MaxPowers Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi I recently came across a website that is charging people to put scripts on servers they own/rent. I decided to hop on their TS and I noticed that there was a channel called Waiting for Scripts so I went in the channel and asked someone in the channel if in fact that was the case that they charged people to put scripts on a server for a fee. In fact that was the case. Now I really have no problem with this, if someone wants to pay someone to do work for them then there is nothing wrong with that. I think it's just a cheap way to make a buck on their part. it's just lowclass to take advantage of new people to the community. All tho I was not happy to see that they are charging a astounding $35.00 fee for a mapaddon I released for people to use for free. Now I know once you put something out there anyone can do what they want with it but c'mon sharing is caring. Here is the website http://www.wolfpackdayz.enjin.com/scriptstore so you guys can see what I'm talking about, would really like to hear your thoughts on this. The person I spoke with paid somewhere in the range of $50 and up and was waiting in that channel for a week for someone to get back to him on adding the scripts they purchased. He was quite surprised that all of the scripts on that website can be found here. I think he was led to believe the scripts origin and creator was the person or people he purchased the script from.

Because in the case of the person I talked to they are very willing to learn how to do this stuff just needs a little light on the path to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goatboy Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 The prices on this site is fucked lol. In the past i have had people pay me for my time to set up servers for them but there is no way in hell i would charge them that much lol because its like 30mins to add them all in and if you look around you can find pre build pbo's lol. Like Triage said It's pretty retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukkaed Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 For example they are selling indestructible bases which is already part of epoch code. They are just enabling that feature. Isn't that same thing as selling the Epoch mod for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any questions just ask away on the scriptinig help forum. Basics: download notepad++ download PBO manager http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369 Make backups of your files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Solem Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, I can understand charging money for helping people with installing stuff. For me it's very easy to do, but for someone that has limited time and don't want to learn all the details surrounding it, but want to have a server that is exactly like they want to, they should be able to. I think it's important to differentiate between paying for installing stuff, and paying for the script itself. Basically it's like upgrading your computer for you, you charge a fee for the installation itself regardless if you already own or have access to the card. As for the prices, if people are buying at that rate, why are YOU complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
