I just wanted to say thanks to all the people that have been helping the Dev by writing profiles to help us customers get things done in game. I have one problem that many other members seem to have finding working profiles. I mean would it be possible to have a new method to finding profiles that are based on votes?? I mean the rep idea works great but could be improved by member interaction if HB used a list only that linked customers to comments and vote options. How often is the profile updated with vote option showing a bar grid of 1-10-100-1000.
Updates = votes Bugs Free = votes runs while AFK = votes Easy Use and setup = Vote Guide quality = Vote

I think these things are very important to many new and old users that don't have the time to learn and write profiles. I also think this would help more users that are trying broken profiles and getting banned over it. The end result would be less banned accounts over new bot users and even vet users could have less chance of being banned. The other most important thing more time using the bot for things it works best at saving us from doing boring things over and over. I mean of course some others look at the gold profit and achievements that take months to complete lol.

The idea behind this would be to better show what profiles have been tested and complete and what profiles are maybe more at the starting stage and also a easier way to find these profiles. List all profiles on one page that have vote options in start page under the same setting move the higher voted to the top of the page list. I mean currently HB forums move by last posted or how many comments which doesn't bring the top profile writers out or give the new users a easy way to find them.

I also heard many complaints from people upset about the lack of MoP profiles but am left wondering how many have donated to any of the current beastly profile writers that have given to the community quality profiles used by many and nothing in return. I would love to pay a monthly Fee for top profile writers and receive steady updates as these paid profile writers improve or write new master works.

I think these things would maybe help us users that bought the bot to bot but can't write the scripts we want to use the bot to bot and not worry about the work behind how and or why they work so well. Hell thanks here is a few bucks keep up the good work really does work for many of us that bought HB. I have seen many donation options for these profiles but have not seen any private sales of profiles and even then the quality of the profiles would be more in question.

So in closing I wish all you writers the very best and very thankful you all have given so much to the community and hope HB finds a better way to help you all get a little something back for all your great work. P.S lets not forget the plugins that help a crap ton as well :D

Great point!
I think there was a "tested profiles" section on these forums some time ago. Dont know what happened to it...

In the first week of MoP I started recording a Horde Questing profile form 85 to 90. I released it when it got me to 87 in Kun-Lai summit in the second or third week of MoP. Since then, I got donated €1,5 from two different people. (The €1 donation was actually from someone who thought he had to donate to see the download as he never used SVN before...). Thank you guys, I appreciate every symbolic cent of it! ;)
However, my thread got voted down to like 3 out of 5 stars (we have a thread voting system right now) because of idiots who did not know anything about the profiles. HB had many many navigation problems back then you know... roughly 80% of the replies in my thread (27 pages so far) are stupid things like "how do i donwload omg lol!!!!11" or "does not work" or repeating the ever same questions about errors that have nothing to do with the profile. That made me kinda sad to be honest.
Very few but highly appreciated replies with actually useful bug reports are also there, thank you guys! :)
I finally reached a point at which I don't like to contribute my questing profile any further. I leveled two of my toons with it so I'm happy for now... until I maybe have a third toon to level from 89 to 90.

TLDR: we already have a voting system, many people don't use it for good.

It shouldn't be too hard to implement some sort of download section with categories etc - after all this is built on vBulletin right? :)
 
I would just like to keep the writers that are active now and writing quality profiles and great new plugins Combat CC's a little something back with even just a small min 5-10 dollar donation monthly to down load quality of bug free and updated work. This might help get more writers back into pushing out some great work and encourage new writers to come out of the wood works.
 
Somebody donated me 3€ for my profile pack (I thank him if he reads this), although i have received 34 rep and 120 likes for it :P
 
:) If you're talking about questing profiles:

There's so many things that can go wrong:
gathering - bot goes off the questing way, dies, dont know way back..
kill between hotspot - if you turn this off, bot sometimes ends just running between hotspots, because he's mounted/in form/something else
expectation of uninterrupted running - if you turn profile on midway, bot oftem dont know what to do, because he should be somewhere else...
other CC/plugin issues - don't tell me you've never had problem with druid being in shapeshift while trying to use item/vehicle....
being ganked from other players

1 of theese many things is wrong, and here comes "new botter Joe": YOUR PROFILE IS SHIT!!! PLEASE DIE AND DONT RELEASE ANYTHING EVER AGAIN.....
You dont know, if the profile is bad, or you're doing something wrong. There're some profile packs, which are considered good, and if it don't work for you, you've something wrong.
Rating questing profiles could go soo wrong... you get the idea.

:) If you're talking about GB2/grind profiles:
Every time I'm looking for some profiles, which I'll use for limited time, so it's not worth making my own, I'm looking for theese things:

Stopped gatherbuddy after gathering "bigger number the better" nodes in "at least 6 hours, but anything over 2 hours is good enough".
Herbs: tons
ore: tons
-Everybody should include this in their release thread. After running profile for 6+ hours, bot probadly had enought opportunities to get stuck somewhere. If it's running fine after 6 hours, profile is considered as 99% AFKable :D and good enought for release.
-Profile shoudl be well commented inside, specially blackspots. Which is where and why. Also mailboxes and vendors. Who is where and what quest requirements you need to see the vendor/mailbox
-map of the profile
-Witch what class, spec, and CC has the profile been tested.

With theese things listed, you can see if the profile is good or bad, and dont need some voting system, which user who simply dont know how to setup the bot can corrupt.

Just my 2 cents :)
 
Look at the facts they are very simple once you have bought the bot you first off don't have a clue in most cases how to use the bot let alone write scripts even if it's a plugin. The guides and amount of really bad or outdated profiles are pretty huge and in some cases are the main reason for bans. The result upset customers and upset vet users for the amount of lazy people not willing to learn how to make profiles.

The good news lazy people in most cases are willing to pay but not unless forced sadly nothing seems to be done about it but complaints and moans over the forums. The bot also needs to get updates but with all the game updates there needs to be a steady flow of money going towards the time these programmers are putting into fixing and updating new changes we would like.

The same story when it comes from the profile writers that have completed their testing and finishing touches are over add a min donation at least then you will get a little something for your time and not end up ending your profiles over lack of donation support. I would leave my profile out for a temp time or to DeV-fellow writers get feed back then post with quality vote from people that have shown a great deal of skill within the HB.
