BIG FULL EXPLAIN HINT: BLOOD SHARD IS CURRENCY, SO WITH THAT BOX UNCHECKED IT WILL STILL PICK UP BUT IT WILL IGNORE AFTER 500.
LOL. Just LOL.
You are both technically correct, and at the same time very,
very wrong. All that setting will do is make the bot ignore blood shards if unchecked. So no, it will not "still pick up"
at all. If the option is checked, the bot will specifically seek out blood shards. Big difference.
On the other hand you are unchecking that setting to take advantage of an in-game mechanic. As the game will automatically pick up blood shards when you are close enough, you are relying on this effect to work properly and to pick up blood shards at the same time as other stuff close to them. This will indeed work and have the effect of picking up any available shards up until cap, but it is
nowhere near the same thing as having the bot specifically ignore shards at max cap which is what you claimed already exists and is there for people to toggle on and off.
EDIT2: Please also realise that this method will
not work if certain loot settings are unchecked. Let's suppose you kill a Rift Guardian and only want to loot legendaries and that's all, not even gold. If no legendaries drop, the bot will not move to the loot spot and you
will lose blood shards.
So, perhaps next time you should be less of a dick and say what you mean rather than making out other people are idiots for not working around the bot limitations and using in-game mechanics to achieve a similar result?
