How come 90% of these mods aren't updated for Patch 2.0.1??

So great, a new layout!! An interesting patch, cool. So now that all my old addons are obsolete, I need new ones, but only like 10% of the ones listed here are for 2.0.1, the rest are for the old patch... so why even have them THERE is my question. I remember looking for "lockbox" mod, it wasn't there... then 3 hours later, it was (I guess it got updated in that time) but, it's for the old patch, why bother putting it up, it's useless to EVERYONE.

Am I wrong?

Is there a filered search I should be using? This new patch isn't an optional thing, everyone who plays the game is now playing 2.0, so I don't get why these old mods are still available, it's just frustrating. Get rid of them.

The mods are still available for the programmers. Imagine if instead of being able to update the lockbox addon for you, the author had to rewrite it completely from scratch. It would take a LOT longer. For now, the addons are remaining up there exactly for that reason.

And you can use the search at http://wow.curse-gaming.com/en/files/3/world-of-warcraft-2-0-0/ to search only 2.0 addons

also many addon developer simply can't get in touch with the curse gaming site on prime time, to upload their addon, so give it some time.

lol Talk about need for instant gratification! Hey, I know that it takes a lot of time and effort for these individuals to update their mods... it won't happen over night and since the dynamics of the game have change so much some of it may not happen at all.

Curse hosts the addons they don't write them... it's up to the individuals who wrote them to get the updates out. Did you notice that the site was up and down over the last few days? All that traffic may just have made it difficult for them to get their new patches uploaded.

Like Lim said... give it some time... just keep checking back.
