Note: Aeus made some comments on the reasons for the policy on these modifications in this thread: http://forums-en.wow-europe.com/thre...6999&tmp=1 (link dead)

conclusion:
Please remove all addons that replace models :
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1894
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2580
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1958
http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2570
as well as a large ammount of addons found in this directory :
http://ui.worldofwar.net/listuis.php?type=29
And many more.. because people "can and will" get banned from WoW because of it.. please protect your players. and do not allow these addons to be listed in the ui.worldofwar.net site...
the wow client performs a integrity check upon your files when it loads.
if any files are found to be modified, you may not always get a warning, but you will see problems resulting from this.|||I swear, it's almost scary, are you brand new to the game or something? People have been playing around with the colours of skins, and changing the look of things since the begining of the game. It's not new, and I don't think blizzard has banned one person for it yet.
Blizzard hasn't made any post on this site about it.
Did you get a warning? Did you see problems as a result of using it? Did blizzard ban you?
Come back if you can say, DAMN I GOT BANNED FOR USING SKINS!?
Oh, and just so you know blizzard could easily stop you from changing skins. They haven't.|||Editing the MPQ file directly so that a model is permanently replaced is against the ToS.
We're just putting files that override the default setting in a sense. It doesn't hurt anything, it's completely reversable, and if Blizzard didn't want it done they could make WoW ignore foldered model replacements.|||The general impression that I have recieved over the past few days regarding AddOns that "change model 'skins'" is that Blizzard does not like them. Some of the CMs have said as much and as a result Curse Gaming is taking down those type of AddOns. I would link to the relevant link on Curse however their site is down as of this post.
Note: I have never used "skinning" AddOns.|||I'll be 110% honest... if it was legal, and I could do it... I would very quickly replace the Tauran Cat Form with the Nelf Cat form.... I mean... GOD, why did they make tauran cat form so fugly!!!
Although, bear w/horns = cool :)|||buying gold is against the tos ,swearing is against the tos, skins are against the tos, i don't give a toss.|||Quote:

Buying gold is how lazy fools play the game...
Swearing is for those who just can't master the language enough to formulate better sentences�
Skins are something they ask us not to do, and I respect that.. I dont like some of them, but then thats not my call
and so?|||Its logical blizzard thasnt like the exploits.
For example you could make items or people more clear to see so you could detect them better using different skins, also there is no need to earn gold to wear cool armour or a cool mount. aldo you as cheater would be the only one seeing it its still unfair. if you want a epic mount you have to earn it not use a so called "Addon" they better call that sort of stuff "spoilers".
In the past Blizzard also diddn't liked and didnt aprove addons such as "take me there"and other automove addons. they finaly put a stop to it by dissabling those function calls in wow. Dont look surprised when in future they will also do something against the skinning expliots as they clearly told they didnt like people doing it as can be read in blue posts and tos and in interviews claiming the warnings arent on the website thasnt mean a thing as a hole lot of things arent to be read at the website.
Also the argument that blizzard dasnt stop you from changing the files isnt a argument to do so. blizzard also didnt stop you in the past from automoving and autocasting etc and they also clossed that down because people miss used them, braking also addons wich they did aproved on. If they had to protect wow against any and all possible hacks the program would be much bigger,requesting a dongle, fingerprint, eye scan and hart monitor, Incrypted harddrives every 50th of a second crc check on all files etc just to make sure knowbody could cheat. They also dont like the teleport bug and it still isnt fixed as i understoud. Damm they even didnt fix bugs in wow such as the mining bug or the lagg bugs for many months. So there is no argument that it isnt wrong because it isnt stopped by blizzard YET.
Aldo this is only a matter of time because they will stop it in future as they arn't happy about it at all!|||Well, when blizzard do get off there hands, and actually stop skinning from working, then thats the day I'll stop using them, I like my reskined armor so that it looks better. I shouldn't have to put up with blizzards obsession with purple. Neways. Blizzard can do whatever they like, it's thier game anyway.|||Blizzard likes to keep the peace. And if everyone got their way then all classes and skills would be so much alike you might as well not have the options at all.
I walked into walmart and ID Software still has a 10 year old game on the shelf right next to the brand new games. Why? I dare say because John Carmack is a smart guy and allows anything to be added to his games at any time. He knows people like the freedom to expand and explore.
You take the limited control away from WoW Gamers and see how attactive SOE games begin to look.
Skinning issues? Get over it!
Buying Gold? There goes the econemy! But you will never stop it.
Replacing Models? God i hope so!
Cussing? Only Haters report for this.
Automated Play? Make you wonder why they play?
And so on. In General if you have a problem with modding the game consider this! Blizzard does not have time to add all features players want. so they give us the ability to do so. Players think of things that blizzard never thought of, so they make it so we can ad them in ourselves. So, if you have a problem with mods. you have a problem with this community that blizzard inspired. So take your opinions. because they are that. just your small minded opinions, and leave the site. your not welcome.
please excuse spelling errors...
