Since honorbuddy is getting a big update I'm hoping someday soon gatherbuddy will get one as well. Overall this bot is great, there are just a few lingering issues I'd like to see worked on.
Water - Gatherbuddy should learn how to navigate water, I dont know how many times I've come back only to see my guy logged off in water. I think this issue is important because in Cataclysm, there is a whole zone under water zone. I'm in beta, and once you get your water mount it works pretty much the same as a flying mount, but I dont know how gatherbuddy will handle it.
Integration with honorbuddy - I read somewhere that someday there will be a gatherbuddy plugin for honorbuddy. I hope this means we can use the gatherbuddy combat system, because right now my bots look stupid trying to fight another player. It would be nice if we could somehow level and do gathering at the same time.
Unified blacklist - I havent seen one so if there is one forgive me. This is something the community could work on to make one unified blacklist file for all zones... Outlands, Northrend, Azeroth (Cataclysm).
Relogger - I realize there are some 3rd party applications, some work well, and some dont. What we need is one "official" relogger that is seperate from gatherbuddy and honorbuddy and thats smart to handle any situation, whether it be disconnection, crash etc.
Some other cool things that would be nice:
- When the gatherbuddy bot hearths to Dalaran it goes to the forge and smelts all your bars then places them in the guildbank or mails to an alt
- Rebuying specific food.
I'm not here to criticize the bots, I have 9 accounts running 24/7 and make anywhere from 30 to 40k a day. I'd just like to see some of this stuff worked on cause its a big chore keeping track of 9 bots, and i'm expanding to 12 very soon.
Also if any Dev needs a cata beta account to test on I'd be more than willing to help out, although its still pretty early right now to be designing for the next expansion. Things are really buggy in beta.
