As somone that has bought all of TuanHa's and Millz combat routine packs (yes I like alts) and BGFarmer I can say I am happy with my purchase. I like WoW, I always have, but I don't have the time to do all the mindless bits and the grinding of gear. My fear will always be that they will not be supported into the future. The most I can hope for is that if they stop supporting one product or another they post it all up on the HB forums so the community can continue work on it.
if there were more guides and the like they'd see a lot more people willing to make the content especially for routines, the last guide was written about 2-3 years ago all the restrictions such as not being allowed to post arena routines don't help either.
I'm happy to pay for quality shit. I also donate when it's not required. It's important to reward people's hard work and unfortunately the internet is full of gypsy cunts who just take take take. The one thing that really grinds my gears is people who release a paid product and then ignore it / slow on support etc. If you're going to charge people, your paid products should take priority over up and coming projects that aren't released yet.
Let me get this straight, the problem - in my opinion - is not the fact that i have to pay money for this, but that i am not able to look at / modify the source code according to me needs, without reverse engineering the whole bunch which takes (again, for me) lots of time and is mostly not worth it. If it would not be closed source, "they" could not sell it, which makes pre-compiled stuff mandatory for "monetising" aspects. That, in fact, is what really grinds my gears; the inability to modify the source to my needs. Furthermore, without looking at the source, i have no way of checking certain aspects a keyloggers, backdoors, ircbots, anything. my 2 cents tl;dr paying is not the problem, closed source is
I have no problems with paid cr: all tuanha and leaves is really awesome work about coding and pvp things. but plz, let us test releases, make beta for limited time or smthng like this, 'cuz got some problems with last release of Mirablis rlz and bad things - noone is telling us before purchase thats all paid crs are eu-es clients limited" and some times developers just ignore your problems and questions. Still there is some great people who do "till now" amazing crs and you can check YourRaidingBuddy. Yeah, it's class limited, and there is now "fashin and shiny" settings, but in the end you'll get really great results for PvE not compared to any other crs.
