Review:
First off I want to say that I don't think Madao has ill intentions, it is difficult to convey suggestions and issues to him because English is not his first lanuage.. which may or may not be the source of the struggles I've had attempting to like this addon as you'll see below.
The store description is 100% false. His defense is he has a 135 IQ and he can't help if people aren't intelligent enough to understand what he is trying to get across. Before he changes it here's the current description of the addon that perspective buyers see:
"You will be able to combine these tasks to other my upcoming Addons. And you will be able to bot schedule. Im gonna add<auto mapswap fate handler / craft leveler /gather handler / Duty handler /squad handler. Also trying to figure out how to combine it with other Store Addon. this addon will provide. <crafting/spearfishing/retainer/go to assigned location > tasks for custom task"
Note the portion about 1) auto map swap fate handler, 2) craft leveler, 3) gather handler, 4) duty handler, 5) squad handler. Nowhere does it state those features will be independent addons from MadaoCraft. After discussions on his Discord channel it was revealed that these features would not be part of MadaoCraft but released individually as time goes on. While I agree some of those could be released under separate addons why would a "Crafting leveler" be released independently from a "Crafting" addon.
My frustrations with communication and what the addon provides (which I don't think is $10 worth), I'll move on to what the addon actually has in it.
*Retainer support (for sending them out on ventures) - Already provided for free by another well established addon.
*Materia management (transmuting) - Already provided for free by three other addons.
*Salvaging gear
*Crafting - Provides nothing different from the built-in crafting bot mode. Doesn't include profiles. I was told "you can make them." Sure, but if I'm taking the time to make one why wouldn't I just use the built-in craft mode?
*Leves - Very basic. Requires you to basically manually complete one leve and travel around before it can run automated. Automated is a stretch as it'll often not turn in the leve item and return back to the starting NPC. Mode throws up errors constantly in the console. I wrote a ten sentence feedback on it suggesting he could compile the leves and make it more automated so you don't have to physically target and select the NPCs to add them, but I was told if I want to offer real feedback I can make it shorter.........
So what does $10 get you? Salvaging gear, stuff you probably already had from free addons, and very poorly made leve support. On the plus side in the future you can drop $10 on MadaoLeveler, $10 on MadaoGather, $10 on MadaoSquad, $10 on MadaoDuty and $10 on MadaoFate and they'll all work together.
