wowrobot was the best bot around, their nav system was amazing. You could simply put a to b and the bot would walk through a whole zone without an stuck.
What DB needs is a good proper nav system. The one we got today are complete shit. Even the diablo 2 open source bots had better nav systems.
Honorbuddy does that already. (And has done that since V2)
D3 is not D2. If it were D2's nav, we'd be done with it already. They've completely changed how it works on a very large scale. Please don't compare cars to danishes.
Regardless, profiles are trivial for new users to pick up (that's why we chose XML and the tags we have now). It should take no longer than an hour for anybody unfamiliar with the bot to create at least some sort of profile. I'm not saying you can write a full-act profile in an hour, that's just silly. But simple profiles are trivially easy to create. (Go ahead and give yourself an hour to try it out, you'd be surprised) Laziness is not an excuse folks, sorry.
Also, we're working very hard to get the last "big" functionality into the bot (random dungeons), however when we're fielding threads like these, it takes away from time better spent elsewhere.
@OP; As I said, random dungeons. These 10 second Sarkoth runs are terribly detectable by server-side detection means (things we can't possibly get around, outside of "longer" runs). Also (and take this with a grain of salt) I believe they're finally starting to look at "ok, there's 6 accounts from the same IP, all doing completely different things... big giveaway". Legit users are being banned for this as well (large households on the same connection).
Again, the biggest way we'll be able to avoid their detection, is longer botting routes, and not high GPH runs that take 10-20s.
