Your repack was greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you have done.

I think the reason he had so many nooblets like myself having problems with his install was that he had one of the best documented tutorials for a repack. So after hours of searching for a decent repack or shit just a private server core new users finally stumble across one that explains everything. Of course they are going to use it and if they have never used database software before they are going to ask questions and who better to ask then the one guy who took the time to create such a wonderful pack?

I am not saying people should or should not ask for help but it IS going to happen, no matter what forum/group/website it is posted to. If you really want to ignore the idiots who cannot be bothered to read and or just do not understand then lock the thread and only allow those you want to post in it. He had moderator privledges...

The only thing I do not understand is how he expected to release a repack for one of the most popular / dumbed down mmos ever and NOT have idiots asking questions.
This is WOW we are talking about. I would wager to guess most people who use custom/private servers are either unable to afford to pay for a legit account or unable to progress far enough into the game to see the content the would like to see. If you agree with my statement this description does not exactly scream intelligence.

Either way thanks for the little time you came back TRM, I have learned a lot about how all this works so hopefully I can take this knowledge with me to less impressive repack made by someone else.

TRM, thank you for proving that private servers can be almos perfect.
You will be missed.

To all noobs who stole TRM's SQLs and to all the noobs who asked stupid questions:
GET A LIFE LOSERS!

I know how it feels to work all day on something you want to make perfect and then some 10 year old kid comes and steals it, claiming that he made it.

I loved your work here. Still, I think you made the right decision.

Best luck in the future, friend. (both in WoW and in real life).

See you around and have peace,
bigboy12.

I'd also like to take this time to ask all MMOPRO authorities that ban those idiots who ask noob questions on the wrong place. Zero tolerance.

This forums is for General chat not for asking the authorities questions, Zero Tolerance demands you be banned, ohnoes!

[StickyIcky]

Lol, Asking questions and such, is something is forum is about...

Technically, you can't do shit about people stealing your code, it's open source...

I look down upon stealing code, without giving credits...But you can't really enforce that.

[exelerate]

Man youve got the beast repacks ever beast updates and all stuffs Hope you come back we live your repack
WE WANT TRM BACK XD all support TRM and stop the dumb questions

Regards.

Pretty stupid to complain that people steal your work and ask dumb questions, this is a free Scene and no money are involved, just your spare time .. and if you choose to waste it on creating a repack, it's your problem. But I think it was good that you removed the thread .. Maybe you should start thinking about your weight and health instead of sitting inside 24 / 7

Lmao, that's sure going to get him back.

lol Gonna have to agree with you on that, but I'm simply gonna say, that only time will tell if he comes back and there is no reason to start flipping out because he deleted his thread, coulda just deleted it for the time being, til he becomes operational again. But, on the side-note, there are plenty of people who tried to help him better the repack by doing the minor things(I.E. Spawning ICC(Thrylas, and myself and others), Fixing items(Colvin and others), fixing mobs that needed it(Abyss, and others(?))), and there are people who could read, and got the server up and running and simply said thanks, awesome repack, keep it up...can't wait til the next update. Then there is always the red-headed step child that was delivered by Fedex(No offense meant). Who couldn't follow instructions, and before double checking the instructions or their mistakes would simply begin to make multiple posts in the thread, asking stupid questions, or asking questions that they could read through the thread and find the answer to, because they thought they're too good to follow instructions.

If Meth wants to keep the repack down, and update to himself(Personally don't think he does) then I support him completely, he puts the time and effort into making this the perfect repack. Personally, I think the people who play retail(no offense to anyone who may play retail, and knows how to read instructions correctly) and are new to this stuff should either A. Learn to ask intelligent questions, B. Learn to read/write better so if you do ask an intelligent question it's understandable and/or read that there was already a solution to the problem you're posting..and C. Learn that the people who are doing these things, aren't paid to do it, and they're probably a team a 5 developers vs a whole floor of developers.

(I gave read every post, on every page(like possibly a few others) in his thread, if a group of people can do it, I don't see why the rest of the people can't do it.)

EDIT: Sorry for complaining:P But been following him since he first posted the repack(like some others) and it's becoming frustrating seeing it brought down because of pure ignorance on the part of the users of the repack.

EDIT: Open source or not, it's still common courtesy to give credit to the person who spent time doing the code, rather than just going "Yeah...I did this all" cause it'll backfire, because there is a slight chance(or good chance) that you won't know the solution if you encounter a problem.
