Something like this will always be there.
On the one side the devs that wipe their asses of to do the best they can..on the other side customers that don't have any knowledge about software development at all, always complaining about bugs. I think we all know the devs do a very good job and always did...and yeah you paid for it okay....but it is not possible for such a complex thing to make it stable all the time. Honorbuddy works / worked great for a looooooong time and if there are a few problems now and you think they are too big to use the bot, well then just make a break. =)

DaSoul, I started botting when 1.9.6.1 came out. Think for a while what has been my experience so far: Bought a product for 25? and started messing with it. First days were amazing, watching some toons leveling as I learned how to use CCs, edit some profiles and all. Then, things started going wrong with the new releases. Wow crashed when AFK'ed for more than 2 hours, authentication problems, sync problems and on and on and on. The result is I've bought a product that promised a lot, I've taken a glimpse of what it can do, but I cannot fully enjoy it.
Don't misunderstand me, I love this software. I still recommend it to friends (and AFAIK, got two friends that downloaded it and are trying the lvl.1-20 version since two days ago) and plan to use it for a long long time. I have some programming knowledge (two years in Computer Engineering) and know there can always be issues that are extremely difficult to solve, just would like to run with a less-feature/more-stability version while the developers stay doing the great job they're doing so far. I think that would be a great improvement in the whole scenario, because customers would have a better experience (and less complaining) and developers would have more freedom to improve the code. Everyone wins.
Please, don't take this as a complain but a mere suggerence. I like this program a lot, use it every day and plan to use it as long as it exists.

Hb is a very complicated program
there are thousands lines of code,some releases are very stable for all users some not
as an example my last session of Hb(latest release) was about 3600kills on grinding mode(using the STV Parrot profile)
some bugs are coming from user's machine as well
thats why for some people a release is very stable and for others not
as for the auth problems,yes they are big and very bad sometimes
its like all Chinese are against us atm
in all cases we are trying for the best
we love Hb more than you,believe me
thx again for your patience
we love Hb more than you,believe me
Of c you do, it puts your kids thru college.

That's what I'm talking about. Different machines, specs, addons, plugins and a long etc. That's why I understand those problems. I even find them normal and expect such errors.
I know you like your baby, and I must admit I could't live without it anymore too (^_^ ')
P.D.: Is there any method to run the old stable ones? Or "old stable ones" is a nonsense (I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things, and maybe it's impossible to make them active again -sorry if I'm wrong-)

Could you please tell me what plugins + addons are you using? I'm aiming for stability and if I must disable almost everything, I will.

Like Tony said..if you compare problems that user have..sometimes they are different. One person can't use it for pvp as it crashes...others are botting chars in pvp without any problems...so it can't only be a hb problem. I have a lot of friends that started using honorbuddy and i almost always did the bot configuration and had a lot of different problems on different pc's.
Beginning with missing .NET 3.5 in XP / Vista, errors while botting because of the user account control, crashes cause of windows defender and anti virus programs or even problems with wow itself with some addons...
For example i did a clean win 7 installation on a friends pc and he is currently botting a shadow priest. Before the installation honorbuddy failed, crashed a lot now it runs very smooth @level75 with bliik's grinding profile @200.000xp/hr.
Sure there are issues related to honorbuddy but i am sure at least 50% is bad configured computers with software/hardware problems.

Couldn't have said it better myself. (Though, from my experience with helping people, it's been 80-90% user issues. Most of the time having to do with AVs/Firewalls not letting HB do what it needs to.)
