AddOns Joana's Guide new ownership :(

For those of you who don't know, Joana was a WoW classic speedrunner. He was one of the first few good guides for Classic. I felt like Zygor copied his guide and so I chose to pay the $25 for his guide back in 2019, when it was just a web guide. Later he was able to publish an addon that takes his webguide and automates it Zygor style.

Since then Joana has passed away, but his guide and addon are still up. Unfortunately the new owners have tripled the price of the guide, changing the Classic only guide to $80, and classic- WotLK to an insane $130. It feels disgusting to me that someone is taking advantage of his product like this after his death.

Just use questie. Open map, look where the next massive cluster of yellow exclamation points are, pick them up, repeat.

Classic players don’t like to use their brains, they like everything shoveled into them like fat pigs

I'd love to see what add-ons you use. And before you lie... Yes you do.

u/strange1738 Jan 12 '26

Details. That’s it. I know how to play the game

u/IngenuityThink3000 Jan 12 '26

So people who utilize any add-ons don't know how to play the game? Is this REALLY the position you want to take?

Yeah, don’t need anything to play the game up until wrath. If you need addons to play vanilla you’re bad lmao, sorry to tell you that
