[Question]Best gathering bots?

[Crescenda]

I've been using FFXIV Minion for a little over a month. With it, I've gotten seven alts above level 50 so far and several gatherers above 50 as well.

PROS

=Proactive development team which deals quickly with problems

=Uses LUA for writing and/or modifying existing scripts (I'm not a programmer, but I was quickly able to create a quite elaborate gathering profile for farming BTN and MNR unspoiled nodes.

=Reasonably natural movement which makes detection difficult

=Fairly inexpensive -- about $6.00 per month

=Excellent community that furnishes many terrific scripts and addons

=Has an excellent *Assist* mode, whereby users move their characters around but the bot does the rotations

=Crafting, gathering (+fishing) are well supported

=Dungeon runs with full parties and undersized parties are well supported

=Addons are available that will level alts all the way to 60 doing quests (class, job, story and normal). When no quests are available the bot will do FATEs and grind automatically (completely user-configurable).

=Addon available which will level gatherers to 50 completely unattended.


CONS

=Flying is not yet available, though the devs have promised this will be available soon (something they were promising a month ago)

=Like all bots, I don't trust running it completely unattended. Nothing is perfect and bots can occasionally get stuck, making them prime targets for reporting to GMs

I am not a fangurl and I'm always looking for something better, but to date MMOMinion for FFXIV is the best bot I've encountered for my particular needs.

Flying is now working 100%

the bot itself you can make profiles and markers yourself or have someone do it for you in the forums.
there are also paid addons that have quest and gathering packs where you just click and start.
