Keyclone isn't an addon, but it specifically interacts with WoW (I think. If anyone wants to correct me, please do)
keyclone does not interact anymore with wow than it does with notepad. the only wow specific additions i made were the username and fps settings. keyclone is as much of an addon as the G15 is.


anyone that thinks it is worth it to work for donations, you really have no understanding of the subject matter. let's say an add-on takes 2 weeks to code, that is 80 hours of work. let's say the dev puts a $10 donation button on his site and had 100,000 people download it over 6 months from his domain, which costs him $25/mon. total cost: 6 * $25 = $150 + 80 hrs work. and that does not add the support costs of updates. let's say it takes 2 hours for tweaks every month... tack on another 12 hours. 92 hrs work in 6 months.

if 0.1% of the downloaders donate, you'd be doing well. that would be 100 people... @ $10 ea == $1000. subtract the web fee, and he's @ $850, or about $142/mo. and he would be doing about 15 hrs/mon support on average... so the add-on brought him about $9.50/hr

yea, that was worth it. he'd make more selling accounts. ($300/account ... 10 days to create 5x level 80.. 15 accounts per month == $4500/mon)

i am by no means suggesting anyone sell accounts, i'm just trying to give context.
