Afraid of bugs in Talented?

Will talented eat your hard earned cash by learning talents you don't want?

I certainly hope not.

To my knowledge, there has only been a few hours where one version of Talented, with Talented_Data, could spend points in the wrong talent for the paladin class just after the 2.1 patch hit the live realms. This won't happen again, as there is several checks made to make sure that an outdated version of Talented_Data is not loaded.

Talented has never, even during early development, spent a talent point on a wrong talent for me. I take this very seriously, I use the addon myself. I can't make any promises, or tell you that it can't bug, but be assured that every safeguard I could think of has been taken to make sure this would not happen. If by any chance this would happen to you, then I certainly want to know about it. So please post about it on the forum.
