Many addons also rely on combat log. Do you want to play arenas without working addons?
The combat log cannot be disabled server-side.
I might be wrong but I think it's technically possible, at least partially, since since some spell casts by bosses, that should have been there and have been detectable in other ways, have been missing from combat log before.Quote:

1) Remove cross-realm, the vast majority of scripters are from Blackrock. You can't stop them, if they get banned they just recreate another account/character in an instant.
2) Delete the characters of the scripters from the other realms as soon as you have a valid proof. At the moment they just get a slap on the wrist with a short temporary ban.
Implement these 2 and 99,9% of scripters/cheaters would disappear from the scene.
Implement this and piss off 99.9% of the server because you and perhaps a handful of others are complaining about the combat log which so many things within the game, as well as pve addons, depend on for displaying information to the player during gameplay. Does it suck that cheaters use it to script? Yes. Don't like it? Blame Blizzard for the game being designed around it.Quote:

The combat log is an addon, everything that is an interface in the game is technically an addon, and they all register events. So if we disable these events then nothing will have this data available. Want to disable UNIT_SPELLCAST_START? Guess what? Cast bars everywhere are now broken, including your own.Quote:

This is the general concept of pretty much every multiplayer game with a central server or servers that everyone connects to. There's a lot more logic applied to how this is handled but that's a whole other topic and a long one at that.Quote:
