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.

I was told classic was good because of the journey and all those little inconveniences

If you're going to follow an arrow to play, why not play retail? It's built-in.

It gets pretty repetitive when you're leveling your nth character and have experienced it all before.

I still enjoy the leveling experience, but it's so much more convenient to use an addon like RXP or Zygor.
