08:06.49KesavaAmazon getting involved in making it all tax legit
08:06.52Kesavagross
08:09.12nevcairielat the beginning you also had to fill some tax form if you exceeded some yearly limit, but not sure if they kept up to date with that
10:00.01Stanzillanot that anyone really makes much with curse points anymore anyway
10:00.11StanzillaI get like a third of last year
10:20.20znfwow's popularity has gone down :(
10:23.10Stanzillayeah
10:32.57znfI really really hate click to move in hots sometimes

11:46.28mitch0meh, the tax info page doesn't like non-ascii names...
11:46.40mitch0way to live in the 18th century...
11:46.52Stanzillayeah had to change my street name because of it
11:48.15nevcairieli still get an error 500 when opening it
11:48.58mitch0erm, I'm not sure if I have an "income tax identification number"...
11:49.18mitch0I have a "tax identification number", but that's not just for income tax...
11:50.02StanzillaI just said that I don't have one
11:50.38nevcairieleveryone has one, you probably just dont know it
11:50.47nevcairielwell as soon as you earned any money ever
11:51.08Stanzillayeah I don't have one
11:55.11*** join/#wowace Andols2 (~yaaic@guest.vattenfall.se)
11:55.16znfI also don't have one?
11:56.22nevcairielat least in germany you dont actually have to do your own taxes if you're a "simple" case (ie. just basic employment etc), and of course you get assigned an income tax number then, they just dont tell you unless you ask
11:57.19mitch0for a moment I thought the want a real digital signature... eh
11:57.23mitch0s/the/they/
11:59.10mitch0wonder if payment from curse will be included in the automaticly generated tax return statement from now on...
11:59.40nebulayou didn't submit a w8ben before? that's all the info is for
11:59.55nevcairielapparently they want to renew those
12:01.47znfmore trouble than it's worth it
12:02.42StanzillaI actually considered not giving a fuck since I make next to nothing now in points anyway
12:02.45Stanzillabut it was fast
12:02.59nevcairieldoes WA not make points
12:03.05Stanzillanot anymore, no
12:03.28nebulathere's a threshold for when they need to report, I doubt many people other than nev hit it now :p
12:03.43nevcairieladdon-related points are pretty low for me as well, majority is from libraries
12:03.52nebulayea
12:04.08Stanzilla"WoW in general has drastically dropped in popularity as a whole. Our point system is spread across all of CurseForge. As other games sky rocket in popularity, they take a larger chunk. I feel that's the easiest way to explain it, but it's a lot more complicated than just that."
12:04.12Stanzillawas the answer that I got
12:04.22JustwaitI think my bigwigs cut is about 2 cents a day
12:04.26Justwait#worth
12:04.29Stanzillayeah
12:04.36Stanzillaweakauras is like 5 euro now :D
12:04.38nevcairielthe minecraft idiot kiddies probably take up all the points
12:04.47mitch0:)
12:05.17nebula5€ a day ain't bad :p
12:05.30Stanzillathat was month
12:05.31Stanzillasorry
12:05.57Stanzilla"We're working on a better way to explain, and are approaching other WoW specific areas of concern regarding points. Its just a really hard process to navigate without upsetting someone, or adding more confusion than there already is around how the system works.  it really is a proper economy, with all the drawbacks that come with that. Another issue is that the formula and processing is very legacy - it's been integrated into everything, an
12:05.57Stanzillad operates a very specific way. If we change anything, we risk borking the whole system.
12:05.57StanzillaSo if it's any consolation, we're aware of the downsides. Though, unsure how to approach any changes or update as of yet."
12:06.05Stanzillaif anyone cares, that was the rest of the answer
12:07.05nevcairielyou only make 100 points a month from WA? thats pretty  sad, HereBeDragons makes 55 poins a day alone
12:07.21Stanzillait's a bit more but not much
12:09.13nebulaonly reason I get any is because adi gave me a % of libdualspec
12:09.24Stanzilla(less than HBD btw)
12:09.27nevcairielconsidering you basically rewrote it for legion =p
12:09.39Stanzillathat is actually really sad
12:09.40nebulanormal addons dropped to shit
12:09.48Stanzillaconsidering how many people use WA
12:09.58nevcairieli always figured WA would be one of those that basically everyone has installed
12:10.02JustwaitI'm suprised libs generate so much
12:10.21Justwaitthey are grabbed for each download or only when a build is packaged?
