't the mods of the sub doing it, it's reddit's automated system, not sure what to do, feel like my account is in good standing just very inactive/lurking only for a long long long time

Every timed key on both regions, all 21 weeks of the season. 11 million runs, 27k chars in the top 1%.

For each of the 8 highest runs I compared the key level the char played at against the level the rest of the group normally plays at. 3+ levels above you generally means carried especially if done in quick succession of each other.

I was very cautious with false positives so the numbers are generally the floor, the ones where my system could back it up.

Results

Tier	US	EU
Clean	81.8%	70.1%
Partially carried	6.8%	15.5%
Carried	9.5%	12.1%
Carried by a group that sells	1.3%	1.5%

7.3% of US and 7.4% of EU had 4 or more runs carried by friends/guildies/boosters.

206 players got all 8 of their cut off runs inside a single 24-hour period.

What the cutoffs would be without them

Take the carries away and those players sit lower with their real score, so everyone below moves up.

Bracket	Now	Without carried	Would gain it
US title	4192.48	4183.65	55
US 1%	3924.88	3907.21	1,251
EU title	4217.44	4207.36	88
EU 1%	3974.46	3944.62	2,164

143 people across both regions don't have a title that would otherwise be theirs. 3,415 are missing the 1%. The score gaps are small because the ladder is packed solid up there, 2,164 EU players fit inside 30 rating points.

Carried players actually play themselves beween +12 to +16.

Carried means the group was well above the player's level, not that they paid for a boost but in the end it doesn't matter if it was paid/free, it still happened.

I thought these numbers would be a lot worse, but like I said I made it very conservative. I was one of the many trying to blame these "buyers" for missing out on the cut off in a few days

I will be collecting data every 4 hours from now until season ends and I might do another post with full season data.

My other reason for doing this is so I could use an addon to tag the buyers so I can avoid them in Season 2

Edit: My question to you guys/girls, did you expect numbers around this level, or did you expect much less/more?
