As it stands, a couple isolated bannings is nothing to get worked up over.
That being said, I'm a Rice user and based on the suggestions and recommendations from this thread I went and bought GGLoader and a couple profiles.
Yes its a huge PITA to get going. There's a specific dev who authors a rotation that has a custom loader for keybinding and macro creation. It certainly minimizes the work to get things going, but it doesn't remove it. GGLoader is very dated, and to be frank, of the 6 specs I tried, logged and tested, every single one of them were behind Rice.
But more so than just being "behind" on the logs (both DPS and DTPS) the functionality of GGLoader is years behind on things like @
, @
and even any macro's with modifiers can be either unable to be used, or broken.
Simple things like Taunting, instead of a @
taunt, the client will tab through targets until it gets to the target you've lost threat on, taunt, then go back to your current target. From what I read, there is a way to mark, auto focus, then taunt focus, but setting up even simple macro's is such an effort, I didn't bother trying this 'feature'
Want to kick? You need half a dozen keybindings. K, thats hyperbole, but point is its an absolute gong show. Something as simple as a mouseover kick from what I can tell, isn't possible without paying them 50 bucks to set up for you.
Even when you do get comfortable with creating the keybindings on the GGL client, making the Macro's BP, there's numerous skills that you have keybind in game to different skills in the client. They dont have something as simple as ThunderClap able to be keybound and macro'd. You have to bind it to a different skill, its almost amateur hour over there.
I will say their Customer Service, GGL CS, is phenomenal. Was helpful, polite, quick to reply, and an absolute pleasure speaking with.
I spent 100s of dollars getting GGL and the rotations. It was a complete waste of money.
Anyone interested in PvE GGL I'd say stay far away. Its dated, acts like a unlocker with client and rotations being separate, needs 4 or so addons to work, the 3rd party devs who write PvE tanking rotations, they range from dated and poor, to recently updated and poor. They're behind in every single metric that matters in terms of DPS, DTPS, Healing vs Rice.
I didn't try PvP, I still might, from what I understand they're the best PvP Pixel Rotation available. So thats interesting, but based on the PvE experience, the set up experience, the macro/addon/keybinding experience, I'm not expecting much.
I haven't tried any other Pixel Bots other than Elk, Rice and GGL. I'm always open to trying great rotations though. But without question Rice is the best one I've tried.
Hopefully those isolated bannings are just that, and not something bigger.
