Because it is STEALING. It's ILLEGAL DAMNIT.
Ah alright, I first thought that people just exported them too..Blizzard put up most of their WoW icons on the bnet site, free for download. Ralle then went and put them all on the hive too. WoW's models were never released by blizzard, and so using them is immoral.
Well I don't view it like that, but maybe I won't speak any more of this subject or my opinions about it for the sake of hive's rules...brad.dude03 said:Because it is STEALING.
Then play ona private server for free? seriously, one who uses EXACT resources of something they are imitating isnt professional at all. Take a look at the wc3 Wow camp hosted here, they are making everything pretty much from scratch that relates to wow, thats what makes them special and how they are utilizing it.
So pointing out a possibility of hypocrisy does... what, to the topic at hand?Lol, talk about stealing. That's stealing the entire game and emulating its servers, which is illegal.
LOL, playing on a private server is legal to my knowledge and making a server is 100% legal in some countries. What do you want to brag about now? My music?
As I say.
Oh, and you only pay monthly fee to blizz for SERVICES and HOSTING of the servers. God... =_=
Now stop this stupid whining and pointing fingers.
Then I'll explain.
When you install the game, you accept an agreement, and you are bound under the terms of the EULA.
Blizzard own the rights to the game, the code and the ideas behind the game where applicable, and that is what they are protecting.
You steal their money by not paying for the game they gave you, technically, because you aren't playing on their server, which the game is designed to do. That is also what you accept in the agreement.
Although Blizzard will probably never find out you ever did do so, you're still stealing from them, and the law's on their side in plenty of countries, particularly US and probably a lot of Europe. You're pretty much promoting illegal activities as you suggested playing on a private server for free, which I'm pretty sure is against the rules, which is why I gave you an equivalent example.
Yes but the way it is enforced on this site makes it look like if it was official Blizzard Entertainment's stance, whereas it's just Hive Workshop's official stanceThe point is WoW models just arent allowed on this site.
Doesnt stop you still using them for your own use, or distributing outside this site.
I disagree and think its foolish as well, but rules are rules and thats thats.
Theres little point in arguing it further or pointing out that the average person breaks the law/does an 'immoral' thing 1000 times a day.
Overall the WoW models generally arent good from a war3 point of view anyways and there are plenty of top quality resources on this site already.
So just deal with it and move on.

crazynutter had oneLol, I remember the wow-converting workshops some had on wc3search xD

. and i dont realy see why it is so important to import a WoW model.We the users have the right to discuss the rules about this site. Becuase without the users a site is nothing
stealing Guild Wars icons became really popular among mapmakers, even "respected" ones7) There's nothing fun about getting stolen models.
"LOLL KILING IZ K COS I SAW OJ DO IT!!!"i may be new. i have read all these threads about wow exports
blah blah blah! its stealing!
blah blah blah its illegal! blah blah blah blah BLAH!
listen.here is a site that will damn end this damn thread once and for all.
btw. if you remove this. you are cold hearted. and dont care about alot of people. and if u ban me. damn.. thats just wrong. look im trying to help. and if you get pissed at me . i dont freaking care. here.
Link removed.
ok now if u look on page two. theres a free download for a murloc model from wow. BIG DEAL download it. have fun. and enjoy. all credits go to the tutorial master and the murloc dude. and for once. let this one go. good luck and get some wow exports. with the fun of you doing it!![]()
For example, you can make all the Star Wars models you want (just look at Olaf Moleman) and we'll take them, but to rip a model from a game like Battlefront or KotOR would be completely unacceptable.
it was for AotZ. Rising_Dusk included 2 WoW models in the map but wc3c admins were crying about it so mc! and chriz made a new model based off the wow oneOr like most of the models for WotTH. Like that imp thing Chriz animated looked A LOT like the wow imps. But it was just a reference. Apparently.
