HelpMePlay
Build and tailor an automated gaming experience that best fits your playstyle!
HelpMePlay is a World of Warcraft addon built to automate as many tasks in the game as possible. Players should free up their time vendoring items one-by-one, accepting/completing quests, and even selecting gossip options from NPCs.
All options are disabled by default! Use /hmp to open the options or configure a keybind!
Enter Azeroth, grab some ale, and let HelpMePlay take care of the heavy lifting. Read on to learn more!
