They ask for money to make looting suggestions? WTF.
They use verbatim all the art and itemization to do it.

Nope, not illegal.

As long as they don't ask for donations in game, like Oqueue did, then it's perfectly legal.

If I knew of anyone who paid for that, I wouldn't know whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

Charging money for an addon is against the rules set out by blizzard. Originally Posted by FemaleGoblinMage

I don't pay for AMR, or even use it, but eh it's $1/month. The sales tax that I pay on my WoW sub each month is more than that. Originally Posted by Issalice

I don't pay for AMR, but some people actually want to support the developers and creators of content they enjoy so they will continue to provide those goods and services. Originally Posted by Herbert

Because it's convenient? Enter the proper stat weights, hit the bottom, and off you go. And the other services that the site offers is convenient as well. If you want the best gear but you can't eyeball which trinket is best or you just can't remember, it's no better or worse than any other resource that tells you what's best.

Things like AMR are a resource that are there to be used, so ... use 'em. A tool is only as good as the person wielding it, most of the issues that people take with AMR's stat weights are the fault of the user, not the tool.

Mr. Robot is a cancer to the community and only encourages players to not learn. It tells them what to do, and allows them to circumvent learning WHY they are doing it.
This is a money grab they are trying to net the worst of the addicted with.
It's not illegal, it's just very VERY sad.Let's make America GREAT again. Trump 2016.
The community whined and bitched and cried, they stamped their little feet and demanded faster expansion releases. They don't get to complain now that expansions are shorter.

I subbed so that I could easily update my gear from my bags, bank and on my character. Considering I was maining Ret, had gear for Prot as a byproduct and had Holy stuff as a far off thing to try, and I was just farming LFRs for offspecs with TI items being made every other rare. It was a matter of time spent pratting around individually selecting items or just have a tool that selects from what I have available? Considering it was about as expensive a month's sub, it's really not something that's a waste. Originally Posted by Tonath
