Yelp for WoW

I had a brilliant idea for a WoW mod: Yelp for WoW.  Call it Whelp.  Rate your group members, your gear, instances, whatever.  “Five stars– finally a tank that knows what he’s doing.”  “1 star– ninja’d my Thori’dal for his rogue.”

Cons:

  • May violate WoW mod rules for drawing on external data.
  • Everyone would have to download and install it.
  • You can’t make money from WoW mods.
  • Would degenerate into a cesspool of gossip, rumors, and griefing, and the drama would completely overshadow its usefulness as a tool.

Pros:

  • Would degenerate into a cesspool of gossip, rumors, and griefing, and the drama would completely overshadow its usefulness as a tool.

So… get to it, modders!

  • Consider it done. I thought I was going to have to fork over a couple hundred bucks to a Ukrainian.

    If you need a second account for testing, I'll just send you Nick's info. He still pays and doesn't play. :)
  • I'll write it for you if you pay for my monthly fee so I can test...

    ... maybe I'll even throw in a couple grand from expected auction profits.
