Restedxp site and addon breaking TOS - question to blizz

Corect if I am wrong but addons are not allowed to charge money for you to be able to use them , they can take donations . But this addon has its own site and it is charging for guides that work through their addon , so it an extra step but it is bass you have to pay . And it is heavy advertised by many content creators . Old leveling guides were bass .doc files , this is a bit crossing the TOS line .

The take money for the guides, not for the addon.

  1. Add-ons must be free of charge.
    All add-ons must be distributed free of charge. Developers may not create “premium” versions of add-ons with additional for-pay features, charge money to download an add-on, charge for services related to the add-on, or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on.

It specifically states services related to the addon

It is a thin line , as you need to pay to bass have any use of the addon . So addon is more of a platform for sale than anything else .

The core of their service are online guides that also can be used via their addon - the question is then if the addon can exist in such setup according to ToS.

It can’t . Main point is the sale of leveling guide thrugh the addon . So the addon past lvl 30 is usseless unless you pay , and it is breaking the - Developers may not create “premium” versions of add-ons with additional for-pay features, charge money to download an add-on, charge for services related to the add-on, or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on. So yeah , it is 100% breaking the addon TOS .
