I have a work friend who has recently gotten into WoW, and he has been using the Zygor guides and addon. Not something I'm very familiar with. He recently hear some noise around it being a bannable addon. Anyone familiar with Zygor and/or its legality? Basically, it's heavy-duty Quest Guide that optimizes your leveling path ... or alternatively, it's a Bradyguide ported into the game via lua. As a wownewb, he likes the fact that it keeps him from "wasting" in-game time wandering around looking for stuff.
Zygor's FAQs takes the position of:
Is this legal? Will my account get banned for using this guide?
Zygor Guides has been in business for over 3 years and not 1 customer has ever had their account banned for using our products. Some people are confused over how this is possible given Blizzards rules and policies which forbid the sale of addons. Zygor Guides is not in the addon selling business. We're in the guide selling business. The addons we create are available for free via our trial downloads. When a customer buys our guide they are not given a premium version of our addons. Instead, they are given access to our leveling guide in text format (ebook) which can then plug directly into our free addons. This seperation allows us to sell our digital guides and keep Blizzard happy.
Anyhow, anyone have any perspective/knowledge on this?
