Like title says, is it worth starting to bot SWTOR? I saw that there is campaign on the BuddyWing atm (15e for one session/year) So I am asking, is buddywing reliable method for botting and how decent is the income from SWTOR? I saw that there was "some" nav-server issues, but as I havent used this bot at all I can't say that they have been since start so I need some info about it.
Updates after patches generally take a day but can take a couple more and after a major content patch it can take a couple more. If you don't mind that or the occasional nav server crash then it is "reliable." They had some stability issues for a bit but there's a few restart/sleeps that they added which keeps the bot going, assuming your internet/game client doesn't crash since there's no relogger until someone gets around to bothering to make one. Grinding is the only thing that's reliable; since the last patch I've been able to run day and night excluding nav server down time. Questing works fine except there's some quests that don't work because of some issues with use item or because the cave/whatever isn't meshed yet or it has issues getting somewhere because the profiles is missing some zone checks/goto code. My bot's in noob gear and using grinding profiles pulled from public profiles and I've been making over 100k an hour easy. As for profits from credit selling:
if it is that stable now with grind profiles then i think that might be enough to save the bot. because recently one of the developers said they planned to stop selling it in january 2013
i don't know where the post is. but they basically said they would honor all keys so if someone bought it today, it would get updates for all of 2013. by the way i have the bot grinding right now on a sorcerer and it still does that crap of running in one direction while fighting sometimes, then running in the opposite direction for a while. while the companion kills the mob. this bug has been going on for months now.
It's probably a CC issue, I haven't noticed it on the default CC lately but I know that Joe's has some extra code to try to prevent that; I haven't had any problems with it since the last patch. :S Joe supports the madness spec, you might want to try that and see if it's still happening
of course credits still sell. you just have to offer a better deal. whenever a game has a cash shop the way to beat them is to sell credits cheaper than they can get from the cash shop. the cartel crap dissapointed me too but people will still buy credits and since this game is so hard to bot that makes it more lucrative than most.
i agree mate, but if you sell cheaper, why bother? electricity - money from botting, really is not worth it mate + the amount of babysitting this bot needs, if you had a job you would be making bugger all
PS: as for beating them, Reducing the price you sell for, reduces it across the board, which is stupid from a selling point of view, you want to get as much as you can, the idiots selling credits for $7 ect.. are complete morons
i don't use this bot to make money. i use this bot to get me to level 15 or so from questing. i use other bots to make money.
