This sounds pretty much like what I've said:

Regarding this, Amabelle only did moonbox plugin for CoAI, I made HuntLeveler, ItemComposer, MeteorUpgrader, WarehouseManager (just to enumerate most of the important ones). But those are just plugins, they're not part of actual bot, but extensions to it.
And I'm pretty sure you're not forbidding anyone from CoG community to develop plugins.
Sad thing that, after I left, no one developed (except new leveler) any important plugin for CoG. At least I saw some trying to update what I left behind (and this makes me remembering DH, claiming that CoG doesn't needs and will never need the source code of my plugins - not that you wouldn't been able to decrypt them, if needed).
We and others do the mod part too, as any other community, including CoG, has their mods. We and any other mod there have no access or merit for updating bot, servers, site, forums or whatever. So what I said still stands. As I saw, you kinda agreed on it too.
I have no intention to start some flame war. Just that, hiding behind the excuse "alone vs team" just doesn't justifies things.
We are all human, we all need to sleep or free time so I won't argue about offline times when those involved in maintaining their products are unable to fix things fast because of those human limits and necessities. Downtime measurable in hours are understandable things (among humans at least, even if some players - mostly from Egypt, no offense here - can't understand them. When downtime or impossibility to use bots to their full starts counting in days, yeah, we can talk about real problems that needs to be fixed in some way or another.
Just that, when I hear from fanboys (or fangirls) that some take more to fix things then others, because some work alone while others have huge teams behind ... let's not induce false ideas.
Once again, this is not to say a bot is better then other. I leave everyone to judge that on their own.
