I know what I said in my first paragraph was not anything complicated, but I hadn't read in this thread where any of it was mentioned. Furthermore, I wasn't trying to imply that coding this would be an easy or simple task. I just know from my experience of watching bots evolve that it is certainly possible.
After I had a few minutes to think about the spreadsheet more, I came to the conclusion that with the changes coming in the upcoming patch, with coop play and potential change in regard to how rares drop, that it would likely be advantageous to start after the patch. Furthermore, one of the first things that I would do would be to outline the assumptions made, ie which variable are most fit to be ignored. I mean, I already do this for myself, and after the initial work is done, I do not think that it would be very much work other than data entry.
