Come join our Discord now!

The /r/woweconomy & TSM Discord is growing every day. We’re both incredibly flattered by and proud of the fact that there are now over 23 thousand users. Whether you’re only there to check prices once in awhile, partake in every discussion eagerly, or anything in between, thank you!

If you’re not yet familiar, there are many reasons why you should make the effort. Firstly all TSM support happens in channels dedicated to this purpose. TSM3 question go in the #tradeskillmaster channel, and any issues specific to the TSM4 beta are handled in the #beta channel.

There’s various channels available in the general discussion section too. Here you can discuss your goldmaking methods, or share that neat snipe you just bought! Don’t be afraid to talk with others, try to pick the best channel, and enjoy being a part of this ever growing community!

If you’re only looking to be kept up to date on the latest important news, there is a #news channel for that specific purpose! Large TSM updates, important Blizzard news and particularly important TSM news gets shared in there to offer you a central place.

In short, The /r/woweconomy & TSM Discord is becoming ever larger. It’s got a little bit for everyone, and you too should be a part of it. If you’re still not entirely convinced, simply join and see what you think. There’s even more channels and ways to communicate than just what’s mentioned here!

TSM is Hiring a Part-Time Addon Developer

The TradeSkillMaster team is a small group of gamers who love to learn new skills and constantly push the boundaries of what TradeSkillMaster can do for our users. What started as a small addon has grown into a suite of powerful addons, a desktop application, and an extensive set of web-based tools and resources. We are driven by self-improvement and creating a great set of products and services for our users, while working in an efficient, but laid-back environment.

At TradeSkillMaster, we always strive to improve the products and services we offer. To that end, we are looking for a passionate addon developer to work on adding critical new functionality to our in-game addons which are used by hundreds of thousands of people.

The Role

As a part of this role, you will be expected to work closely with other members of the team to implement exciting new features, constantly improve the overall quality of our codebase, and improve the general stability of the addon.

This position is specifically for somebody who would be working on the TSM addon (TSM4) 25-30 hours a week. Therefore, the ideal candidate would be an independent contractor (potentially with other, smaller workloads), and not somebody with a full-time job. The work would be purely remote, and there are limited requirements on location, but roughly NA/EU timezones are preferred.

About You

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Strong technical background and code design sense with an emphasis on UI and data processing
  • A proven ability to work in established code bases as part of a team and self-motivation to constantly improve code quality and processes

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Lua and WoW addon experience is a plus
  • SQL experience
  • Object-orientated programming
  • Experience with TradeSkillMaster and a passion for improving it
