First off thanks for the linkage to my blog!

Second, I respect what you are saying about the tooltips that link to Wowhead and Allakhazam. I tried looking into an alternative like linking directly from the WoW Armory or WoWDigger but had no luck. So, tonight I wrote a suggestion on the WoW Suggestion board asking they provide lite HTML like Allakhazam or a js file like Wowhead. Hopefully they will consider it. If you want to check it out you can go here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=9E3A2FF95BAE40BC134C757E74A3A289?topicId=3159756367&postId=31593820538&sid=1#0

Well, it’s your choice, even if I think it’s a bit on the extreme!

You know, it may just be. On the other hand, I’ve spent enough time telling people venting their discontent to vote with their pocketbooks, so it is time I start being consequent with stuff I really feel strongly about. Yes, wowdigger has less of polish so far than the other sites (though their feature to embed a character into a website appears unique), but so far, I can work around the inconvenience. And there’s also lootables.com which has some interesting features worth investigating further, and they too are dead against gold selling. Which is enough both for my own purpose and for the blog. Everyone should find the right balance between need, beliefs and convenience, and if your balance is different than mine, who am I to criticize you? It just feels like the right thing to do for me. A blog is a soapbox, though, and I am self-centered enough to proseltyze a bit on the matter.

Don’t know about functions to disable *specific* sounds in game, so I guess we’ll have to live with it!

But I can understand the annoyance (BTW: Thanks for that add-on! Been wanting to look for one for ages but have been lazy: I’ll let you know when I download and install it, what line to remove for the sound effect!)

I personally like Wowhead because, of all I’ve found so far, is the one with less “old” garbage *and* the most complete filtering options. I can pinpoint what I want in a few clicks. I just tried WoWDigger and, even though it looks cool and seems to have some nice features, filtering item searches is not one of those.

Out of curiosity, I listed the warlock class spells and was a bit surprised by finding 6 whole pages of those! But, when I saw “Master Demonologist” repeated 25 times, I understood those 6 pages!

It does look promising though, and I may keep it bookmarked (for starters, I reported that bug back to them!)

As for the WoWArmory, that would be a lousy idea! It’s slow and unavailable enough now without others linking there! (Yes, I know it’s still a beta!)

But, I respect your call and I got a couple nice pointers from your post too!

Wowdigger, to the best of my knowledge, isn’t owned by Affinity / IGE for the time being, and until otherwise informed, I’ll use them. And if not, someone smarter may eventually find a simple and elegant way to interface blogger with the Armoury, eliminating all risks.

Out of curiosity: will you cancel your electricity contract if you find the company that owns it does something less good? (If you live in a place where you have options, you might, but here we only have 1 electricity provider!)

And, btw, who tells you that your beloved WoWDigger won’t get (if it isn’t already!), owned by IGE or whatever it’s name is?
