Subject: Remember, addons are unsupported! |
| |
Just so everyone remembers, customizng the game's interface is COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED. Blizzard may make changes to the API at any time without any regard to how they affect third party addons. Extending the game in new and interesting ways is a bonus, but Blizzard does NOT support any third party addons.
I only post here because I care about the community, and I try to provide a few new features for addons each patch, and give feedback to the designers when something interesting pops up. This is not part of my job. I am not a community manager, I am not dedicated to adding UI features or supporting addons.
Now, I have to get back to work.

Q u o t e:
I just wish there was some easier way of determining whether some addon was "against the spirit of the game" without having to wait for a patch to break it. I could, I suppose, ask a GM about each AddOn that might be bad, but that does get tiring for all concerned.
I really, really, don't want to start using a cool AddOn, and then after I've gotten used to it, be told that it's completely against the spirit.
Who do I ask for a definitive answer?
The designers are working on a document exactly to solve this. I'm not sure when it'll be done, since they're also busy working on content for upcoming patches. Of course this will be a living document, since the designers will not be able to imagine in advance everything our customers can think of. :)[ post edited by slouken ]
