7.3 exe changes that destroyed a community

Can we have a serious discussion about this? You changed the exe files to remove botters.. (Which uh, I hate to say it but that didn't do a thing. They're already back and bigger numbers than ever.) But you also unintentionally destroyed the modding community. A community that has been around since near the beginning of WoW, full of smart, dedicated people that release small non game changing changes to their characters ala model changes.(These don't effect hit boxes or anything, and can only be seen the the person who has the mod)

It's all gone now. Completely ruined.. they are desperately trying to find a solution to this, but they are having no such luck. You got them, you got them good and unless you throw us a bone we'll never have our body changing models ever again.

Please, blizzard. Help out the modding community. Don't throw them under the bus like this. I'm speaking out cause everyone else is afraid too. I'm not afraid though. I loved my mods, I want them back, and I know this is the only way to do so. It's a small chance, but it's one I'm banking on.

Please, please revert those exe changes, please. Give us our mods back. WoW just hasn't been the same.. the modders haven't hurt anybody.. likely most people here didn't even know about them. That is how unaffected they are. it harms no one.

So please. Please do this for us...

Since this hasn't exactly been a very productive thread I'm going to be closing this one down.

Keep in mind that anything that modifies, edits, or manipulates the game files does break the ToS and you should consult it on if you think something that you're using is in violation of that. If the answer is "Yes it does seem to break this rule" then you have your very obvious answer.
