Honorbuddy loot: walks back and then to loot

[Flacito]

Whenever HB kills a mob, it walks backwards, and then back to the loot again, making it look very bot-like when it does this with every mob it kills/loots. How to fix?

Hi Flacito,

I have also reported this behaviors at http://www.thebuddyforum.com/honorb...ings-ive-notice-there-any-fix-way-around.html

But seems there is no ETA for a fix yet but I think there was a plugin somewhere that makes you loot while in fight I will try that if I can find it again to see if it makes things better.

Hi, all,

This issue is:

• HB-475 ("Loot dancing"), and
• HB-630 ("Looting is incredibly botlike at level 90 for rep farming")

Both of the issues are still open. One of the developer notes may provide some insight to the issue:

We can't just generally wait 2 seconds for loot as that appears bottish when we're farming stuff that doesn't drop loot.
...
If it has dropped loot, then ideally the mob should be included in the loot targeting as soon as it dies so ranged will pre-move towards it, and melee can wait at the corpse. If the loot flag doesn't appear within 2-3 seconds, then we can remove it again and behavior is back to normal.​

The fundamental problem (and not everyone experiences it) has to do with round trip time to communicate with the WoWserver. Your individual network latency greatly affects this.

cheers,

Or perhaps have a blacklist for not looting from NPCs that drops nothing? But my rogue which is melee was doing that as lower levels it only started not walking away and walking back to loot towards level 50+ at lower level with a goblin rogue like 1 to 18 it did that a lot.
