Yeah, particularly with the appearance mods, they just get lost in it and lose any sense. I wouldn't be surprised if a few tried to enter the screenshot sweepstakes and got caught. :p

You joke, but no official word from SE, Nothing said officially about the billboards, the party went off without much of a hitch, so I bet Yoshi-P got the network team together and monitored numbers all night for a stress test to see that they need more than 1500 person slots in wards, a residence priority system, and how many travelers to locations and how the servers for those locations handled the load for their new cross DC travel.

Honestly, this is in part cause of the influx of WoW players, and they have no issues with running addons/mods. It's going to either be SE plants their feet firmly in the dirt and starts banning all their new player influx, or changes with the times and takes a more official stance on what kind of addons it would be willing to allow.

They're weighing their options and keeping an eye on things. I'm sure someone lowkey checked what was going on. We won't hear anything though, unless a third party confirms a ban or something.

You got the insider scoop? Or are you just talking completely out of your ass?

The former. I'm sure you could teach me how to do the latter.

I'm guessing Materials Usage License and TOS will end up with some updates with respect to public advertisement of player sponsored events.

There will probably also be clarification regarding sharing of datamined information regardless of the person responsible for the datamining.

It's probably not worth SE's time or expense to do more. Maybe there are some temp bans for those involved?

I don't think the modding community in general has anything to worry about. If it weren't for a few individuals screaming "hey, that's modded/datamined stuff", most of us in the community would have been ignorant of the details and would have forgotten what was on the billboard by the time Moonfire starts.

Somehow this is funny because people shouted it's datamined gear, while others don't know if it's really datamine or not, which means they spoiled those innocent people lol :D

They don't care. It's not a big deal, they'll have them taken down and let the game continue as normal.

I'm sure half the playerbase is eagerly awaiting the big announcement of total lockdowns on mods, RP and addons and SE to file massive lawsuits left and right so they can dig into some juicy drama and type long self-righteous rants about how all those things are evil and WoW ruined the game ...but it's not happening.

They have better things to do with their time, they'll address any legal issues with those involved and they're well aware a tiny handful of idiots with a billboard don't represent the playerbase.

"Oh no!!!! the people who reported something are the one in the wrong for spoiling something!"
Maybe, just maybe, don't datamine stuff. Yoshida just talked about it for DSR. Doesn't matter if it is a smaller situation datamining is dataming. Not the fault of those who report it and talk about it, it is entirely the fault of ppl who released unreleased content for their silly event.

As for what happens to the owners, beyond me, I'm not keeping up nor do I care to.
