Can we make AutoEquip stop spamming the log with trying to equip message?

[Altoids]

I've seen it reported here months ago along with other problems (at the time there was no GUI for options). I see that other things seem to have improved, but it still spams my log with

[AutoEquip]: I have two handed weapon equipped therefore I can't equip Skinning Knife into secondary hand slot!

literally every 15-20 seconds! In the log attached you don't have to look far. It covers approx 90 minutes - and the above message appears 376 times... do the math.

I like the functionality of it equipping stuff I pick up when it's an improvement and it does what appears to be an adequate job at that. It's just not necessary to constantly write that to the log. (for that matter, I honestly don't think it needs to check every 15 seconds - every couple of minutes would certainly be more than enough, or initial once HB is started and after each loot/ or other item addition like mailbox).

Could this be fixed please?

Thanks

Since I originally posted this on Saturday, I figured it was likely to be missed by the actual Devs. I'm hoping that one of them could take a look at this and comment on whether they could fix AutoEquip to make it less spammy like I mentioned above. It's just polling and posting about it way too often.

Thanks!

Its in the debug log, its there for... debugging. We won't change it. (It helps us diagnose issues when users have them)

Can I ask why it's checking every 15 seconds? Shouldn't it check much less often then that? Let's face it, every time it checks, it's using 'clock ticks', and running it that often just isn't necessary. Running it initially and then each time the bag inventory changes... or sporadically once every 2 mins... but every 15 seconds? Just seems very excessive to me.

Lets put this in perspective;


HB runs hundreds of thousands of memory reads/writes, injections, virtual function calls, etc, every time it pulses. HB pulses 12 times per second currently.


Having AutoEquip poll every 15s is not going to make or break any performance for the bot.
