      You still haven't given any examples of what you've actually found nightmarish about the interface.

      And the bot is actually offered as an executable and as a zip file. That changed with the last release of the bot. If you can't figure out how to get one to work, try downloading the other.

      Programs of this sort are rapidly changing and adapting to the rapidly changing and adapting game it's made for. I doubt making a grand installer is one of their many goals seeing as with the way the program updates you'd have to go through the installation numerous times which for most people is rather annoying. Not being able to operate an unzip program is rather unfortunate and very uncommon on the internet, this bot isn't exactly made to hold your hand. While I do agree that the advertisement and checkout process needs some work, the bot does not need to cater to the internet illiterate.

      1) The forum is the best place to deliver the bot, but there is a page at the top showing you where you can get the new bot which is always updated.
      2) Setup.exe is now given to you, but you're going to have to run it and install to a different folder every time because there's no way to make a complex updater for this program. Most people find it easier to right click and unzip it.
      3) Finding something on your computer and unzipping it is a miniscule process that needs to be learned to operate a bot of this technicality. Most kids in highschool know how to do this nowadays, no offense.
      4) The installer has no way of altering your shortcuts to run the programs as administrator. You'd have to supply it with the locations of the shortcuts, wasting more peoples time.
      5) The installer has no way of changing your WoW launcher settings to 32 bit without having it ask you where it is, wasting yet again more technically inclined peoples time. Dx9 is not required, it works with Dx11 now.
      6) You can run WoW from the launcher, because no matter what you open the client or launcher will force you to update regardless.
      7) There are plenty of documentation areas that explain these things that you need to find. Bloating the software with a help guide would not be ideal.
      8) Dropdowns are not difficult, and combining bots is more complicated than you think.
      9) A link to a page with profiles is more bloated buttons in the program, people should notice by glancing on the forum homepage where to find profiles.
      10) Complicated installer is not possible nor wanted as it would have to delete the entire installation and reinstall to prevent conflicts and crud buildup.

      Nobody is insulting you, but they can't cater to everyones misfortunes and peeves with the program. They spend most of their time fixing the bot after blizzard wrecks it with updates and hotfixes. They will answer any support question as will other people on the forums to help you get started and get familiar with the bot.

      Just wanted to say I am not one insulted (or one finding all this complicated) it is first poster that was insulted for being average human with average computer skills, and since i spent a lot of time working in office as tech support i tried to explain what would for average person be complicated with honorbuddy, and that instead of insulting him for low computer skills, he could help him instead

      It is a forum, you will find a rainbow of personalities. Some peoples slice of the rainbow is a little moldy and malformed.

      There is a huge, HUGE difference between installing the bot and getting it working and writing your own LUA code.

      are you saying learning LUA is easier? or harder than installing a bot, a routine, plugins, and profiles?
