[Suggestion] New Forum For ArchaeologyBuddy

[ralgex]

Wasn't really sure where to put this (maybe we need a suggestion forum too!) so apologies if it is the wrong section.

Due to the popularity I think it would be useful to have a separate area for ArchaeologyBuddy under the Free section, much like there is for InstanceBuddy already. Another idea would be to have a Bots category with forums for ArchaeologyBuddy, InstanceBuddy, Gatherbuddy2, etc inside.

Currently people are posting in the ArchaeologyBuddy release thread like crazy, usually with the same issue, so it becomes difficult to extract useful information without reading through the whole thread. If it had its own area there could be one thread for one issue/bug hopefully followed by a fix/workaround.

Thanks.

i second this.

I do not see it as something useful.
The bot just does his thing. There is no need for a entire category/subforum. There are not many options that need to be tweaked nor is there alot of support that has to be done for this bot.
It just works. End of story.

Thanks for the feedback. Just to throw some numbers about:

[BETA] ArchaeologyBuddy - An Archaeology Bot (with flying) - 1661 replies.
ArchaeologyBuddy - An Archaeology Bot - 505 replies currently.
Thread: Gatherbuddy 2 Discussion Thread - 146 replies currently.
[Bot] MrFishIt for Honorbuddy - 223 replies currently.

They are a lot of posts for things that "just work".

Maybe another category/subforum would make the site a bit more confusing, I'm not sure, just putting the idea out there!

If it was something as complex as HB then sure. But its sort of a plugin. Its something simple that just works. Another category just for this will clutter the forums even more.
Its hard for newbies to even find something around here if they don't know anything.
Just let it as it is and everything should be fine.

its hard for them to find things because everything is so clustered and jammed together..

looking in 1 thread for a ton of differnt things does not work.. I say give it its own forum so it stands out

Well you see the thing is ... You can't really "make profiles" for AB.

You can make profiles for GB
You can make profiles for HB
You can make profiles for Fishing stuff (if it supports it such as AA, hopefully eventually mr.fishit)

No, thats not useful. We don?t need a separate forum for that!

I personally think its a great idea to give the AB its own forum. The "noobs" would be better off finding information through the forum because it would be much more organized. And no offense to Raphus, but the plugin does not "Just Work", their are bugs and they are being fixed, but as any developer knows once you fix one thing a whole slew of others will show up. Such as the release issue when it didn't show up in the bots list due to being compiled for a different hb version. The issue with the chars not landing all of the way, stuck issues, the issues with WPL on certain computers (Lags the bot out), the issue of spirit rezzing and not facing mobs in combat sometimes (Dont blame the CC devs for this, Sometimes using AB the bot will not fully face a mob). Coming back to fully red gear while using AB, the list goes on and on. Raphus is a very good coder, and he takes pride in his work, and he does fix his bugs, but I think AB would benefit from some organization such as its own forums.
