Yeah paying for automatic updates is ok it is just the actual addons can not be charged for.
I didnt say it had anything to do with the managers charging.
Xaekeon asked for a guide on how to update the addon himself. Since I dont know how to in preson update the addon I made him a 2 step guide on how to download the forked version of the addon that was created to spite the original author.
I also dont know how to make overwolf install from a URL which is the information I have. I provided a way to get the information the best I can. If you dont like my help dont use it.
Hate to break it to you but Blue posts come from actual Blizz employees passing on actual Blizz information .
You should read the document you linked again.
That API Terms of Use doesn’t apply to addons since the document talks of API keys , websites and server daemons none of which addons use or can access inside of game.
Thanks for the info .It came up when I was doing a search for a policy on add ons and was very similar to what was posted in regards to the addon tos .
Lol you use addons?
lol you don’t???
This game is absolutely unplayable without addons.

This is wrong, I addressed this.
If you really wanted to you could make that WA yourself.
You can’t make this data that is missing, only way to get it is by paying the developer for it.
Also you can make the map yourself. Takes like… 5 minutes and a tiny bit of dungeon knowledge? Not only that but you can copy maps from youtubers who run +10s all the time.
I have checked out this addon. Works fine.
No one is saying the addon doesn’t work and you can draw on the maps all you want.
There is data locked behind a wall, core info the addon has had for years taken away with the latest version, that you can’t add yourself unless you pay the developer, this is the issue with the pay wall to features the addon provides/has provided.
You could technically make the missing data yourself yea, just like you can write your own weakauras. And to the person you replied to, yes, premium WAs would definitely fall under the same scrutiny.
No this is wrong, you’re talking about actually editing the addon code itself sense it’s open source. This is completely different then buying someone’s WA. You’re getting that WA from a third party who used the WAs addon as it’s released in that version of the addon.
This would be comparable to if WAs the addon doesn’t work at all unless you paid for a line of code that unlocks its features. Or you can edit the code and add a line of code to make it work. Or wait form someone else to do this and upload it to github (like we’ve been seeing 
) This shouldn’t be a thing an addon developer or a published addon should be allowed to do because of ToS.
This is clearly a move to make money off of Blizzard products. Again not the same as buying a WA import/profile. Two different things.

Well if you visit some twitch streams, they already only release UI and WA settings to “subscribers”. So that is already happening.
The rest of the planet outside the US, who managed covid more appropriately. That’s who.
Because it shows you the %'s per mob and allows you to create Routes for M+.
Yeah but we did mythic+ before it existed just fine. What it was really intended for was the super hardcore teams that are trying to count every second and not waste any killing a couple percent more than they need. The average team finished with more than a few minutes left as it it.

It’s not for “hardcore” teams. It’s so that you’re not wasting time just pulling stuff and helps you actually time your keys.
You don’t need to be “hardcore” to reduce your mistakes and your time wasted, in a timed dungeon.
When teams are finishing with several minutes to spare, pulling an extra pack here or there wouldn’t break them. Be efficient is one thing but this mod is intended to ensure there is zero wasted time. Which is far more important for the very high tier keys then the average player will be doing.
It doesn’t matter if you’re “average” or “hardcore”… It’s about timing a dungeon.
If you’re wasting time pulling extra mobs for no reason and you have no idea what %'s you need then the addon helps you. It is for any level of player.
You are missing the point. Without the mod most keys would still be timed, they would just take a minute longer because you slightly over did the percentage. I mean this tool came out a year into BFA and people were timing keys just fine. Yes, reducing excessive pulls is helpful but it’s not like people were pulling entire dungeons before this either.
Either way, it doesn’t really matter. There is a clone of the mod already out there and if you know how to use github you could still get the map data yourself.
