      i understood that right, that i only can fly with hb with lifetime?
      cause when i mount a flyin mount and start hb it says:

      Please purchase lifetime, or a plugin key to enable flight!

      or a plugin key to enable flight! <<< where can i buy this?

      Why do we normal users have to pay for flying support? If this is temporary nvm this post. But it seems that we users that do not have lifetime are becoming second hand users. We paid for honorbuddy not for honorbuddy light

      You can't buy it yet, wait. Flight is not actively usable in HB tbh other than maybe one archeology plugin which is still buggy.
      When the plugin is available, flight will have many more uses hopefully!

      Eddie, go QQ elsewhere.

      Well No autoangler also uses it as well, I think I made a valid point am not blindly QQ'ing. And as I said in my post if this is temporary then nvm the post but I see no reason why we should be treated less when we pay as much a session as lifetime users.

      You are. Actually. HB was never planend to have flight but Blizz forced the devs' hand and they now need to include it.
      They have to do that, without completely killing the market for GB as HB can gather *not as well of course* and has better combat skills.
      They have to do it without leaving lifetime members out, lifetime is quite a lot more pricey than just HB and they did promise the flight plug in would be free for lifetime users months ago before they even began implementing it.

      You are not second hand users. You have to pay because it was promised free to lifetime, lifetime get benefits, on account of owning the bot(s) for their lifetime, it was never even planned for HB, they don't want GB to die.

      God knows what official reasons they have, so, wait for an official discussion on it. But that's all I remember since, early last year.



      I said maybe one plugin ;D. As I don't use autoangler. I didn't know that but ty for informing me lol.

      Well the message in HB says: Please purchase lifetime, or a plugin key to enable flight!

      if it's a case of bad wording or an default error message then i have no problem whit it. I do have a problem whit an distincion beign made between lifetime users and yearly paying users.

      Edit

      @cawpet

      Yes I totally agree that lifetime users should get gathering support sins they have shared sessions GB and HB gather will soon be built into HB (It was on the shop gather plugin for HB). And we HB users did not pay for gathering support. But then they should have disabled flying mount and searching for herb/mining nodes. I hope this is the case because fly support is mandatory for questing these days.

      The plugin key is something we haven't yet revealed. For the time being; you can ignore that part of the message. (Note: this is something we can change, without a new release of HB, which is why the message is there now, instead of later)

      It's been stated many times before, lifetime users will have flight enabled for free. Non-lifetimers will not. (If you're too lazy to read the news, going back almost 4 months, then I can't really help you)

      The flying support (and others) are part of a 'paid plugin' system. Many vendors do this, including Adobe, Microsoft, third-parties to them, etc. If you think about it, even Wcraft itself is a 'paid plugin' system--with each 'content upgrade' being a 'plugin'. Nothing compels you to use the new 'plugin' except your own desire.

      Its very much like buying a car with discrete 'options' and get only what you want, or you can buy the 'package' that contains some things you won't use, but its cheaper than the same bundle of discrete 'options'. The breakeven point against a normal user's pricing is roughly a year.

      Part of the benefits to the Lifetime purchase was access to many (but not all), of the paid plugins. This is the first step in fulfilling the difference in price between a 'normal' HB, and the Lifetime HB.

      In short, 'normal' HB users have gotten what they've paid for. As a bonus, Bossland GmbH has even given them temporary access to a number of plugins that will eventually be paid--InstanceBuddy, eAuction, Archeology, etc.

      There are clearly two 'tiers' of Buddy products--normal and Lifetime. If you want access to the second tier, then from what I've seen Bossland GmbH is very generous with respect to upgrading to Lifetime. If that doesn't appeal to you, you can 'choose your options' when the paid plugin system becomes available. Its your money to deploy how you see fit.

      cheers,

      Well whit all respect keeping up whit all the forum posts is almost a full time job. As far as I know there was no official post on the forum news/home page if I missed it my bad prob wasn't using HB back then it had nothing to do whit being lazy.


      I totally agree that lifetime users should get gathering support sins they have shared sessions GB and HB gather will soon be built into HB. But then they should have disabled flying mount and searching for herb/mining nodes. I hope this is the case because fly support is mandatory for questing these days. Sins every one can spot a bot if we can only use ground mounts in outland/northland/cata zones.

      I think glider eventually called their lifetime product glider elite, since it implies extra features not just a one time purchase.

      Well you just answered your own question. You did pay for Honorbuddy, but NOT for Honorbuddy flight. When you paid for it, flying mounts were not supported. Therefore, you should not expect it to just come freely - the BuddyTeam has to make money as well (and please do not QQ saying that the BuddyTeam are trying to force you into paying for something you are entitled to. They are constantly updating the bot with new, free features - for which many people don't even have the courtesy thank them for).

      Also - it has been publicly stated by several moderators that the flight function will only be available to Lifetime users as well as people paying for a seperate plugin. If you wanted to QQ about it, you should have done it before the final decision had been made.

      I totally agree, and IMO the people that pay yearly are donating more money to the cause then a lifetime member, because they are paying more over time.
