Anything other info on the GUI is a waste of time for me, the average user. I am only interested in the version numbers, the name of the addon, and a short description of what it does.


Personally, I don't need to see the authors name. I cannot find it at the moment, but I got the link for WoWMatrix in the same thread along with the few other non Ace supported addon downloader over on the Ace forums.Īnyone can get the addon authors contact info from right inside of the addon folder, or by checking the About feature in game for whatever addon they are checking on. Keep trying though and you'll get through eventually. I can only imagine they get hundreds if not thousands of emails regarding their product, so it doesn't surprise me if they have not answered your emails. Hell, I don't even see any huge ads in my face other than the well placed small ads for the leveling/gold making guides.Īs for them not answering your emails, lets go back to how much advertising and site hits they get. I see a subtle donation link on the FAQ page which it cool because it's not shoved in my face from the main page.

It's advertised as free on the official Apple web site and on CNet Download, which gives them heaps of advertising (I can only imagine how many hits that site gets because of this) and yet they are not charging a dime for the software. However, I have never been charged a dime to use WoWMatrix and cannot find anywhere on the site where they force anyone to give them cash. I fully understand and respect your views as they are very valid.

Prior to requesting that they remove access to my addons from their service, I inquired as to how their service works, and recieved the following: If you're downloading an addon that's hosted on WoWInterface, through WoWMatrix, the file is sent to your computer from WoWInterface's servers.

WoWMatrix doesn't pay the storage bills or the bandwidth bills for the addons you download through its program. WoWMatrix makes money off of providing access to addons it doesn't host. No similar understanding is attached to WoWMatrix.Ĥ. While the erstwhile WoWAce suffered from this problem to a lesser degree, it was generally understood that everything on WoWAce should be considered beta. They'll just download an addon, deem it broken, and tell their friends that "Addon X sucks, don't use it". Users who find and download an addon through WoWMatrix will never see that warning. On a release site, an author can place a big, bold warning at the top of the description stating than an addon is under development, currently in beta status, is not yet complete, and/or may be unstable. WoWMatrix doesn't show the author's description of an addon anywhere. This means that users who download an addon through their program have no way to give feedback to the author, or report problems they may encounter.ģ. WoWMatrix doesn't show an addon's real download URL anywhere. They are making money off of providing access to an addon, and they can't even spare a few pixels of screen space to give its author nominal credit?Ģ. WoWMatrix doesn't show an addon author's name anywhere. Why? Here are some things to think about :ġ. However, as an addon author, the concept bothers me greatly, and I have actually requested that they stop making my addons available through their program. I personally know many people who use it, including my roommate.
#WOWMATRIX ERROR UPDATE#
But I just felt like sharing this with people if you guys did not know.I'm sure many of you use the WoWMatrix program to update your addons. But it has a ton of them and new addons are added all the time. Wowmatrix does not have every addons from Curse or Wow Interface or other sites you use to get addons. It makes keeping my addons up to date easy and saves me time. Now, I'm not sure if it's worth putting on the main post or promoting it, but I like it. If there is an update it will alert you which addons need to be updated and with one click all of them will be updated.
#WOWMATRIX ERROR INSTALL#
When you start wowmartix it scans all the addons that you have installed (even if you did not use wowmatrix to install them) and searches the wowmatrix database to check for updates. I personally do not use this to install addons. It allows the user to easily install addons by searching them in the wowmatrix database and clicking one button. Unless I just read over it -.- There is a program called wowmartix. Hello! Very nice list of addons you have provided us, I thank you very much! I haven't seen one thing though.
