Ban repacks based of other repacks?

[Noobcraft]

You have all seen it, almost every repack nowaday is just based of some other repack and its starting to get ridiculous. No one can tell who did what because some leecher is claiming he made somthing while the creator is left in the dust because he released it so long ago or it whent unoticed......well you might know but this bsod repack thats coming out soon is over 90% my work and the kid just added like 200 items from wow-v and added a few usless npcs not only did he say he did it all but he goes and says i just copyed of psfdb(i am a psfdb dev aswell i only used some gameobject spawns from thier OLD release.).


Just saying i think everyones a little tired of leecher re-repacks.

True very true actually. Its getting pointless because people should learn to do things on their own there is guides everywhere on this forums and it helps to learn about what your using. .

Ban repacks in general.
I second that.

No because there is slow people out there and they have to learn mabey ONE starting pack thats it. Like mangos or arc emu in it with no lua's and just the exe's and configs and scripts bin nothing special they can earn it or a guide with Everything in one like compiling, dll compiling, svn clients, some coding guides links attached and etc.

Repacks don't teach anything, and they always seem to be an issue that they ask for support on which takes longer then compiling it themselves most of the time, unless they're in a rush and have no patients. If this is the case they don't deserve help if they don't want to take the time to learn.

w/e bye.

To help people I made a list of guides and etc of coding languages,compiling, SVN's, cool programs and useful ones, model Editing and more: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...vn-s-more.html

I'll admit that I based my own private little server off a the honery fun repack. However, since downloading the repack, I've pretty much changed everything. All the honery custom cities are gone, all the honery custom NPC's are gone, all the custom quests are gone. I've built 5 custom cities myself, created custom subclasses, built a custom town for trolls, gave gnomeregan back to gnomes, created dozens of my own items which noone else has, practiced LUA scripting and creted various bosses and events, etc.

I find repacks to be convienient at times. However, as others have stated before, you learn more when you compile it yourself.

I fully intend to compile my own for when I want to have a public server. there are certain things I'd like to do that can only be done by compiling it myself. However, for a personal "just for fun and testing" server, I'm fine with using a repack.

I say keep repacks around, but at least give credit here credit is due if you intend on releasing your own repack with the work of another in it. Repacks are fine for beginners. We almost all started with repacks. Just becuase more of us know how to compile now, that doesn't mean we shold be rude to those who don't.

TL;DR: If you're a beginner - use a repack but give credit to whoever made it. If you base your repack off a pre exsisting repack, give credit where due.

Everyone else, learn to compile and do your own thing.

well im also using repacks since im a noob atm, but on that repack (blizzlike so no custom) im trying to learn to make bosses / items with spells / LUA / custom objects.. first i also started by just taking a fun server and then playing on that, but then i realised it would be more fun to edit a blizzlike one, when i learned enough about creation of servers, modifying everything then ill start one up from scratch, but at that time WOTLK is proberly out lol.. but i see your point that alot takes a repack, adds WoW-V items on it and like 5 custom mobs they made, and then they said they made it, that is anoying for the real creator that some "leecher" is taking all the credit.
(i know im a leecher atm too, but as i said earlier, i just started to learn to do it proberly so i can start a repack from scratch on my own)

[Noobcraft]

Belive me i have nothing agenst leecher's only the noob "leecher" repacks the ones that do the things i explained above.

Aswell im also only talking about released repacks of this type not servers that are based on them.

Don't ban repacks. Everyone starts somewhere.

How about you start right and start compiling?

You could easily tell that was scripted... I'll say you'll be banned in... 1-2 hours? (That's if you flame ofc)
