Should I renew my license?

[Chololoco13]

The gw is close. My license expired a week ago and I do not know if I should renew it. The game has been constantly updated, these updates have me restless. Viramate is dying after each update, I do not know if these measures can affect zooey bot. There is not a new zooey bot update since September. zooey bot is dead? You will use zooey bot in the next gw? Sorry for my English. Google translator

Hello,

Thank you for raising these concerns.

The recent updates have not been kind with Viramate indeed, which I still use for the much more enjoyable gaming experience it provides. Kate, its maintainer, has been very reactive to such updates and therefore I am not worried about the temporary hiccups. Even without Viramate UI enhancements, the skill and summon shortcuts are very valuable features.

Those issues aside, I am still a very frequent user of my own bots, which I would like to point out can run just fine even without Viramate, and kept me safe from the anti-bot checks which you may have heard about not later than the past week. I have to apologize for the seemingly long absence: things do not always go the way you would like them to. There has been no major updates of Zooey Bot lately as the core functionalities, namely slime/torch blasting, event farming (some fellow skyfarers farmed entire sparks during the last story event, even ending positive in terms of AP potions), Angel Halo or weekend slimes, story quests, special quest farming and Guild Wars, still being one of the major events, are still fully relevant and supported with the current version of Zooey Bot, even with the last game updates.

All of these are suited for solo play (or become so the more you progress) and are a necessary yet very grindy step on the road towards more enjoyable activities (PvP-ified group events, leaving aside the competitive side for some players, spark farming, gold bar farming, all of which are legitimate ways to enjoy Granblue Fantasy). Note the emphasis on the "solo" part, hence the lower priority which was given to raid back-up requests. Committing to new features as requested by users, such as sliming with 3 or more accounts, is expensive in terms of time investment at the moment. Besides, such features would only benefit to a very, very niche part of the community, which is why they may not see the day for now. If time were the cheapest commodity, without a doubt I would be very glad to cater to these user requests.

To part ways on a positive note, I am still a very active user of Zooey Bot and will use it for the upcoming Guild Wars. I am convinced that Guild Wars is still the most expected event, so should some breaking updates arise during the event, none of which occurred lately, they will also be addressed for Zooey Bot.

Sadly to tell but I just got banned for 1 month while using sarasa, second time. The first time was 3 hours ten days ago because of ignoring the captcha too long. However, this time I had not even seen a captcha or heard the warning sound while I was working beside. I got my last 3 years account permaban in this summer but due to my carelessness for the same reason everytime, ignoring the captcha while sleeping or something else. It was my own fault.

But this time even if I was stay by side with my botting machine, I got banned. I don't know if this is the last chance for this account, but getting banned without alerting did affect my confidence for using it.

@Masuzu do zooey detect the apparently new captcha? see https://github.com/Masuzu/ZooeyBot/issues/960

Thanks for the reply Masuzu, you have my support.

@xerance Unless I am mistaken, this is actually not different than the regular captcha at the summon selection page. You will also find some remarks (https://github.com/Masuzu/ZooeyBot/issues/960) about the anticheat changes which resulted in Viramate shutting down a few times in the past few days.
