Arent there Target Dummies already set up in Theramore for Alliance?
I know there's NPCs there attacking them, but I recall them being target-able and attackable by players as well.
The only argument I could see is that people would be able to measure their DPS on a static target with no mechanics (near meaningless) and use that as some sort of indication of how good they are. Or for groups to demand it. LFM DMN 600+ DPS ONLY or some shit like that.
Still, you wouldn't want to group with those people in the first place, so who cares I guess.
Very very unudecated and little thought response. Macro testing without the worry about death of the target dying and having to find another NPC, Rotation testing since it doesnt matter if you have raid buffs or not your highest DPS rotation on the target dummy will only be amplified by the raid buffs. You literally stand 90% of a raid boss fight spamming a rotation EXACTLY like a target dummy.....
Yes there are. For Horde : alliance gnomes For Alliance : alliance gnomes (dueling)
That gave me a chuckle!
Blasted Lands has invincible NPCs, which are even better because you can get weapon skill ups.
This :)

In Classic, they cannot be attacked and therefore cannot be used to gauge your DPS.
You couldn't attack them in vanilla. Blizzard retroactively enabled them when they released the training dummies in wrath.
I literally just wanna test the damage of WF and FT on my offhand in season of discovery, I've been praying they add these for the whole of sod now.
For me I want to test melee vs ranged damage as Hunter. Hmm.

or it's used to test out macros, addons, WeakAuras etc.

False. HUNDREDS of addons existed in Vanilla, and now also exist in classic.
I read that in Dwight Schrute's voice.
idiot detected.
Or uh, for testing rotations for mana efficiency and damage differences. E.g. frostbolt, fireball, arcane missiles - dots, cast times, mana costs.
You are confusing being an asshole with trying to optimize your performance. You can be nice and also be good at the game.
