Hi,
I've gone through the tutorials and barely understand anything.
The bot works fine with Botany in Central Shroud. I can specify what to gather and it runs around gathering.
However in Central Thanalan, where I want to collect Lightning Shards, the bot follows the same path back and forth. Enabling the "Show Path" option shows this red line and all the bot does is walk along it. Nothing else.
Why is the bot walking along a path that has no nodes?
I tried taking the bot to an area with nodes (Spineless Basin) - it just runs back to its little path. What's going on here? The Console log sometimes shows messages like "GetNearestGatherable() failed" - wtf? The nearest gatherable lvl 1-50 "marker" is RIGHT beside it.
How the f*** does this bot decide where to go? How does the pathing work? Why is nothing like this f****ing explained?
I heard that this bot was technically difficult to configure yet exposed a great API and enabled a plethora of custom behaviour, so I was expecting something like HonorBuddy for WoW (how far it is). This isn't about technical difficulty like "click and start" vs "edit profiles and start", it's about documentation. Most of the menu items barely make any sense - would it really be that hard, as a *bare* minimum, to invest a bit and hire someone with technical writing experience/education to create a proper "Help" guide with the terms explained? e.g. the term "marker" is extremely f****ing far from the normal dictionary definitions.
Yes, I read the guides, and I'm sorry but they are crap. I realise someone might have done them for free but for a commercial product, that isn't an excuse.
Really turned off by this bot and the lack of clear English documentation.
