Farmer Joe. Would you consider donating?

I would still like to hear from the 8 people (5%) who have voted No.

I'd like to know your reasons behind your answer.

 

I guess it would depend for me if it lasts longer than GB2 does with 24/7 farming, so I selected the 3rd option.

I know your own bots lasted quite some time but everyone has a different experience. As long as it's worth the risk, definitely worth a donation.

Cheers,

My personal opinion about botting 24/7 is quite simple, DON'T!

I was recently banned, and subsequently overturned to a 72 hour suspension for using HB Questing for 24 hours. The amount of time you are online is just going to automatically raise red flags with Blizzard.

 

Thank you for your reply. You answered my question.

 

I love testing new things out, and have no problems whipping money for something that's worth it.

However, if there's no way to try it out first from ME it's a no. With a test(and we're not talking about a 60minute trial, more like over the course of X because it needs time to run how well it runs) I'd probably chip in.

ps. with fraps you should render the file first to encode the raw file into a smaller package

 

One thing I've been wondering about... Does this only work in Pandaria or can it be used in other zones such as Icecrown?

 

Any zone you can fly in.

EDIT: This is a flying only botbase - just if anyone was going to ask.

 

Blackbook here - Chuck me a copy and I'll take a look. If it's good and I end up using it I'll throw some beer tokens your way

Do you have an estimated release date ?

 

Haven't read through the whole thread, do you plan to have a free release for this, like your previous projects?
Would be a shame to see your work to be paid, but this seems like a idea that's worth it. Really interested to give it a spin, hence the question.

 

a lot of people (~ 7/10) are fast with words, saying "yes ofc i donate!!!111 / send beer money!!!11" and don't do a thing once they got what they want. The past has told.

I actually don't know if/how much i would donate, it would be up to some factors.
for example, how profitable this is. assuming it changes nothing compared to gb2 (just a thinking-comparison, not a fact one) i don't see much sense in donating. If it gathers for example at 50% of the speed, but lasts twice as long until banned, nothing is won on my side. on the other hand, if it gathers at 200% and lasts twice as long, i'll be make some decent profit and don't mind to share some with the creator of the tool i use.

Never the less i appreciate your work, but without profit, theres no money for donating.
Reason #1 i don't donate to CCs but invest some time to write my own or use modified free ones.

vote #3, obvious.

regards

 

its gonna be free.

 

Maybe next time you should.

 

For the casual botter, this is without a doubt the best bot base to gather with. Used it for a few hours, and even though it is slower than GB, it easier to setup and much safer. I alos donated after using it and I suggest Bossland to actually look into what fpsware is doing here and maybe implement his bot base into HB as a default and pay him a percentage royalties to keep it updated.

Again, i am a casual botter- only have two accounts and only bot for fun (I enjoy botting more than actually playing).

Now if someone could develop a bot base to do questing without profiles, ie, "complete all quests in zone then move to next zone", HB would be perfect.

 

Thanks, this is what I looked for.

I read the first few pages, figuring out what it is. It was all a bit gimmicky to know whether it's gonna be free based on the first few pages.

 

A bit offtopic: How many got banned using this during development phase and "alpha/closed beta"? When i was following your old thread i remember one incident, but he was using gb2 aswell if I'm not wrong

 

This!

 

This is a quit interesting 3:rd part plugin function and think a lot of people will actually benefit from this.
Let?s just hope that blizzard does not figure out a way to track this.

Since I honestly don?t use honorbuddy as a way to actually make real life money I would never be able to donate a huge amount considering that you actually need to buy private routines to have a really good bot and also the factor that I?m pretty much poor as shit and don?t make much money.

But I could always donate enough for you to buy a RedBull to keep you up and work!
What you have given to this forum with all your work makes me very grateful and I just want to thank you for it.

 

FPS, my whole reason for returning to wowbotting depends on FarmerJoe.
I'd be more than happy to donate/pay for FarmerJoe if it would mean i can start again in the 'world'.

My disappointment is especially in the mods, from who i've seen nada to improve the detection of the LPC pathways.
To me it feels they just want to collect as much cash as possible as the end of wow comes closer and closer, also with the courtcase breathing in the neck.

 

FPS, I would gladly donate. I've been a fan of your work for a very long time. In fact I was looking for a cc for my hunter and was like wtf where is fpsware at?
