Decree No. 001 · To all citizens of Azeroth

The Ministry of Min-Max

The data has spoken.

By order of the Ministry: wear the gear we assign, take the talents we approve, follow the routes we print. Busy gamer parents, your play time is rationed. The Ministry will not allow you to waste it. Every directive is drawn from WoW Forever's own files, every number is verified, and anything unconfirmed is marked as such.

The Ministry's Branches

Each branch issues its own orders. Every order opens with the answer. The reasoning follows for citizens who want it.

How the Ministry Works

The Ministry does not guess. When it estimates, it says so.

I.

Built from the game's own files

Item stats, talents, quests and maps come from WoW Forever's own data. Classic guides and memory are not admissible.

II.

Every number cross-checked

Every published list is audited against the data and checked against independent databases before release. No exceptions.

III.

Unconfirmed means labeled

If the files don't confirm it, it is marked. Estimates are called estimates. Nothing is called confirmed until it is.

Internal memorandum · Re: beta data

Beta data is temporary

All pre-launch directives are issued from beta data. It has served the Ministry well. Its service is nearly over.

When WoW Forever launches, the Ministry will seize the live records. Beta figures will be inspected. Any number that fails inspection will be taken away in the night and replaced with the correct one. Directives built on it will be quietly reissued. The previous version was never wrong because it never existed.

Citizens are advised not to remember outdated directives. Always obey the latest version.

Department of Voluntary Tribute

File a report. Pay tribute.

The Ministry's guides are free. Others charge for speed-leveling guides. The Ministry finds this unpatriotic.

Form 88-T · Informant's tribute

Your neighbor is not min-maxing

Tribute keeps the Ministry's directives free for every citizen. Attach a report with your payment. Name the guildmate who rolls Need on everything. Name the neighbor with unspent talent points. The Ministry is listening.

Approved reports are posted on the public record.

The tribute office opens shortly. Remain at your post.

Tribute is voluntary. For now. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Tributes are tips to support the Ministry's work, not charitable donations, and are not tax deductible.
