Okay so look at it like this.
- Developer makes addon
- Addon is free
- Someone who isn’t the Dev makes additional “content” for that addon
- Their additonal “content” requires you to pay to access it.
- Addon is still free.
The developer isn’t creating a premium version, someone else is piggybacking off of their addon and asking players to pay if they want access to their “additional content”.
This is why Blizzard isn’t doing anything regarding these addons, people with the knowledge are creating custom version of things which range from TSM profiles, weakauras, guides and even UI profiles. This is what you’re stuck on, it’s not the developer of the addon that are charging others for this it’s a third party who has no influence over what happens in the addon.
Take Fojji for example, his class weakauras used to be free, now he’s decided to lock it behind a paywall with his patreon. How would Blizzard even enforce that? Weak Aura in of itself is just a big editing addon, it can do nearly anything you want it to and could likely be the only addon you’d ever need if not for the potential lag it’d likely cause. How can Blizzard stop someone like Fojji or BillisOnyxia from selling their Weak Auras/Profiles other than to just outright ban the addon.
If you’re suggesting that the addon is at fault and that yes it should get banned then you’d just be shooting the messenger and not even bothering to read the message.
You seem so stuck on the money that you don’t read the fine print, the addon is free and they’re not selling a premium version, just because someone else is doesn’t mean that they are and that they should be punished because of it.
You’re so obstinate about the fact that you’re wrong, and I know you’re wrong because Blizzard doesn’t do anything. Do you really think that the money that RestedXP makes is enough to entice Blizzard employees into not taking action? Do you also think that there’s similar actions with Zygors and others who sell WA’s etc? Or do you just think that if they act on them that RXP would have to go too?
Don’t answer, it was rhetorical.
