First, Sebbs relisted his profiles.

You have a valid argument about how mods immediately close wts threads, yet that is essentially what we are going to with encrypted profiles. I definitely think some of the user content is worth paying for. The real question is why doesn't minion pay them? They are vastly improving the marketability and value of their product and they are doing it for free. By requiring new users to buy the bot, then purchase profiles that are essential for operation, they are only discouraging new users.

That being said, I would be hard pressed to call a profile essential. If someone wants to release a profile that will quest 1-50, doing all side quests, etc, that would be something that would hold value for me. I might pay a little extra. I doubt anyone is trying to make a living off writing profiles. That being said throwing them some beer money, or helping to cover their botting costs isnt really asking a whole lot. If people would be more willing to donate a little bit, these things wouldn't be happening.

Anyway, I tend to agree that it is in bad taste to ask for donations. Kinda reminds me of those fuckwad salvation army people around the holidays.
