Both of you should work on your "reading and understanding what was written" skills.
I said it is against rules to COMPARE routines, not to discuss, this is allowed and also done quite a lot in the Routine Threads.
User feedback is highly appreciated, and you are not tossing away your money blindly, there are trials, why not use them?
I will make my wording a bit clearer for you.
You are allowed to say Routine A is great because it has Feature X and it also supports Talent Y!
You are not allowed to say Routine A is so much better than Routine B, because Routine B just sucks.
And by looking at such "comparison Threads" of the past, the comparison is mostly the latter.
I've said this one often enough here already and i will tell this anybody, if you can provide proper feedback, telling the author of Routine A why you prefer the way Routine B handles things, no developer ever would hate you for that, they most certainly listen to your feedback, think about your suggestions and maybe implement them.
But in the second case, you are helping nobody, all you do is criticize without suggesting ways to improve.
I'd rather read myself through the Threads of the combat routines than having fanboys telling me Routine A is better than B without telling my that is the case.
Also there are the Trials, and guess what they are for? To try it out yourself, nobody can decide which routine fits your needs better than yourself. so go ahead and try them.
Also I am pretty sure you will not find any routine whatsoever, which can do what singular does. If you find one which is superior to it, tell me which one? Tell me which routine can do all the basic things your superiour raid tuned routine can't do?
You wanna go questing or farming with your routine? Oh to bad, your routine doesn't support facing, handling vehicles, handling special cases like diving, etc.
Singular is the one and only routine you can use for everything this bot is advertised for. Everyone and the buddyteam itself knows that singular isn't tuned for raiding, but it's also not advertised for it, there you go, thats the whole point in why you guys can't compare routines, you proved this rule to be neccesary, because you guys do not think before you post. You said singular is inferior, and you are right in some cases, but it's also superior or even the only choice in some cases.
So if you want to compare make sure you do it right.
I'm also shamelessly pointing you to one of the threads where this has been discussed

The rule may sound silly at first, but the past showed that the rule isn't that dumb at all.