12:10.45Stanzillathey dont really rely on download count for that generation
12:10.47nevcairielIIRC there is like 10% of every addon that uses them is spread to the libs that it uses, or maybe 5%?
12:11.06JustwaitI see
12:11.20nebulaJustwait:  they'd based on the number of people with it installed
12:11.38nevcairielthey do give you more points if you update your addon though
12:11.43nebula(mostly) downloads do count a bit
12:11.45nevcairielafter several months without an update your points decay
12:11.51mitch0so all the cheaters who get it via svn/git are basically thieves!
12:13.56mitch0yay, Bazooka generates 0.2 points a day :)
12:14.20nevcairielmight have been 0.201 if i didnt use the repository
12:14.21nevcairielsorry
12:14.32mitch0:)
12:14.54mitch0I'm ripping you off with Ace3 so we're even ;)
12:15.31mitch0(not that I actually play any more apart from the occasional testing)
12:16.07Stanzilladoes anyone in here actually still play?
12:16.24nevcairiellike once every 2 weeks or so right now
12:16.30nebulacasually
12:16.35znfnope
12:16.55nevcairielits not like right now is the time of a lot of things to do in game
12:17.56Stanzillayeah well even before when there was, I just was not interested
12:18.40nebulagot my toons up to 940-960 ilvl for bfa leveling /cheer
12:18.57Justwaitwithout raiding?
12:19.00nevcairieli've been meaning to pug antorus but i'm just lazy
12:19.09Stanzillahow, that is high
12:19.27Justwaitnot too high
12:19.29Justwaitif you just do weekly 15
12:19.30nevcairieli'm around 950 as well without setting foot into  antorus beyond lfr
12:19.36nebulajust plugging and doing m+
12:19.47Stanzillamy highest is 935 or so
12:19.49nebulapugging even
12:19.55Stanzillabut I never do m+
12:20.02StanzillaI think my total m+ count is ~20
12:20.20nevcairielwe try to do m+ once a week, but lately we didnt find the time to keep the schedule up regularly
12:20.29nevcairielbut thats about all i still do right now
12:21.00StanzillaAmount of Mythic 2+ Dungeons completed in time: 11
12:21.00StanzillaAmount of Mythic 2+ Dungeons completed in time: 21
12:21.00StanzillaAmount of Mythic 2+ Dungeons completed in time: 8
12:21.03Stanzillanot that far off :D
12:21.09Justwaitthat's in time

16:27.13FlamegoatHi, hello. I'm making my rounds given the email that went out last night. Here to answer questions, if you don't know what I'm talking about you may not have received it. It would have been requesting you to take the Amazon Tax Interview.
16:27.41znf.o/ *raises hand*
16:27.45FlamegoatShoot.
16:27.51Flamegoat(be honest, I can take it)
16:28.18znf*puts hand down* I missread, I got the mail, don't have questions
16:28.26FlamegoatAh, okay.
16:28.26znftoo much work to do for $10/year I get in rewards :P
16:29.26FlamegoatHeh, yea. So my official "why" -> Due to ongoing review of policies, rules, and regulations we've made changes to how we collect tax information. All Authors that have been paid out or will be paid out moving forward will need to complete the Amazon Tax Interview process.
16:30.16znfWhy do we Europeans have to bother?
16:30.49znfEspecially if we don't really get much, as nevcairiel mentioned - it used to be a limit or something?
16:31.03FlamegoatBecause we're a US based company and we have to report any money that we pay out to the government. IRS requirements.
16:31.19nevcairielFlamegoat: fix the website so I can actually fill it out, I get an immediate error 500
16:31.35znfAny reason why Curse didn't have to do that before?
16:31.43znfEspecially for low amounts?
16:31.44FlamegoatI wasn't aware of that - can you pm me with details? Or get a ticket going at support.curse.com
16:32.00nevcairielWhat details? :)
16:32.05nevcairielI log in, it errors
16:32.08nevcairielNothing more
16:32.09FlamegoatHonestly, I cannot say znf. I don't pretend to understand tax law :[
16:32.36nevcairielBRB food
16:32.39FlamegoatWe're only getting reports about that from users using IE11, which at the moment we can't support entirely due to issues with how the Twitch login system works :\
16:32.56nevcairielI tried chrome and edge
16:33.28znfworks for me, nevcairiel
16:33.28FlamegoatOkay - I'd love to see if we can get that reproducing on our end. I'll look into your account details to make sure it's nothing there, and then I'll reach out for more info.
