Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
Season 4... Just old dungeons and new ilvl?
What's the state of PvP like today?

DBM is set to drop below even being sustainable as full time work starting next month (it’s already been iffy for a while now). Can blame state of shadowlands and recent state of blizzard.
Can’t really blame users being unhappy with game, or blizzard, or bobby. Do what you feel.

Deadly Boss Mods development is sputtering; blames state of SL and Blizzard

BigWigs is better anyway.
If I don't respond to something you tagged me in, assume one of two things.
1) Your post was too stupid to acknowledge, or
2) Your post is cringe and not worth replying to.
Alternatively, if it happens a lot I probably have you blocked due to one of the above things. Thank you.

Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time DBM development has been on the edge, ready to jump before? Now the blame is on the expansion and the company?
I guess thank goodness the biggest of wigs is a thing.

TFW people tie their IRL work to a video game and expect it to always be stable and safe.
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

Hm, I alway assumed this was some community driven open source thing. Always surprising to find out that even the biggest addons just have a single significant developer.

Feel like he does this once an expansion. It's the DBM version of "If everyone reading donated $5 we'd hit our goal in 30 minutes." Originally Posted by Gehco

Does this mean I can finally update DBM without having to worry about it turning itself off for awhile?

I'm surprised he even continues to develop it.
Its been what, 10 years or more with that addon?
I'd be burnt out and done after 5 years tops.

The game would be better off without addons such as DBM to begin with, let it die.
If Blizzard wants to make complicated encounters they need to do a better job with the ingame engine and not expect the players to rely on 3rd party software.
Sick of bossfights being complicated for the sake of them being complicated instead of being actually fun to do.Subarashii chin chin mono

When the reason for him posting this is hardly anything other than a desperate plea for money from the community and one that he's done multiple times in the past it's hardly cynical to characterize his motives as less-than-scrupulous. Originally Posted by Soon-TM

It's amazing how often you guys miss the point. Originally Posted by Soon-TM

Addon developers require money to continue keeping the stuff up to date. As monetary supporters quit WoW because they no longer like the game, they stop giving money to DBM (and eventually, BigWigs will go the same way) they're not able to keep addons up to date.
And as an added bonus, some addon developers have just straight up jumped ship and are now developing addons for FFXIV ACT.
As WoW loses players, addon developers will over time stop supporting addons. Even the big ones. Because it takes manpower and money to make these things happen. This isn't a "WOW BAD", despite your inability to recognize it as anything but. This is "Hey, WoW is in a bad state, people are leaving, we're losing monetary support, and this is going to continue to go downhill as long as our supporters continue to quit the game."
BigWigs stans might be happy for now, but once their monetary support dries up, I hope you have fun with the addon community floundering.2014 Gamergate: "If you want games without hyper sexualized female characters and representation, then learn to code!"

XIV has fuckall for addon support and is apparently the bestest MMO ever, so maybe we don’t need addons all that much. Originally Posted by Cthulhu 2020
