      I voted "Yes" because I've used your projects in the past, and they've all worked extremely well. They've all been well written, and when support was needed, you were there to offer it ASAP. You're a great contributor to this community, and you deserve some compensation every now and then for your hard work. As soon as I get a little extra, I'll send you some wine funds. I prefer beer, but hey, to each their own, lol.

      Just curious, how did you start tackling something like this??

      Like what sort of programming language do you have to learn to do something like this?

      I want to make something like this, but more like an AIO bot base with txt scripts that can be change and loaded on the fly.

      A completely self contained botbase that can do everything and anything without any plugins.

      I can dream right?

      Ok, I just went back and watched your video with all of the UI. I have a couple of questions:

      1. Are you planning to add AH support? Would be great to fill up bags to a certain limit and then post the items to the AH.
      2. Is there a setting to avoid all mobs near nodes? How about just elites?
      3. Does this have pre-programmed nodes, or does it just find them on the fly? If it has nodes programmed in, how many nodes are programmed?
      4. Does this connect to your server for meshing or does this use HB's?
      5. Will this have features, ala Professionbuddy, to start with a level 1 mining/herb and have it run all the way to 600 including training?

      I'm very interested in this project. I have several accounts I can throw away if needs be to test (aka. 15-24 hours a day worth of farming).

      I would be happy to donate to get this bot base as many have said already I would not work for free so why should you. I have used your stuff before and always found it to be of the highest quality. Any info on a release date ?

      Let me answer some of these....

      You are not buying anything, mainly because I am not selling anything. If have you have been reading the Farmer Joe development thread - going back a few months now - you would know this project is FREE and that has always been my intention. The purpose of this poll is to judge how willing the community would be to make a donation once Farmer Joe has been released.


      Again, no one is asking for payment. Because nothing is being sold. You analogy is in accurate given my intentions. Absolutely nowhere in this entire thread do you see me asking for people to give me money, be it up front or after the fact. The poll raises a question and that is all. If people are making donations then they are doing so by their own free will.


      Let me correct you where you are wrong, which consists of your entire post. I am not asking for donations in order to use my botbase, asking for payment in order to use a product is the definition of selling something. I am not selling anything. This project will be released free to the public regardless of anyone paying / donating a single cent. I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that I am selling Farmer Joe?


      See my above comments; nothing is being sold.


      Let me be entirely honest, yes I would very much like donations but only if people find value in this project. I have spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours working on this and it would be nice to receive some kind of monetary reward for it. But I did not develop Farmer Joe with the intention of making money, it was developed when I became fed up with the obvious flaws in the existing gathering botbase.

      Farmer Joe will be released as a free open source project, that is what I have stated from day one. If people choose to show their appreciation by making a monetary donation I would not be adverse to receiving such. Likewise, if not a single person makes a donation - while I would be disappointed - that would be acceptable.





      To sum up, I am not selling Farmer Joe. It has always been my intention to release it as an open source free project. I do accept donations but I do not expect them, I can understand the confusion around the term "donation" as a number of 3rd party developers have in the past incorrectly used the term in order to sell their payment only versions. But if you had been following the development thread from you would be fully aware of my intentions to provide Farmer Joe free of charge and full of features. There will not be a paid version with more features, there is only a single version and it will be publicly released.

      I guess you are not aware of the Farmer Joe development thread that dates back around 3-4 months.

      1. No
      2. Yes. Elites are currently hard coded.
      3. The included database has an extensive list of nodes that I have preivously gather from, new node locations are added to the database when they are discovered.
      4. No server to connect to. There are no meshes as such.
      5. No.

      1. What is Farmer Joe? *smile* Other Version of a Bot like Gatherbuddy?
      2. Donation depend from my side on some points like how easy I can configure it, how easy it is to use, how great work it etc. so a good Botbase? could be a worth a big donation
      3. How can I apply to the Beta Test *smile* Can you maybe PM me? *smile*
      4. You are a god fpsware :)
