You misunderstand completely and you have obviously not read many of the posts in this thread. Read some of my post in this thread and then I'll happily listen to your feedback.
its like this, if you put out a trial version (maybe like 2 days) and the product is good, the money will come, people on here are happy to pay for good work. just look at the great routine makers on here, tuanha and Millz for example, I dont know how much they make but they probably make decent coin, and the routines are worth it. A few things I think sets them apart from others, they put out trial versions(I know some routines are free) and another thing is I believe they go into each new project getting feedback on every little thing from the users and dont charge anything untill they know for a fact that the product is great. Another thing they do is update, update, update, and do it asap. I try out many of these products and I gotta tell you, I am pleased and its worth it (top heals and top dps).
There will not be Lite or Limited edition builds, what is released will be the fully featured product. Farmer Joe will be free and open source once its publicly release. EDIT: When you say "all professions", what exactly do you expect it to train? As this is a gathering botbase it does not make sense to include unrelated professions. Currently it will train Mining, Herbalism and Skinning. I don''t have any plans to support additional professions (in the first version of Farmer Joe).
Farmer Joe is my alternative to GatherBuddy. Farmer Joe only supports herbalism, mining and skinning.
I would certainly donate, would prefer to try it out first though but knowing and using your old work i'm sure i won't be put off by it. If you ever need a tester that throws you some log's i'd be happy to help as well, although i guess you get millions of those requests Keep up the good work mate, can't wait for it !
Finally been paid so a donation is winging its way to you. Have an alcoholic beverage of your choice on me.
Video coming soon explaining more about Farmer Joe and how it works. EDIT: No, it was not shot using an iPhone.
This is not a video of Farmer Joe in action, this is merely trying to clarify what Farmer Joe is and how it works. [video=youtube_share;sLud5dkuwzQ]http://youtu.be/sLud5dkuwzQ[/video] EDIT: My Windows desktop colour scheme is pink, that's why the FJ window is pink.
Holy moly - after watching that video, you better believe I'd donate for this one! When can I get it?!
Bump. Because this post was berried and people continue to ask for a release date and to be included in the beta testing.
That just saved me from continuing to read the previous 37 pages to see if a release date was stated. Sorry about your bad luck! I lost a couple accounts myself on that brutal ban wave.
Great video, really makes a strong case for the, uh, whichever it is, botbase, addon, plugin, whatever. If I used HB for gathering, I would snap donate for this. All the options, so many options! It's the accent, isn't it? Yeah, it is a pretty awesome New Zealand accent. *edit* Random paranoid thought that I'm sure someone else probably already thought of, but how many folks besides the author have been banned? There's no doubt in my mind that Blizzard reads these forums, and I'm wondering if they're keeping tabs on this project. Seems like the highest percent of HB bans are from gathering, and I wonder if a project like this would crush their efforts to contain gathering bots. Perhaps that's why they seem to really be going after fpsware.
Ah, almost thought i could save you until i zoomed in and saw it says "MyBanker" in the forced mail field haha. You tricked me u bastard
So far 1 or two of my beta testers have received bans, but in their personal opinion they do not attribute it to Farmer Joe.
FPS , are you close to a release? I didn't catch this thread in time to join your beta testers, however I used your CC's back when you used to work on those and absolutely loved every bit of it. I have an account I would not mind running it on (has not been subbed since MoP launch) , if you are still open to testers. If not I'll patiently wait till you do release(lies! can't be patient with work of art like FJ!) Anyways just wanted to add , videos look great, excited about it being profileless , thumbs up.
I hope this answers your question EDIT: But having said that I do have any account in the high 60s so I am able to do some development. All be it slowly at the moment.
