If something is too expensive, hit the gym, lawyer up, delete facebook. Or rather, learn how to make profiles, make your own, then sell them or alternatively give them away if you're not happy with the store. The community dev forums can help you out in getting started and after a few hours you could know everything you need to know to write any grind profile you'd need, you'd just need to take the time to write it at that point (and simple grinds are extremely easy to do, even if you want them to do turnins or the likes).
Is anyone else feeling discouraged about the price of profiles in the buddystore?

not we, i knew this will happen, im not going to pay for anything anymore , all we need is free (leveling) rest is useless for non-gold sellers, grind profiles were never good, i tried use some but was so banable...
p.s. so much about community, a bunch of beggars....
Supply and demand drives these prices. When the demand goes down, the prices will plummet.
Personally, I don't think these guys put near as much effort into their profiles as the people that sell their songs online. On the most popular website to sell music and videos, a song costs about $1. If I was a gold seller, I might need an expensive profile. However, I can buy 30k gold for less than I can buy a profile, and I get instant gratification.
So, I find it very easy to avoid the need for an expensive HB profile.

So, I find it very easy to avoid the need for an expensive HB profile.its not that a profile is just that much, but then multiple custom classes, bot bases, profiles... seriously thousands of dollars. When you don't bot to make money, it really blows. I came back from a long break to come to this... Seems like the the "community" feeling here has really deflated.

how many of you in this thread have actually donated something to the community for free?
a community is defined by its members. If you aren't here donating to the community you have no cause to complain about the store.
and yeah, i see the few of you who make this community great and i thank you.

Have you checked the forums, there's still a bunch of great ones on there.
If you check free one's on the store, you get 1-100 and a bunch of gathering/grinding stuff, including stuff like followers and such.
If you look at the paid ones, sure there's the 150 euro 90-100, but you already have 1-100 which works. There's the 'Omation' ones, which seem more geared to gold seller types.
Most of the rest either bring something to the table, or there's options on the forums. I'm tempted to get the WoD rep one for 15 euro. Somewhat expensive, but it includes 6 reps, not just one so makes life easier than creating them all myself. There's some that don't look worth it to me, but just don't buy them.
If somethings 'exclusive' on the store, then you could have a go at writing a profile yourself (most of them just aren't that hard), or maybe accept that if it is so hard that only one person could do it, then maybe that person deserves some compensation for doing so. It's often a time v's money thing. Maybe I could write something myself (or you could), but maybe there's better things to do with our time, and it's just worth it to pay someone for it. It's worth it to do it for us, because a little from a lot of people add's up to being worth their while.

I've been using Honor Buddy for about 5 years, and I've learned that the free stuff works well together and gets the job done! I use Kick's profiles, and the best Combat Routines to run with Kick's profiles are the free CR's labeled as "Singular." If you stick with those two, you can level any class to 100 in just a few days (4 to 7 depending on the class and spec). Doing battlegrounds and running dungeons with the bot is a good way to get your account banned. The bot is not perfect, and too many people see when the bot makes an error if you are in a BG or a dungeon group.
