I'm very sorry that you were not aware of the premium preview.  When installing the client for the first time, there is a window that pops up to inform each of our users that they are using a premium trial of the client, and that eventually the trial would end.  I do hope that you still find the non-premium version of the client quite usable, if not as convenient and powerful as the premium version.

Adding fuel doesn't help

let us updating for free !!!!!

This is not acceptable to make us pay in order to gain time when we update our addons

THis monopole since wow matrix has died is not acceptable.

I call everybody to boycott the Curse client until they turn it back to the old version (updating everything for free)

Come On Curse, add some Ads everywhere if you want but don't act like that ! i would love some popups too if you don't get enough money....

There are obvious reasons as to why Curse would eventually have to charge for their services, addons have become such an integral part of many MMORPG's that people feel a need to have them. Curse provides services for both the end user, and the authors of these addons (curseforge.com). Most end users have fallen into the belief that they must update their addons each and every time an update comes out, and I feel some authors don't tag their releases properly which in the end causes users to think that minor updates are indeed necessary to the continued function of the addon. I would suggest that instead of complaining that you can't hit one button and have something else do the work for you that you try downloading addons only via their respectable web portals and see how it feels then. The free curse client is still a whole lot easier then individually downloading and extracting.

Yes, things changed but if anyone took the time to actually look at this from Curse's perspective, one would realize that they are in this as a business. Especially during these times of a tough economy they need to make some profit in order to keep offering users new services. I hope instead of jumping off here, the community will recognise that Curse needs our support, they have offered great service for almost 5 years and now when times are tough we're going to get mad about them trying to make money to keep going?

I've always understood that the Curse Client was a beta for a premium service. It was fairly obvious. Of course, I have a good amount of appreciation for programmers and developers, and therefore read the finer print. The pricing is excellent, 30$ for the year is not hard to swallow at all. The Premium client basically auto-updates your addons all the time without having to touch it. If you have the basic, you're still able to check things manually.

It's worth 30$ a year to have automation like this, and it supports addon developers too.

Edit.

Mantafahrer2: Seeing as they only offer better services with the subscription and aren't forcing people to pay it, there really seems to be no violation of these new rules. I would think of it kind of like FilePlanet (points at msn, you know who you are)....

I'm not sure why it was removed, I apologize if the mods were overly censored.  In general I have a very liberal view on forum moderation when it comes to critical posts, some of our moderators come from other sites that were much more draconian in their methods.

Im just not happy about it, Not gonna Q.Q But its not good curse! Not good :<

@1Miikey, I can understand why you may feel that way.  Thanks for the feedback.

I'm all for you charging as long as I don't have to be forced to pay to use it, but you have

Capped my download speed (I get that)

Put ads in the client (I expect that)

Don't let me download them all at once (Ok, fine)

Disable update all button

I still don't see why the first three are not enough. Can't it just put some annoying ad or something up until the transfer of all the addons completes if you use "Update All"?

You said it exactly like I wanted to!

I can fully understand the need to pay for hosting and network costs, and it's great that you pay a little bit to the addon developers. However: I would GLADLY trade the update all button for an extra ad!

Capping the download speed: fine, wow addons aren't like DVD-images anyway (I have time to wait for them)

Putting ads in the client is also fine, it's a lot better than the emails that flood the Gmail junkbox anyway. :)

Downloading one addon at a time is fine by me, more addons simultaneously only slows the individual downloads anyway (especially on a capped down rate)

BUT, I'd be really glad if you didn't remove my update all-button! (alternatively, you could remove it altogether, instead of having it there like a goddamn teaser! :@) Spending minutes of waiting without being able to go anywhere because you have to click on download for the next addon is frustrating, especially when there are other applications which do the job for free (*WoWMatrix, for example - they have recently become rather tempting....*)

That'd be all, folks! (please take this to your "suggestion box")

I will totally be down with paying for it if i know how much go toward the authors and i hope it is most of it because with out them curse would get a lot less traffic. so in short if any one know the % that goes toward the author please let me know, and if u are like me u have way to many add ons to donate to each one separately but would be totally down with supporting them all in one spot. so long as it is not just a ploy to get more people to sign up for the premium version. (I'm pretty sure that curse get their fair share of revenue from advertisements)

Thanks
