Expecially from someone who had a few profiles out for the more unusual Duties. Having finally achieved a minion group that can do post Ultima content it's been very heartbreaking seeing how rare the profiles are for "most" of the endgame content. Although with that said, anyone with experience writing these profiles; how hard is it to pick up the ability to write these? I have no LUA experience, but I'm not even sure if that's required. If anyone could give me some pointers that would be great. Or, is it one of those things where I just need to look at current profiles that are written and decipher what each part is doing and learn like that?
A good place to start would be Ace's thread: http://www.mmominion.com/thread-8438.html From there It's mostly a game of finding coords that work using the dev tools. What I did back when I toyed around with building profiles was to take a look at an existing profile and then messed around with the tools in the bot until I got a feel for what to do.
Anyway, I know how the OP feels. I shared a profile of my own and still people were retarded enough to hassle me over it so in the end I just took it down.
