What lies in the future of Exilebuddy ?

[Ratz241]

Hi
Very true about people in the botting community keeping their tricks to themselves, rightly so. The possibility of making the bot truly custom is what got me to buy lifetime a few days back actually.
I'm just wondering if I should be starting to learn the bot codding now, or does it just make no sense ATM seeing as the new core with heavy code changes is behind the corner?
Where do I even begin?
Thanks in advance for any responses!

I would recommend that you start coding right away, look into some simple tutorials with something like C+, start off very basic and become fluent with the foundations of coding, if you do not know what a certain thing means you are going to have a tough time following more tutorials.

Oh and it will most likely be confusing and frustrating as fuck starting off, that's normal if you have never coded before, but once you learn one language it's a lot easier to learn another for the most part, I'm not talking about direct carry over but more so having a general understanding on how programming works.

Best of luck to you, I do warn you that you may become addicted to creating plugins for buddybots and such once you get decent. It's incredibly fun.

This.

Very rare I see someone posting the cold truth and making sense at the same time on this forum, this guy could not be more right.

I absolutely adore buddy bots because with their open API and how things run, it's actually possible to make your own 'bot'. My ideology with buddy bots is that you have a platform to create how you want your own shit to run and it really is a beautiful platform, if you can programme well, you can more or less create your own 'bot', using the buddybot API.

I remember when I used to be like a lot of people on this forum, begging for plugins or becoming frustrated that certain things were not running well, then I learnt to code and the amount of doors that began to open were to put it blunty... fucking insane. Once you can programme, most of your problems just fly out the window, automation becomes even more beautiful than before and you have more or less full control of it. I have only been botting path of exile for a week now, even though I have been goldfarming in a toss load of games for just over 7 years, including using the original Gatherbuddy on the original forums in 2010; let me tell you, it is almost blatant that most coders are using their own private plugins and will not release them on this forum because of the bank they are making.

Honestly, if you have problems or requests, take some time out and learn to programme, it is extremely frustrating at first but you may even begin to love it like I did, It's the reason I am doing a computer science degree now, because I saw the beauty of programming through a buddybot API.

"If you want a job done right do it yourself"

Yup, or pay someone to do it for you, you really won't care for more features to make life easier, unless you have a large farm, and want automation + peace of mind.
It's literally easy shit to do coding for buddy the way it is with the beta.
Heavy code changes? Who cares, you have the fundamental logic from your code what you want to do, changes the api are ape easy shit, change what was changed. Like I can't be blaint, most people want freebies and shit thrown at them expecting it to work without needing to know how it works, times have changed my friends, learn or be left in the dark.

Dude, what are you going on about?
Most heavy botters don't share info beause;
1- money
2- money
3- money
I'm pretty sure if you were making money, making meaning more then 4 digits, you wouldn't want to share anything.. sharing is caring, GGG cares.

The bot is at a stage where you can freely develop, stop getting spoon feed. There are literally millions of guides to do the simplest programming examples, and the bot currently has the most easy way to program addons/etc. Its fucking ont he fly editing.. I don't think there are any bots that currently do that. And when you say a dead community.. you mean, a dead one because you are not making money? That's the wrong way to approach things. I know for sure there are written addons to make life easier, bot better, etc. It's just not being shared, why? Money. It makes the world go round.

I'm not sure what post your reading ? when did I say the community was dead ? when did I say I wanted help (ie spoonfead in your words) ? when did I say I was not making money ? When did I say anything about heavy botters sharing anything ? id suggest you reread my post or just simply move along because your reply to my post makes 0 sense ?

And so the flame wars begin, starting with a post full of negativity.
