      Alright this is not a a troll post or a flaming contest, all i want to know is why has the dev team released another project when they cant even sort out the bugg's in HB? with a full dev team concentrating on HB the releases were poor month after month now the team has now 3 project's on the go (HB/GB/RB) what project is going to be put on the back burner now? i can imagine HB since RB will more likely bring in more of the money since it has no competition on the rift market as of now.

      Overall what do US customer's think about this? Also it look's like no new dev member's has joined the ship so the dev team is going to be split between 3 project's so there will be stupid ETA's with new project update's?

      Im very unhappy with this move but at the end of the day it's all about the money and i would of thought Bossland would of give us HB lifetimer's a 2 week trial key for the rift bot or a promotion key but i dont think it will happen.

      Dont say your happy or unhappy about the Rift bot getting released, write me a reason why pls.

      NO TROLL POST'S PLS!!

      I personally have no problems with it. I dont see the frustration most see while I do see some bugs, I dont see nearly as many as I see complaints about in general my usage of HB2 for GB2 goes very well and makes me alot of gold and as I dont sell I only run a couple of bots. And the bot works greatly for me running CC's and PVP the way I do in Lazyraider mode.

      I have seen many issues with trying to run BG bots and meshes but they can be fixed and I believe they will in time.

      Were is this information on a rift bot? Am I missing something>

      In all honestly if BG bot path's were fixed, I would not care what they go and work on. Everything is working really well except for BG bot imo.

      Eventually I guess the lifetimers will get the rift bot in their sessions limit when looking at the prices for the rift bot and those for a lifetime account.
      Other than that I agree that we can expect more problems for the peeps 'left behind' with HB/GB.

      Splitting the current dev team over 3 projects is a bad move, probably the reason why we didn't get (m)any updates as of late.
      When you look at the main page there's some info about a new UI coming in multiple languages for HB, but is that what we are really waiting for....
      I don't really care for a new UI in multiple languages tbh, rather see more stability and less bugs in the current version.

      On the other hand I can imagine they work from the same devbase so structural HB/GB and the new RB are codewise alike, only work with a different API.
      Same structure would possibly mean a unified development platform which is portable to each bot without many changes or each having it's own codebase.

      For me personally I don't care what they do, as long as we get our regular updates, and a progress overall with the bot's stability and all other additionals that come along with HB/GB.
      As long as that's ok, they can do whatever they like.

      However if service comes short, and the updates further and further apart and don't do anything real to improve then it's time for them to re-evaluate their current state and priorities and redo the structural things, unless they prefer another rebellion (and bad comments/reputation that comes along with it, internet is powerful after all when used correctly).
      Whether or not they are the only players on a market, doesn't mean they can do what they please.

      Bottom line is that we have to wait and see what's gonna happen. Conclusions can be made afterwards. For now just sit back and wait.

      One of these days, maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now, 3 years, who knows? world of warcraft WILL end and its important to have other options open. even our user-base, have had WoWBurn out, lots of people have been moving to rift or just quitting not only botting but playing games altogether. the riftbot is a way of not only helping some of our users who have had wow burnout, but our devs as well, i know at least for me, playing and even botting to some extent has been just borning as hell, back in wrath i was raiding, and having fun, but now if it wasn't for me developing things and being creative i wouldn't be playing wow, and that's all due to the bot. the riftbot is a way of making it so we dont have to look at the same dam thing every day. thats from my point of view on how i see it.

      lol same pretty much. Although I too would like the bugs in HB fixed, I have no objections this. In fact, if I were to ever take up Rift, I'm quite pleased that a product I feel I can trust is out there should I need it.

      It has got me thinking if I should give it a go.

      m happy with the rift bot because i think that HB is running smoothly except for a few small things. Overalll things get fixed quickly and the Devs and admin are very solid with response times in forums. I think a rift bot would be awsome, my friends play it and i wouldnt mind joining them. i wont do the grind thing again in any mmropg but I would love to play rift if I could bot it.

      Your mood might change when all CC, plugin and profile creator's stop updating, because there sick of the HB core alway's being bugged which has been for a longwhile now, BGbot and mesh issue's have been fixed multiple times but seem's never been tested before releasing so yeno.....

      WOW Bot for PVP Leveling Gathering - Gatherbuddy & Honorbuddy Forums - WOW Bots

      Now this is the sort of reply i have been waiting for, I cant really imagine that the lifetimer's will get the RB in there session's since it's a completely new bot and Bossland will lose alot of money due to many people already owning Lifetime account's with HB, plus they screwed up with making a Lifetime key with HB since it's only a 1 of payment and wont help finallically in the long run (it's sort of showing now were there selling plugin's and a Rift bot when they know they cant keep them updated without a bigger dev base.)

      Now look what has happened when HB2 was released, GB Standard was left behind and was only getting updated once every couple of month's even doe soo many member's were constantely posting problem's with the bot, i can imagine GB standard being wiped out completely becuase of this.

