No pre-packaged content? Are you serious? Meshes, grind locations, gathering locations, fishing locations, default skill profiles for all classes, PVP/Grind/Gather/Questing/Crafting/Duty/Party logics. You do understand that these are all content right? You understand that thousands of hours go into the logic behind all the bases, including the profile building layouts/GUI editor to make it simple, etc.
By far, this is one of the most ridiculous complaints I've ever seen. We go far above what we have to do, and what any other bot does. Most other bots give you 0 content, you pay for the API, and any logic is written by the community, including meshes, modes, plugins, and everything else.
As for someone who mainly got MMOminion for the crafting/gathering portion, it certainly can't be denied that it is lacking in that department. Now without Sebbs craft profiles, crafting will be barebones. The bot doesn't come prepacked with unspoiled nodes locations/markers, which is one of the best money makers right now.
And am I the only one thinking how wrong it is to encrypt skill profiles? What if I want to modify a particular encrypted skillprofile and share it with friends? how am I going to accomplish that? This whole idea of locking everything down is sad. We already pay monthly, so we're gonna be asked to "donate" even more to get all the extra bells and whistles the bot has to offer?
No offense to content contributors, but asking for donations for me is the exact same as just asking for money directly. Making content for free at first then suddenly pulling out and hiding behind a veil of "motivation" and "donations" is just an ass move. I find it contradictory that it is against the rules to make direct "WTS skillprofiles/meshes/etc", but as soon as you want donations it's suddenly okay? I thought the point of that rule in the first place was to promote an environment of contribution and sharing?
I mean either way I don't really care, since I've learned a lot about the bot and I can make my own profiles/meshes and whatever. I just think this is a bad path to take and it'll just make people try to take advantage of the community and promote an atmosphere of greed. I know that because I'm greedy/selfish myself so I understand that perspective.
