Hey guys,
i am so done with that shit site. 70% of my characters on 2 different EU realms are not able to be updated / not exists. Instead some level 50 that i not really played since 2+ years shows up.
what do i mean with „not updated / not exists“:
i mean, i can go to WoW Armory or the API itself (JSON) and see all my actual and correct updated stuff on all my characters. But when i go to raider.io and search that characters, raider.io not even have them in search. so, i go on raider.io and click „update now“ and entering my realm and my character, to queue up for updating (i am not a patreon), then raider.io tells me that „something went wrong“ and he can not find my character. this is true for 7 of 11 characters on a EU realm and also true for another 4 of 7 characters on another EU realm.
btw: plz do not advice raider.io client addon. it changes nothing. thx
also the search box can not find some old level 50 character, by typing in name and/or realm. but when i go to „update now“ or simply entering directly the name and realm in the url, the character shows up.
this whole raider.io stuff is so a fucked up buggy shit stuff (not even discussing here the pro/con of WoW influence), i am sooo done with that halfassed patreon/ads shit. dont get me wrong: it was once in the past noble when cool ppls wanna do something for the community, like raider.io or ask mr. robot etc. Thats a nice move. But when that things starting to become an investment and they have to finance them (server costs etc), it starts the need of patreon etc. and sometimes i get the feeling that ppl become greedy and not solely just wanna finance their servers and work, but wanna earn some extra money. Even that is all good and fine. Totally no offense here and i have zero problem with that. It is fine to get paid for what you do/offer. But: Why do they have to put thousands of features into that and bloat it up like ... whatever, until half of it not really works ??? When you wanna do big shit, learn to be a professional developer and do it right, or just stick with the base features. That whole stuff is so bloated and halfassed ... god.
In the end of the day, i would love to say „if you do not like it (because it is broken as shit) then do not use it“. But that shit became so mandatory by the community, i wish that fucked up raider.io ppl just watch closely and care that it works solid, instead of building a super cool fancy website with 1000 features that most of the time not really works.
what a fucked up shit stuff. imo. after 15 years not even the actual game design direction but also shit like this definetely wanna make me to end my wow career. its reallly frustrating.
but this is just my opinion. so, what is your experience with that stuff ?