16:33.50FlamegoatUnacceptable if you guys can't log in :\
16:34.06znfalso, really https://i.imgur.com/qq2DNfi.png
16:34.14znfwhy is UTF-8 hard?
16:34.34nevcairielMy wowace and main Amazon account also use the same email
16:35.43znfhttps://i.imgur.com/Tqnq119.png - where's the "human" option?
16:36.00znfoh, first one
16:36.01znfmy bad
16:36.22znfok, this shit is... too much
16:49.36FlamegoatSorry guys. Tax is never fun.
16:50.11foxlitFlamegoat: you're sending those emails to the wrong addresses.
16:51.02foxlit(specifically, the addresses associated with the legacy curseforge/wowace accounts, which can no longer be edited, instead of the address of the merged twitch account)
16:58.58harlwhy do these even still exist?
17:04.05foxlit[the entire thing is also rather pointless while the store requires 2FA auth from accounts with no associated 2FA]
17:04.23Flamegoat@foxlit we have to. Those are the emails attached to the Curse account that signed up. I'm working right now to find a resolution for those that no longer have access to those accounts.
17:05.12foxlitEr, I'm reasonably certain the twitch authorization process gave you the twitch email address.
17:05.49FlamegoatNot what I mean - the email on the Curse account that accepted the Author Rewards.
17:08.55foxlitI'm not sure I see how that is significant unless your account/author rewards system is rather insane.
17:09.58nevcairielIt probably is
17:19.40FlamegoatWe maintain the old Curse data as well as the Twitch merge information. We do not pull that info, it gets checked on Auth (since Twitch handles all account data and authentication now)
17:22.13foxlitIf I create a new account using twitch now, you'll never be able to send me email?
17:25.14foxlit(or will it ask me for a separate email address that I'll never be able to change?)
17:29.02FlamegoatNo, in that case we pull the email - since you aren't a legacy Curse user.
17:29.42FlamegoatIf we had pulled the Twitch email for legacy users, your notifications would have suddenly started going to a potentially new email that you never gave us.
17:30.10foxliter, I gave you that address when I authorized your app to use the twitch account.
17:30.25FlamegoatYes, of course, but you understand that. We have hundreds of thousands of end users.
17:30.32FlamegoatSo we wanted as little friction as possible.
17:31.51foxlitI also expect you to update that address on each login, because otherwise you're going to end up sending emails into the void in the future.
17:34.19Flamegoatiirc its updated regularly.
17:34.52FlamegoatAdmittedly, we have a lot of work to do on that process still.
18:02.21znfhey Gnarfoz https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/thY8Lq9G/image.png
18:02.35foxlit(and you should either also do this for legacy accounts, or return the ability to edit the legacy email address. I mean, right now, you have *repository credentials* that cannot in any way be changed by your users.)
18:12.32nevcairielthe legacy info should really stop being used for anything at some point
18:19.32znfYup. Now to push changes, you need a OTP that is send to your email
18:19.37znfValid for 5 minutes
18:19.50znfSent*
18:28.59Dessais the tax thing even relevant for non-us citizens?
18:29.24znfhe said yes
18:29.34foxlityes, unless you want to pay US taxes on top of your own.
18:31.00Dessaok then i'll need to figure out how to change my email address. i don't really want to have 2 amazon accounts.
18:31.32foxlit(although it doesn't actually give you the option to just accept the US witholding, so it's more like "yes, unless you don't want curse's cash")
18:32.32Dessai didn't ever got any points anyway.
18:33.11foxlitthen I would assume just ignoring this until you accumulate enough points to care about is an option
18:33.37nevcairielin the past it was also only required if you used the paypal option at all, not sure if that changed

19:11.28StanzillaOMG THE HYPE
19:12.37Gnarfoznevcairiel: a) I know, but that's not associated with my curse account b) I'm not sure, I don't think so. either way, wrong account :D
19:12.38Megalonhow will they to the battle royale thing
19:13.19nevcairielwhats so hype about that, graphics look rather bad for 2018 and the trailer doesnt inspire really inspire me much
19:13.25nevcairiel-inspire

19:14.01Stanzillaserious sam games are always super fun in coop
19:46.55nebulathey only need to report it as income if you make over 600$ in the year, the old system prompted you to fill out the appropriate form when you hit that, now they're just making everyone do it
19:57.32nebulaand I still can't load the taxcentral site with any browser
19:57.46nevcairieldo you also get the 500 page immediately?
19:58.31nevcairielI login and then immediately i get an error page
