Re: Re: Bloated
Simply put, what was loved about Gearscore before was the simplicity. Install it, forget it. The bloating is the overkill not the overhead on system resources. I have RAM to spare until the cows come home. And if I can address Nobgul for a second... Why are you so uppity? No one else here is acting histerical. You are telling people that this isn't the place to argue about likes and dislikes of an addon and warning people, etc. Honestly, I saw no problem with what anyone said. I didn't see a single request for a nanny, either. Why so hostile? I would suggest that the forum is exactly where people should discuss their concerns, praise what they like, vent if they don't like it, etc. People like to feel free to debate or exchange ideas without the fear of Big Brother coming down on them to silence people who say things that they disagree with. Then you challenge Festin to show a report that shows less people have it installed at the same time as giving him a second and final warning to shut up or else. Show me a report that more people have it installed. You can't prove a negative and when you have a threat in one hand and a challenge in another, it's very bad form as a moderator. In fact, although anecdotal, I have personally seen people say that they no longer use Gearscore after it has been updated, because they don't like all the extra stuff it includes. I have not seen anyone say that they have just started using Gearscore since Cataclysm because they love the improvements. That's just what I have heard though. Based on that, the only conclusion that I can come to from a personal perspective is that less people are using it and I am sure that Festin is probably expressing his opinion based on similar experiences. So, ok, maybe we shouldn't be all angry. We don't have to use it. We just used to love it and now what we loved is gone. It may be the fault of tighter restrictions from Blizzard. I don't know for sure. But I know one thing, this was the only forum I could go to express that opinion where it would matter a hill of beans. There is a Gearscore Lite, right? Or am I wrong? Would it be possible to have a Gearscore Ultra Lite or one that acted solely as it did previously for those who prefer the old Gearscore, and then maybe the all bells and whistles, fancy schmancy, super scrum-dilly-uper uber version for people who like that one? |

The addon does save data, and settings, so that each time you load your settings are saved. If you notice your settings resetting each time you load the game, then something is wrong. |

I've been playing WoW since beta (over 6 years) and have never heard of Ten Ton Hammer, so you can see some of the consern there as well. |

Oh, GS4.0 will save data for players you scan, it just does it at a tiny fraction compared to GS 3x. The addon doesn't require an exe for anything except downloading information from playerscore.com. You can manually update it whenever you want, and you'll still get a notice in game when there is an update (As long as somebody else in your guild has the addon). The reason that this folder is required, is this folder stores your gearscore database. All these files are 100% easy to read text, and your free to make sure nothing malicious is occurring. The playerscore Updater is from Ten Ton Hammer, which has been a trusted member of the MMORPG community for more then 6 years. |

Secondly when i've had the playerscore updater tell me that it can't find the "WTF\Account\MyAccountName" folder on the laptop that I was running a 10 day trial account on (i'm not giving any .exe file that needs my WoW dir a chance to run on my main machine). Seems more and more that you're trying to get people's information with the .exe |

If we all kept only to things we know for fact we won't talk at all. All facts are our assumptions only. |

I'm going to reply then delete your comment Bloodykiller, as I'm afraid nobgul might pull out his ban hammer, and I don't want to see this happen to anyone.
This is possible to do. But you should suggest it be a feature, and not rant and rave about how terrible it is because its not a feature. I actually think this is a good idea and I'll make sure to find a way to make it happen. I disabled comments on curse, because they are as bad as youtube in that they spam hateful and non-constructive comments. Its easier if people post on our official forums as we have several people covering them, where only I am here posting on wowinterface. I care for everything that people tell me, but its hard to listen when they rant and rave. Constructive feedback is the best feedback. |

I found the hammer removal option, thanks.
This is, perhaps, as aesthetic issue, so take this as you will: The Playerscore UI is very jarring when brought into WoW. The frames look harshly different. This is an issue I also have with Carbonite, but I don't think they care. While there is an option to change the color of the border, would you also offer a skin that better matches the default UI?

Apparently my last message was not clear enough.
The comment section is for constructive feedback. I hate this addon is not constructive, and has no place here. I honestly could care less if you like it or not. The bottom line is we are not going to start a flame war. Also keep your comments to things you know for a fact and can backup making large assumptions and or speaking for other people is generally considered rude. @festin "That's why nowadays hardly anyone has GS installed anymore." Show me a report that says that less people have it installed. This is the 2nd and last warning.

And like you can see people consider your addon to be "heavy" cause it has some weird color schemes that makes your addon window stand away too much from rest of the interface making them think that all this weirdness had to be programmed. You just went different way than people expected. You dig more and deeper into inspected character while people would more appreciate seeing more synthetic numbers telling them which person in group/raid is geared ok, which one lacks gems/enchants etc. That's why nowadays hardly anyone has GS installed anymore. |
