SGather - A simple and powerful gathering bot

[rainbowrandalph]

Ok, so because of all this sgather stuff I thought I would try out shadow bot, it's a nice looking program but the REASON I got it was to gather, now there is a plug-in to gather stuff but as for my experience it's pointless, all I do is mount up on a flying mount, fly up a few yards (if I'm lucky fly into a wall or something) and then dismount in the air causing a fair amount of health loss (if I set it and forgot it, I would be dead of course and not able to gather anything anyway lol)

I guess my point is, why isn't sgather apart of shadow bot or even its own supported thing? since I got whack it has been updated twice, and shadow bot is on its third patch since 4.0.6. (includes 4.0.6a). the only real community for shadow bot is a mainly French speaking one, so even if you translate it, it still can be a bit hard to understand/navigate some times.

so, shadow bot is rather pointless if you want to gather things, at least for me. shadow bot has some nice features, but none that I would really use, so no point in paying for a recurring cost. sgather however, is community supported VERY well, doesn't randomly drop you mid flight, is FAR less frustrating and all over a better program for gathering. make a version over on mmolazy of sgather that's a onetime fee or something that is more supported (or a small one year fee around 6-7euros) of course you could get away with charging more but not a lot of people would buy it sadly, there would be a few like me but most are more on the leaching side and when you have to pay for something if it's expensive, they won't buy it, sooo if you want to make a fair deal of money, keep it cheap, and keep the community strong. (here is another idea, make a onetime fee version with a little more features like "always updated before the free one, the free one has to wait like 3 days or something. but again, don't get greedy on pricing, it's bad business. since most of the profile support is handled by the community, you could even work with a few of them to create UBER profiles for gathering that could be an incentive to buy the ELITE SGATHER! of course sharing some of the profit with the creators, something like that you could charge a fair deal more for, and charge for packs of profiles! like 6euros for the elite sgather, and like 4 for the profile packs. people pay for what they want. the trick is to make it so you have to be authenticated to use the elite profiles, since I'm not a programmer, I have no idea how hard/easy that would be but just some thoughts to give you a little more padding for your pockets.


(keep in mind my experience is only about a few hours long with shadow bot so I'm sure there is SOMETHING I'm missing.. or at least I hope I am...)

AND TLDR!

Nah J/K I actually did, and I have a sneaky suspicion that much of what you just said is already under development. This program is way too good to be free for much longer.

But mad props to you JuJu for all your hard work and for keeping it free for this long. I suspect many will happily pay a fee to use this excellent program.

Would be wonderful if Sgather was no longer a free bot !

I agree with rainbow

lol ppl you have so much to learn... I will say just one thing... you don't deserve any bot if you don't even know to setup correctly the profile for shadow-bot.

I've been a leecher myself but im not stupid enough to ask why it doesent work or blame it. This is so easy bot, make your own routes, blacklist bad nodes, acts pretty normal in combat and flying (even its abit laggy looking) I still havent tried to mailing system/town waypoint. Anyone giving advice how it would work?

I must admit this is best bot i've used. Have seen and trying to set few of my friends bots but took a while to get them work.

Harsh, people have to learn how to use bots. Asking questions helps them learn, comments like yours do not help anyone.

This bot is like watching a TV. After you push few buttons on your Remote controller you can just sit there and enjoy the show.

First of all that was not a question but a exclamation. And second this is not the right place to ask that kind of question and its the last thing ppl want want hear here. So you understand that your <quote> its way more pointless.

According to the mmolazy.com forums, it looks like JuJu is hard at work making sure WHack is secure, as he had to take it down for a bit due to warden investigation, so that means less time available to work on SG. Appears to be a Warden update, so it might be a while. :/

This is completely understandable. Will continue waiting patiently. Thanks for all your hard work JuJu!

well the shadow bot thing was just a story leading up to sgather not being free anymore. because this is NOT a thread about shadow bot or the right place to ask how it works. i'm sorry i cant be a master wizard like some of you and magicly get everything to work on the first try ;P. but from what i noticed from reading on the gathermod French forum was that it has some kinda issue with dual displays, which is what i have. but like i said, i have NO idea what to do or how to do it. i follow what ever tutorials there are but it does not work, i suppose i do have to MAKE my own path since there are none that i have found that work properly.

but like i said, my post was about suggestions to make sgather paid and better supported. not about shadowbot, but to those that wish to be unhelpful and just be rude, think about the fact that not EVERYONE can be masters, try doing some good and HELPING the people who dont get something thats the way to build a community that works. we dont want to become like the steam forums now do we?

you cant expect people to read through 146 pages... and by posting flames about them you make this thread even longer so no one will read the useful posts that are not on the last page.

and for the last page readers: THE BOT IS CURRENTLY NOT WORKING TILL IT GETS UPDATED TO THE NEWEST WOW BUILD SO BE PATIENT AND STOP ASKING ABOUT FIXES
