Most of those GR bots are dated and garbage. Most people I know have moved onto other APIs than GWA2/GWapi. They might repost an older bot, but chances they did not keep it on their computers.

I dont actually buy your reasoning behind not wanting to share anything.
GR was a publicly accessable website, people who uploaded their stuff there wanted it to be on there and avalible for "everyone" who visted that site to download.
The creaters of those bots, did not take the website down, and most would probably be sad about it (and even reupload their work here, if they werent inactive in the community for years)
Alot of the GR uploads (90%+) were made by people who just didnt visit GR anymore.
They might not know the website is down, and they might not have their old work anymore.
I dont know with how many people you are still in contact from there, but nobody ever took their GR downloads down, so i really dont think people want that info to become private.
We could discuss this for hours, but you dont have to upload it here, i can respect that some people on GR maybe didnt like this website.
But you seem to enjoy the suffering of people who "missed out" on downloading it, and thats something i really dont understand. (i personally really like every single person who still plays and bots guild wars 1 and i enjoy talking with them alot and sharing experiences and information)
gr was full of gwa2 bots, yeah there were alot of outdated ones aswell, but i would estimate it at 30/70 or even 50/50 , so there was still a good portion of useful working stuff on there.
I actually do also remember that u were talking down to newbies on GR (who didnt understand everything, or wanted to get into botting)
and u also were reluctant to share your work/knowledge on there. (you do share, but only with people who "deserve" it from your point of view :P )
So i already expected you not wanting to help in maintaining the great botting database GR created for ALL of us in the first place.
I really dont get why you are so against the idea, i assume you got some bad experience with other botters from the past.
You are one of the most knowledgable guys in all of the botting community,
Im just sad to see you keeping to yourself.
I just really hoped we as a community could maintain the GR information, but it seems like i will be alone there...
I feel abit sad that u seem to have all that I am looking for (Did u copy the entire GR data? Even if u wont share it, atleast its out there somewhere then)
Im overall also very happy to see you still active in the scene.
Like i said above, u are probably one of the most respected guys i remember from GR, that what confuses me even more on your stance.
(it seems like we are the few people who still care about this game)
I know I fucked up by not copying it all myself as it was still up.
But I cant change that anymore
(im happy with my current collection, im just really neurotic and would like to preserve it all)
also remember ur name from gr
