THANKS AGAIN!

Beta testing is a mutually beneficial relationship. We're providing testers with functionality for free, and our testers are providing us with extremely valuable feedback that will help us produce a more successful product, and we understand and appreciate that. The problem arises when a small minority of testers don't understand that part of the beta testing "contract" is that functionality will change at any moment and you will be required to check in, read the updated information, and modify your settings accordingly. Once the product is live and we have paying customers we try our hardest not to make any changes which are not completely backwards compatible because we understand at that point that our customers are paying for smooth automation and having to change settings constantly defeats the purpose. In order for that to happen, we have to make drastic changes in the beta process as we get more feedback from users. Remember that you're not the only user whose feedback we have to listen to...if you're a minority (and this is very difficult for you to understand since you don't see the volume of feedback we do) then you will most likely have to deal with learning a new system and modifying your settings accordingly. I wish we had the time to please everyone all the time because it would mean more subscriptions and more happy customers, but unfortunately that's not the case.

SFHelper was way much better than this. this just seems very not user friendly.

SFHelper was a temporal solution. Skill manager is better in my opinion, when they solve some bugs in skillmgr i can upload my profiles for shard farming.

Which bugs or missing functionality are still stopping you?

Only bugs are the typos you know.
Functionality is ok for me, don't tested to much but without typos fixed profiles don't work as intended.

I just wanted to say great job on this project. I just started using it, but hands down the best system I have seen so far.
The only real feedback I would have so far is there are so many options that it can be a bit overwhelming to get going. Once you do get going you will love the flexibility.
Great job keep up the work. I know I will be subscribing, totally worth it.
