[Request] Randomizing GB2 Hotspot Plugin

[twistedcf]

Hello community,
So for some time now GB2 has been high on the ban rate because it tends to follow each hotspot to the T. I know bounce and randomize hotspot has been added but it tends to not be optimal. Im curious to those Plugin writers out there if there is a way to write something up where it fetches the next hotspot and randomizes the X Y Z coords slightly say +/- 5 and then moves to the altered hotspot. Otherwise any feedback on how to run GB a little more safely would be appreciated. I already use a relogger and schedule multiple paths so it does switch up from time to time but ultimately this said plugin would make it even better. Thanks!

best way would be to manually pseudo randomize on your own.

take every hotspot, duplicate them
shuffle the duplicates somehow (maybe place in excel next to a random number column, then sort by those randoms?)
then take each x and y and add a random value between -X and +X (you decide how much random variance you want for X to be)
take the original reordered, the reordered with slight shifts, and repeat the process.

If you do it right, you'll still have minimal stucks to adjust for after the first pass through of it, it will zig zag all over the place with a reasonable variance of between -2X and +2X to distort any heat mapping checks and 4 times the number of hotspots you started with so it never really goes to the same spot exactly for many minutes.

If this isn't enough, you can take one set of X variance, and switch the polarity, or take the X shift of the previous hotspot, or any other number of manipulations that would be easy to setup in something like excel but would be hard to reverse engineer to detect.

Pros:
Better detection prevention: You won't be at the exact same way point as the next guy.
You will beat heat mapping and be less likely to be reported by players since you're forcing GB2 to deviate from the "fastest" movement from hotspot to hotspot.

Cons:
Some way points may get you in combat or stuck and will have to be checked.
You may be further from some node spawn points and not "see" them. Dropping your NPH
First few hours will need to be monitored by at least extensive log checking to look for bad hot spots.
Due to random shifts, it may become "stupid" in some areas like rechecking a spot it was just near.

The question you have to ask: Is botting about efficiency of collecting resources or not being banned as soon? Releveling a tauren druid with 310 flying and the other bells and whistles takes time and money, so is it really more efficient to max NPH or never be caught at 60% of max NPH?


if people want specifics on how to do in excel, I could make an example in short order, but I don't know how to do with plugins or anything like that
