You’re free to spend hundreds of hours creating your own quality of life levelling guides and continue to optimise and add features, provide support etc…

It’s not your right to have an addon to make the game easier to play for you you’re not entitled to it. They are providing a service and the addon and guides up to level 30 are free.

You’re not paying for the addon you’re paying for premium content inside the addon. People are allowed to be compensated for putting hundreds of man hours into their work.

I also support multiple addon developers on Patreon because they provide services I appreciate.

This shows appreciation to the developer of said guide/game/software/whatever. This is the spirit of piracy that Anazei is talking about.

No, you’re mistaken. Besides, the one sharing them is not the “pirate” as you think, it’s the person who actually was able to afford to buy the guides, share them with the “pirate”, which in turn then gets posted here. They’re the person who should be receiving the benefit.

As was said, people in certain countries and situations are unable to afford these guides, on top of a monthly subscription to the game. If anything, donations can go to the actual person sharing the guide, I never said that was the “pirate”.

Plus, RestedXP last time I checked do not trade in donations, so it’s either you pay the full amount, use the free guides, or use nothing at all. Piracy is about sharing with those not in a position as fortuitous as others, to allow them access as well, not submitting to the actual company charging full whack for the product.

So if one were say a music producer, bought Steinberg Cubase i.e. paying for the software, then all the third party amplifier/drum plugins i.e. addons that several people/teams work on for months to develop should come for free? Since someone already paid for the base product?

Don't you love that people support the devs I agree.
But wait they want it for free...?

Odd when someone thinks an addon and music software is comparable.

I am comparing add-ons and plugins.
Iam comparing a game and a music software.

Both are softwares developed by people who spent time on them.

I wonder how music software was developed as free and then plugins paid. Maybe that is new software to me.

The Music Software was paid
The plugins in question for the music software was paid
There were also free plugins

The game was paid
The addons in question for the game was paid
There were also free addons

This would be a fair comparison

Seems the addon is free not paid. If Paid goes against the TOS
Cannot go from paid to free.

Seems the Devs say the addon is free and the guides are paid. But that is not what was said.

Sure. You must be reading a different post from me then.

Also odd that the one that claims to have reported. They were the one that provided the files. Now that would not be true, would it. Probably because it was not them. They deleted their posts because the Devs found out. Because someone reported the one that was providing the guides. Now we know who that is.

Well the paid guides is what has been developed to plug-in into the addon.

But that doesn't even matter.

The discussion was about
The spirit of piracy and supporting developers

Are the guides developed by developers? Yes
Do people pirate them here for free? Yes
Do people enjoy the guides? Probably otherwise they would not be here.

If people enjoy the guides it is fine for them to donate to the developers of the guide.

Nothing more nothing less, there just is not anything more to it.

You know I could be wrong but the topic is

Not what I just read it is.

Please lets keep it civil. Now we are on the border of "rude behavior" again.

Anyways, how is the progress on the Rested XP guides going?

Lets stay on-topic as you suggested.
