The sad truth is that Bossland's business model is set up for failure. I'd go elsewhere, but there isn't anywhere else to go. Other bots I've tested are a joke compared to the buddy line of bots and the community we have here.
Without that community though, there would be no Buddy bots. Either Bossland doesn't understand this, doesn't care, or just doesn't make enough money from their "other" bots to bother with giving them proper support.
What I just can't wrap my head around is that the cost for basic functionality is being passed onto the end user. I fully agree that the community developers that make the bot base actually useful should be compensated for their work, I just think it should be Bossland doing the compensating. After all, the ONLY reason to buy one of their bots is for the community developed content.
All of the bots I've used (RBB,DB,EB) would be basically useless without the community developers.
This is what it says on the purchase page for RBB:
Fatebot - Wouldn't be possible without community developed combat routine.
PvP bot - I was under the impression this wasn't even working. Before the HW update, of course. Still, wouldn't be possible without a combat routine developed by the community.
Leveling & Gathering & Raiding & Fishing - All community developed.
Crafting System - Wouldn't be possible without community developers.
Bossland either needs to make it perfectly clear that we are just paying for a basic bot base and need to be adept to expert programmers to actually get any use out of it, or they need to start supporting the people creating what they are advertising.
That's just my 2c on the matter.
