This idea may already exist, and I just don't know of it, or it may have been tried and failed horrible, again I'm unaware if so.
Anyway was sitting in TG minding my own, watching shop channel, trying to shift some items and noticed the usual spam of WTB items. I also started to notice that most of these items, as usual, were blitzable, and got me wondering where are all the blitzers?
Maybe offline, playing alts or whatever.
What if, all these potential customers had somewhere to send these requests to, what if they would like it blitzed, but were unsure how much it would cost, or just didnt know any blitzers well enough to ask?
What if all the blitzers who decided they needed a bit of cash, or just fancied a bit of blitzing had somewhere to pull jobs from rather than pick random people form trade channel, or our newest blitzers who are still unsure of their abilities, not taking on jobs for fear of failing and an irritated customer moaning at them?
Blitzbot
Anyone who wants to blitz, registers with the bot, gets a job, gets the item. Anyone looking for an item, sends it to the bot, hopefully doesn't have to wait for days spamming shop channel, gets item.
My only problem, I lack the programming knowledge to make this bot. I have spent a lot of time thinking about it, how it would work etc, and I know exactly how I would like the bot to operate, both to clients and the blitzers, the way I'd like jobs to be done, given out etc, but just don't have the skills to make it. Tp be honest, don't even know if bots can be made to do this, just an idea at the minute.
I don't know how blitzes are done by most, other than watching shop channel, or people you've worked with before contacting you, but I like the idea of being able to log into blitzbot and just pulling a job that may already be waiting, blitz it, get paid, job done nice and quick and hastle free.
Anyway, if you all like the idea, let me know. If you all hate it, equally let me know
If this type of bot doesn't exist, and you all like the idea in general, and someone with a bit of bot making knowledge fancies having a stab at it, let me know, I'll draw up all the commands, functions etc I'd like the bot to have.