      Like c'mon dev's, why do we need a update to the UI?? we need update's with fixing the bugg's not new thing's added that will casue more problem's with the core in the long runn.

      It sound's to me like the rift bot is alot like the HB1 bot were you need to load up the meshes etc... which was more easier to update and fix due to it not having hundred's off thousand's of code, i could be wrong doe and it could be like HB2 lol

      I doubt there will be another rebellion since when a thread is opened there closed quickly and the member is ever muted or banned which is wrong.

      I appreciate a mod posting and expressing what he think's about this subject without closing the thread lol

      Your also right about the wow burnout but you got to also think what a lifetime key is for, i thought the dev's would alway's be updating and fixing the bot were it is needed, if i knew sooner that there was only 4 dev's that was trying to fix and alway's keep 3 bot's up to date even doe they couldnt manage keeping just 1 bot stable (HB2) i would of not bought the lifetime key, im not saying there going to stop updating the bot's but im saying before RB was releases look how stupid the timeline was for fixes for HB2, It was daily when HB2 was released then up to now were looking at a release once a month, now there is project's it could be even longer in my thought's.

      I hope a dev can post a reply over the situation and a timeline sort of like we will focus on 1 project a week etc...

      Also keep the constructive post's comming :)

      Leave the options opened

      Yes, they have been working on the ryft bot, but it's for the best. WoW will end eventually (very few games last more than 5 years - wow is just 'special')

      If Rift is the new up and coming guy on the block, then it's best to get a foot in the door - also it's more income, as HB (i personally believe) isn't going to keep pulling in as many funds as it used to vs ryftbot (possibility)

      Now, as far as HB itself - give it some time, they devs are working on bugs still

      Personally I think the game 'burn-outs' people experience are due to the available bot(s) in the first place :D
      Because you don't need to put any efforts anymore to get something special (you let the bot do it all), the fun quickly dies.
      At least that's my experience so far.

      Things I had to work or grind for long times myself, I appreciate much more than all the stuff the bot grinded/farmed/gathered for me.
      I'm sitting on 200K gold with 1 char alone, and I'm just giving it away to guildies, spending it on silly stuff etc.
      I'm bored with the game, because I did all the fun stuff already (since there was no need to do the boring stuff first, I botted that), and I think that wouldn't have happened if I didn't bot in the first place but had to work for it all myself.
      But that is ofcourse from a private botter's perspective (I'm not in it for the RL money, never was, and never will be).

      Regarding WoW going to die, I disagree, or at least not in the near future.
      Ofcourse eventually there will be something new to replace WoW from the same stable, but for now there's still 2 more expansions on the announcement list (1 expansion is confirmed by Blizzard, the second is a guess from it's userbase). So I don't expect WoW to die anytime soon.

      Ofcourse I understand the move of the devteam to jump the bandwagon and make a bot where none is yet (and get all the revenues), and in the end it's not my business after all, as long as I have a bot to toy with that works and does what I want it to do so I can go on my merry way to buy stuff and waste the gold the bot earned for me.

      I only came back to wow because i knew I could bot. I wanted to be able to play multiple characters and only Arena. I hate raiding and wont do the other content. I find all dungeons boring and repedative. thats just me. I dont have to desire to gind out skills or level up characters just to see if I would like them in arena. I would have to say i dont bot for money at all, i dont care about it. I just want to be able to arena and kill people. I find that I got burnt out when i didnt bot but i knew that the only way i was going to get gear was by running a dungeon 500 times and praying my epic gear drops and then hope i dont roll a 1. So i would have to disagree that botting causes burnout. I would say it actually prolongs the experience because it reduces a lot of the mundane boring stuff that is ingrained in the game.

      Another question. Can we use the bot as a HB lifetimer? I think about to play Rift...

      All i can see here is that you QQ that you might not get a trial on the new one, since your a lifetimer. Gratz.

      On topic: Fix the bugs in the current one, then go work on something else.

      Rift is on 50% sale this weekend,(25 USD) so it's tempting for me to buy it. I'm trying the 7day trial atm.

      The delay of the release for Honorbuddy is caused because of the heavy work on the new GUI and the localization. Ryftomate has nothing to do about that. Nesox, Apoc and me are working on HB and haven't touched Rift at all.

      You can expect a new HB release in a few days (hopefully).

      Here are some screenies of the new GUI localized in turkish

      Personally I'm a bit annoyed. Yeah it's nice to have other options besides WoW, but 4.0 came out a while ago and this bot still doesn't do its namesake justice: the BG Bot sucks. Fix BG Bot then you can spend all the time you want on Rift.

      I also will probably look into Playing Rift now that there is a Buddy team bot.

      I have been extremely happy with Buddy products since buying my lifetime.

      So I may pick up Rift this week just to check it out again, played in Beta but not since.
