Why has this not been fixed yet?

I've had Honorbuddy for years now. Ever since MoP first came out, and AHbot was updated there has been that damn Golden Lotus bug. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. The default ahbot.xml in the default prof buddy sells entire stacks for WAY under market value. I always end up losing a ton of gold when I come back from a hiatus before I remember this fucking bug. Why does it still exist? 35,245,234,243 new HB releases and no one took the time to send out a permanent fix in one of the releases?

Each time I come back, and I remember the issue, it takes me a good hour of scouring the forums to find the fix that someone once posted somewhere. Now I can't find it this time and frankly I'm really frustrated.

Would some kind soul please be so kind as to direct me towards, or describe in detail a fix? Please do not tell me to use a different bot base other than profession buddy because that is not what I am asking for.

Also, might I suggest to the core buddy team to include the fix in an upcoming release? It only makes sense, and I can guarantee it will ease some one else's frustration in the future.

 

Anyone? :-/

 

Maybe you should bookmark the thread with the fix, or maybe save the fix to a notepad to save yourself some frustration?

And it's very likely that 99.9% of the bot user's have no clue as to the bug you mentioned. Not everyone uses the bot in the same way you do.

 

Someone posted the fix in your last thread you started about this topic, and you said you THINK that that doesn't work....Why don't you try it and see...

 

I did try it, immediately after I made that post to be sure, and I couldn't get it to work. The reason I said that was because I specifically remember trying that same fix the LAST time i came back from a hiatus, almost immediately after 5.4 dropped. I might have bookmarked it at the time, but I reimage my machine all the time and change browsers and things get lost. Also, the way I found the solution last time is the same way I tried this time. I think maybe the thread I've used in the past has been archived or otherwise removed. I cannot find the solution...

 

While I will certainly admit that a lot of botters have no idea what I'm talking about, there is no doubt that a lot also DO know about it. This is evidenced by the fact that in the last day or two of me searching for a solution, I have encountered literally dozens of other botters either acknowledging the problem or stating that they are experiencing it. Usually when I see it, it is someone mentioning it as an infamous problem that has been ongoing for a long time.

Solutions, when they are posted at all, usually consist of using another bot base entirely or point to the old solution of modifying the XML, which I can never get to work. No one ever seems to upload a 'fixed' XML. Also, some people infer paid solutions, which I don't consider to be a viable option atm.

 

Literally dozens? I check these forums maybe once every 2-3 hours and this is the first I've ever heard of such an issue.

So of these "literally dozens" of people encountering this issue, not a single person has given a solution? If there is "literally dozens" of people with this issue, why can't you find a single thread of anyone having the same issue?

 

Could you please provide a detailed bug report rather than "oh, you know, THAT bug!"

These are just two threads that mention the problem after 10 seconds of looking, both with solutions that no longer seem to work. The posts are old, but the problem still persists today.

Seether2k describes the problem perfectly in the first link. There are DOZENS of other botters that mention this, some in the same thread as the second link. If you just search that thread for 'golden lotus' you can find at least 8 people right there without even having to go anywhere else...

 

In case you still don't believe me;

These are from just searching through 10 of the ~200 pages in this thread... Obviously this is a KNOWN problem.

Hopefully we can stop arguing semantics and work on publishing a solution. Even better, pushing that solution out into the next HB release so someone else doesn't have to go through this.

I wish I could try downloading some of these profiles people uploaded in the archived thread to see if they work post 5.4, but since the thread is archived I cannot access the attachments.

 

Last post in one thread you linked, about 9 months ago.

The other thread is a general thread, and I'm not going to go through it to find the "literally dozens" of other people having this same issue (in the last couple of weeks).

I just noticed you linked a bunch more threads from 2012...Isn't it 2014? I may be a bit behind in the times, but I think there's a fair amount of time between 2012 and 2014...

So once again, where are these new threads from the "literally dozens" of other people having this issue?

Last time I checked, 8 people doesn't equal "literally dozens" of other users....I'm not very good at math, but I'm pretty sure 8 is less than even 1 dozen...

You do realize you lose all credibility when you overly exaggerate "literally everything" you say, right?

 

I guess you excel at annoying everyone around you but you apparently have very little skill at reading comprehension.

My point since the very beginning has been that this problem has been persisting since the inception of MoP, which came out in 2012. That means this problem has been ongoing for almost 2 years now.

All of those threads I linked were from about 5 minutes of searching through about 10 pages out of 200 in just one single thread. So yes, there were dozens of unique individuals mentioning the exact same problem of which I only linked 8.

I have exaggerated nothing at all. Now, if you had taken the time to use your own default ahbot in profession buddy you could have easily duplicated the problem and maybe even helped come to a solution. Instead, you've taken twice the amount of required time to bicker over every syllable I've typed up for no other reason than to annoy me and waste my time.

I kindly ask that if you have nothing productive to bring to this thread then you bring nothing at all.

 

the AHbot is part of professionbuddy and is NOT a honorbuddy core issue. if you want it fixed try posting and reporting it to the person who made it.

thread closed.
