You failed to mention that these were all INCLUDED features before the premium service.

Curse Gaming and there money grubbing corporate pigs can DIAF as far as I'm concerned.

BOO!! Hissss They ban WoW Matrix and then pop up with an add on client I have to pay for to avoid using the crappy one they already hacked up like some chunky furball ? What do they think we are stupid!

Oh please.
Servers are free.
Developer time to create the downloader is free.
Bandwidth to host it all is free.

If it's all free how dare they CHARGE us for it? Right guys? Right?

I dont't plan on using the paid service, but they are well in their right to do what they intend to do.
It's great that they are providing some of the service for free.

Remember WoWAceUpdater? They didn't charge a thing for their services, look where that ended up. Had to take it all down because the costs were too high and revenue was negligible.

Spoiler: if your client currently states you have a premium account, and you haven't payed... you're bugged.

Stop complaining about them gimping the software, it didn't mean to unlock itself for you.
