Those three sentences kill all the motivation you (may have) built up before.


I wish you good luck with your project!
I guess that you know just as well as me that an open source bot is going to be investigated, eviscerated and put into the detection engine of warden in no time. Although I like the ideal o having a source code that acts in a "viral" way, meaning that even if Blizzard comes at us and shuts us down, someone else will continue with a spinoff, this would just make things easier for Blizzard to get on our tail.

And the point of having the source code in the hands of non-developers.. well.. what's the point? I mean.. if you're a developer and you want to contribute to the project you will have access to the source code just like every other developer. Giving the source code to someone who couldn't even read and understand it doesn't make sense. My aim is at having a bot that doesn't cost a thing and that more and more developers can contribute to as time goes by. That should be the main focus because it would allow the whole community to benefit from this.

I'm not stubborn. Speak your reasons and I might agree with you at opening the source code to anybody, but prove me how it is worth it.


And that thing about zolo is just a matter of fact. That bot has a lot of features that this one lacks, so it would be a better starting point just like any commercial bot could be. That doesn't mean we can't get it to have as many features as zolo in a short time, given there's enough interest and enough developers working on it.
