The Judd Alert add-on is a life-saving tool designed specifically for Hardcore Classic World of Warcraft players who value their precious playtime. In a game mode where one wrong move could cost you hundreds of hours of progress, the add-on warns you about one of the greatest threats to your survival: players with names resembling "Judd."

By scanning nearby players and alerting you with a bold, red banner and sound effect whenever a "Judd" is detected, this add-on gives you a fighting chance to avoid the chaos that often follows such individuals. Whether in a group, a dungeon, or simply passing by, Judd Alert ensures you're aware of their presence and can take precautionary measures.

Why You Need Judd Alert

Players like Judd are notorious for their uncanny ability to wreak havoc in the most unexpected ways:

Accidental Pet Pulls: Judd might send their pet charging into a pack of 10 elites, pulling the entire room and wiping your group before you even realize what’s happening.
Unnecessary Aggro: Known for spamming random spells or mishandling crowd control, Judds tend to pull mobs that were safely ignored.
Miscommunication: Expect Judds to "accidentally" trigger events like starting boss fights while the healer is drinking or grabbing a quest item that triggers a boss fight.
Unpredictable Behavior: Whether it’s using their hearthstone mid-fight, failing to run from AoE, or aggroing additional mobs while fleeing, Judds are a wildcard you cannot afford to ignore.

How It Works

The add-on scans nearby players (group members, mouseover targets, and nameplates) for names that contain "jud" (e.g., Judd, Judstorm, Judge).
When a potential Judd is detected:
- A banner with the text "WARNING! JUDD DETECTED!" appears at the top of the screen, accompanied by a sound alert and Judd image.

How This Saves You

Awareness: By knowing a Judd is nearby, you can adjust your strategy, maintain safe distances, and prepare for unexpected mishaps.
Prevention: Avoid grouping with Judds in high-stakes situations or let your group leader know to take extra precautions.
Peace of Mind: No more anxiety about sudden wipes caused by random players' poor decision-making.
