Some corrections

Hi, I found this article from a technorati search because it links to my blog (http://furryhealing.blogspot.com). Seeing as you seemed pretty irritating by the whole thing I wanted to explain a little bit.

First, I’m not a member of his guild (Scions of Destiny I think), in fact I don’t even know him except to know he writes some pretty nice code.

Second, I’m not even in one of these ‘elite guilds’ you mention. My guild isn’t competing for world firsts, in fact for the most part we aren’t even competing for server firsts (seconds maybe).

Third, RDX is most certainly not CTRA with some new bells and whistles. Personally I have not looked at the LUA code of CTRA particularly closely but I will tell you with certainty that RDX is far and away the superior raiding tool.

Fourthly, this is nit picking but since I probably sound like a prick anyway.. CTRA wasn’t really the first raid windows either, it was just the most widely distributed.

Since I’m not in a guild competing for world firsts which requires use of this add on you may (or may not) be curious about why I chose to pay the money to get it. Its pretty simple really, curiousity. I was curious to see what the code for such an elaborate add on looked like (I’m a programmer/developer by trade), even more so I was curious to see if he could really deliver on all the things he’s claimed RDX will be able to do.

To contrast, my experience with CTRA is that it is an addon of basic windows with some nice extra information available to raid leaders. However, it is extremely static, and has remarkably little customizability. RDX by contrast provides incredible oppurtunities to change raid windows in a way which makes them more useful to the user.

As far as paying for the mod, I actually understand where the irritation fueling those feelings comes from. The simple solution is of course if its not worth it for you, don’t get it.

Thanks for the different point of view none-the-less, most of the things I read about RDX are about how great it is.
