In front of hundreds of thousands of viewers between twitch and youtube, a leveling addon that has features locked behind a 25-30 dollar paywall is being heavily promoted.
This is something so egregiously against the TOS that even China has cracked down on it heavily in their region and closed people’s accounts for even entertaining them yet here in NA and on EU such an addon is being promoted during a Blizzard promoted and sanctioned tournament.
At least Nohitjerome is telling it like it is on his stream about these influencers and the tournament. Great entertainment crashout.
People will literally cry about anything.
yeah it’s ridiculous that china is cracking down on this better than the west 
Now you know why the dungeon leveling got nerfed.
nonsense and off topic
Anyone who pays for a leveling addon in WOW has money to burn I guess. There’s a built in Quest Tracker now and add in Questie for free if you want.
it’s not nonsense. Paid addon give kickbacks but less addon sales if people aren’t questing, so non questing pathways to level get a huge nerf = more revenue from kickbacks. Pretty simple really.
my understanding is the addon goes into much much further details, optimal leveling paths and which quests to accept, which to turn in and in what order, which quests to skip…it even goes so far as to tell you when to just die and spirit rez becuase it saves large amounts of time turning in quests etc etc. It’s the most optimized pathway to leveling a person can find and we all know how much wow players like to min/max.
Which part of the ToS is being violated?
Nothing this guy loves to post weak troll bait
Go make your own then. I made my own ui and leveling addon in a day with got lol.
But I still use rested xp and am thankful it exists
Can’t stand that guy and his clickbait videos, but can you elaborate on his crash out? Might tune in to watch that 
Tournament on beta was such a silly idea haha
Also the adsin is free
The guide itself is what is paid for. Just like if you paid for one of those guide books for a Zelda game back in the day
The people making the guides put work in to make them and deserve a few bucks for them.
Sorry youre poor?
Summed up. He got DQ by tipsout by going out of dueling bounds against savix. He started talking about RMT and dark money being poured into the tournament and how tips is a scum bag and other stuff.
To my understanding the addon itself is an optimized leveling path that tells you which quests to grab and which to skip. The addon itself is free.
People can then write guides to be used in the addon. Those guides are pay to access.
It’s sparked debate on the topic because addons cannot sell a premium. But you can write and sell leveling guides. And Blizzard ruled it counts as the later.
I mean Jerome and tips are both trash so no big loss there. But if he broke tourney rules and got dq’d for it, that sounds like a him problem.
Stuff like Rested XP and Zygor do have optimized paths. That’s what your paying for but does it matter if you get to 60 a few hours faster? If that’s important you pay the cost. If not you use the in game tools.
It’s like the old Brady Guides we used to buy at Gamestop. That’s how they get around the TOS. The addon is actually free but you’re paying for the data. It’s a bit sketch but also within the rules.
the “adsin” is useless without the paid guides so what benefit are you getting out of defending this practice?
