Sad sight to see (State of Profiles)

[xaq]

I was going to write a long ass reply about profile writing and how it's just not that difficult - but nevermind....

I realize I fall in the expert botter, computer science, CCIE group - so writing a profile for me is not a big deal, yes it absolutely COULD be easier, but complaining about FREE user submitted profiles is silly - the reality of it is while writing a profile is not hard for me, I acknowledge it may be for some but truthfully I'd prefer it stay that way because there will be far less dumb botters...

I would agree that it would be nice for the dev team to have a built in profile writer, at least for waypoints, as it stands now you have to manually cut and paste waypoints and faction IDs, I believe at one point there was a plugin that helped you do this?

I think what the OP meant to say is there is a lack of quality profiles. Sure there are tons of them but like he said most just post and abandon them. However, they are free. I never started making paid profiles until recently and still release quality free profiles to keep my awesome fans happy. My paid work is what keeps me going. A donation is like getting a flask of stamina. It keeps me going and knowing people like my work and appreciate it.

I will always be here as long as I am using Honorbuddy. I was approached by Bossland and asked to work on the buddy sites so it is clear people notice my work and creativity. I think that is what is lacking most in the community.

I also believe in putting effort in to demand effort out. If you make private profiles for yourself, make some public and be the spark of your beliefs for the community.

This goes for anyone who thinks the community lacks in any way.

your profiles rock. even the free ones. with your fools cap unlimited v2 profile i still clear 15k daily farming with it. i just wonder what i could make from a payed one.. keep up your awesome work bro cause ur profiles are epic.

I have a Dailies Profile setup over at The Complete MoP Dailies Experience. While it only covers maybe 50-60% of all dailies so far, I'm adding anywhere from 1-10 quests a day when I can. This is fun for me, and I love the feedback I get. I even started on the 5.1 stuff using the HB Beta to get coords, just to get started.

Oh, and it's free. Unless you want to buy me a mountain dew haha.

I always seem to have problems running down you "pay to play" guys. I really wish somebody would make an all inclusive post that shows the links to all the legitimate people selling profiles and routines. Would be great so i know where to go and spend my money

I guess I'm one of the bad guys because I sell my profiles I don't do offer a free very basic version of them to the public and they work.

But I look at it from a different perspective I'm selling people things I personally use for my farm and I don't want a bunch of people on the profiles to just kill the profile and have to make all new ones

Because let's face it HB point users are while players and 99% of all while players are morons don't believe me look in the band section that will prove it

Anyone says that they can't program up profile I'm sorry that you haven't actually tried

I think China Jade said it best if you really want to know some things about yourself take a look at how to install HB on the HB wiki

My Daily quests work. -.- only thing is I have to do a clean install of HB each time.

Your calling people leechers and complaining about bad profiles? Learn to code them yourself if you aren't happy with what we have created already.

what profile do you use for dailys?

I personally make profiles for myself for just about everything. However, the daily quest profiles out there seem to work great. I've used two sets out there. (I don't remember the names) but one does Klaxxi, Golden Lotus, August Celestials, Shado Pan... then I switched it to the other and it does Tillers and Cloud Serpent. I don't really see "tons of crappy profiles" out there. Making a gathering profile is simple. Making a questing profile is a little more complicated (but there are a few authors who's profiles work flawlessly right now) -- another problem was the bot itself for a while, but that's another story. Grinding profiles are simple. Fishing profiles are simple. BG profiles are simple. I don't even know what I'd even pay for at this point.

I guess my point is that anyone can code these profiles if they spend 30 mins to learn it. Maybe a couple days to perfect it. Then 15-20 mins per profile for the easy ones like gathering, grinding, fishing, etc... and a little longer for questing and stuff.

As you probably have noticed by now, your signature is now cleared.
I wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't say anything.
