Let's take a look at the stats. http://forums.xenobot.net/misc.php?do=botstatsQuote:

Of coarse this math is on the low side, I'm sure he makes more.
Even if he was spending half of that on server costs and other shit, 35k a year is pretty good for simply spending a few hours updating the bot every now and then. We have not had any new features added in quite some time. All he does is fire up a few programs and special tools so that he can update the bot quickly. 5-10 hours a week for 35k-60k a year income? Where does that equal a dollar an hour?
The problem is the time zone difference of nearly 10h? (dunno exactly maybe its just 8h) between central europe and the western us. Anyway, I agree there should be someone else who knows how to update the bot. I mean Darks~ gave us 6 days extra but we have lost already 4days + prem days... No offence just my opinion. We pay, we require.
Well you have to think about the hundreds of hours he spend making the bot too.Quote:

I don't get how people think the world owe them favors. Sit back, have a joint and be patient.

I agree that people should be able to play without the bot. On the other side of the token, we are all paying for a service and certain expectations go along with that. Do you pay your water bill each month knowing that you'd be satisfied with water only 25/30 days for that month? I highly doubt it. I'm not gettin' on his balls either way, I'm simply defending the side that we all have the right to expect it to be fixed in a reasonable amount of time. However, people choose to express themselves differently. You hatin' on those who are short tempered makes you no better or "more right" than them hatin' on DS. If they pay for a service, they have the right to be upset if that service isn't granted as expected.Quote:

I can play tibia without a bot but I PAY for a bot to be able to go to school and it will have done it for me and go out to a party while it does this for me instead of me sitting in front of my computer like a little douchebag.Quote:

It's the same shit with cracked versions of either iBot or Xenobot. As soon as it's not updated the same people who bitch here about the update in an childish way start spamming and demanding them to crack the newer version like they owe them something.
It's quite sad actually how a major part of the Tibia players who use bot are so ignorant, stupid, selfish and non-english speaking. Don't get butthurt over my statement now with "non-english speaking" as most of you know it's true.
Peace out, heading off to the world of essays now :)
Hes online now noobs, @DarkstaR, are you streaming?
You're forgetting around 33% in state and federal taxes. Not to mention that my income is a not only result of my entrepreneurial venture into this niche field, but also a motivating factor for my quick adaptation to the changing environment. There are only a few people able to do this job for the long haul, and you can see that if you look at the bots that have fallen to the wayside.Quote:

In case you don't know, the debug tracker auto submits all debugs to the server when they happen. From there, I'm able to group errors by type, similarity, and frequency. I can also use the accompanying stack traces to fix debugs much easier. This is the kind of work I have been working on.
If you're so impatient that waiting for less than 20 hours is a huge detriment to your loyalty as a customer, you can feel free to switch. Regardless, the bot will be complete tonight and this week will be the last week of delayed updates. You all know I was the fastest before and I will be the fastest again. Don't let 2 weeks that have been spent moving across the country and starting a new job let you forget who the best in the business is.
I will be doing a VLog after the update showing my ever improving ways to deal with updates, for those who are interested.
I owe nobody anything. For down-times of more than a day, I compensate threefold, even though the purchase agreement has absolutely no promise of compensation for down-times. XenoBot is half the price of every other bot on the market. A delay that amount to less than 1/30th of the time purchased is minuscule.Quote:
