Hi guys,
First off, I apologise for perhaps digging up something you may wish to not discuss again. I recently read the topic "Why WoWMatrix is bad..." and found myself very much sided with the feelings of the mod authors. I'm not a mod author myself, but certainly an avid user of them.
I regularly listen to 'The Instance' podcast and on a recent episode there were a couple of quick remarks about how they loved WoWMatrix and so I felt compelled to send them an email just directing them to that topic and why WoWMatrix is seen as an unethical program which isn't complimentary to the development and distribution side of mods. I don't know if they'll discuss it on the show or not because the new one hasn't come around yet but I found that a discussion is already underway on their forums and I've been involved in it a fair bit.
I'm in no way nominating myself as a spokesperson or anything like that, I've linked to a couple of topics on this website to explain why WoWMatrix is unethical and my personal opinion of it.
At the start of the "Why WoWMatrix is bad..." topic it was explained how WoWMatrix doesn't display author names or descriptions of files, and since then I believe they have now implemented that, but the issue of bandwidth of course still remains. So I'm wondering what the general feeling is on WoWMatrix now? Do authors still feel just as upset about WoWMatrix as always? I imagine WoWInterface staff would still feel just as annoyed about bandwidth issues?
The link to the topic is
here for your interest. Apologies again if I'm digging up something you'd rather not talk about.
