ReactionAdd event ignores old messages even if the bot is running on a bot account

[meldsza]

The code at
https://github.com/hydrabolt/discord.js/blob/master/src/client/actions/MessageReactionAdd.js
Ignores messages that haven't been already cached. So if I want to listen to message reactions that were sent before my not restarted, I would not be able to.

Further details:

• discord.js version: master
• node.js version: 7.8
• Operating system: CentOs
• Priority: 5/10

I found this issue while running code on a bot account

• I have also tested the issue on latest master, commit hash:

Indeed, you will have to fetch any messages not in cache for events to fire.

This is currently the expected behaviour, #1376 is on the roadmap for v12, which will allow you to receive previously uncached reaction events with a client setting.

Is there a separate branch for v12 i can contribute to?

[Drahcirius]

Master branch is v12. Contributions are welcome, but I will be submitting a PR for it soon.
