So each addon user with your addon will stress the server +1 due to that where it only should do this as they manually open the campaigns normally (that's how ZOs designed it and how the server expects it to happen. Your additional +1 will double/tripple/... based on done reloaduis and event_add_on_loaded firing + 1) the stuff at least for these users, which sums up in total at the server's "needed answers" for your queries).
At best: Nothing we should worry about. But your addon is only 1 of many, and you never know how many users will install and use it. You always need to keep that "sum of queries that addons will raise at the server" in mind.
At worst: Ths behavior will "just because it was possible" will lead to an API change and lock down of these methods, like the guild history, guild messages and other stuff already was due to "only 1 quick...whatever" producing server lag/problems.

Ok I have it working good but I won't use it that way and will trigger it when users close the alliance war menu, that way it will be no added load.
Thanks.
