Pretty simple :D I said it in a previous post.
First of all, it's not "Why are you making bots" but "why did you make a bot?". This is my first, and only, bot I made so far. Also it sounds like you're saying that I owe all my expertise for making programs for you guys, and without you guys I would know nothing. That's completly not true ;)
Second of all, reason why I made it was so that I can go through the grinding areas of the game without any issue. This bot was originally supposed to be made for me and my friends only, that was all. However I felt that It was rather stable (atleast back then) and worked quite decently, so I decided to release it to the public.
Then, after releasing it to the public, the public gave me nifty ideas on addons to the bot which I did. Then I decided to go out of my way and make it compatible with a version of the game that I do not play at all (the PH version). In the end, all I got were more and more complaints.
During this time, I made a lengthy f.a.q. with the hopes that people would read it, have their question answered, and put less pressure and fatigue on me. Aparrently 90% of the people here don't care and decided to post "herp this don't work, why no work?" messages in the thread where I had to lead them by the hand to the f.a.q. and point it to them.
I said it before and I'll say it again: I program for myself. I'm in highschool and lead quite the busy life as well. I am not a person that has to do this sort of stuff for you guys, I just do this for fun and decide to share here and there. I find programming fun in the things I can do with it and how it can make my life easier. Most of my projects are usually half finished: I complete them up to the point that I'm satisfied (which is usually the goal I set out for the project at the begining) and then move on to another project. This bot project would probably have to be the first project that I kept working on it and maintaining it because other people request me to do so.
And so, sure some people here give me fame, +reps and praises, but what's the purpose of getting that xD? So quite a few anonymous users say "hey, I like your bot, good job, can you add this please? thanks in advance". And that's all it seems =(
So yea, basically I consider this project scrapped for now. I'm working on the new beta bot because I want to see it reach the lvl of the original bot, without all the instabilities. Once I get there i'll drop the project as well. ATM I'm working on two other projects as well. The Chat BoI project (which i'm not gonna continue releasing it publicly) and a new project that is quite advanced which I'll again, keep privately.
I'm not quitting out on you all, just remember that I'm a person too and that I lead a life as well. So school started, busy with that, have other real life stuff I got to do, busy with that too, and I come back home, go on epvp and I see complaints. Makes me motivated to work for you guys? not so much ;).
