Can this be changed so that your not charged unless you've used ~10mins.
Ive probably lost abt 4$ just trying to get certain scripts to work...

No

Well the first thing is to stop repeatedly opening bots if you don't know how to set them up because you're just going to waste money and that's on you. Second, if the bot has a free alternative i'd suggest working out how to set it up using that and then make the switch to the paid version. If it doesn't, double check the overview for instructions before posting on the discussion thread.

If it's not a configuration issue but rather a bug with the bot, make sure to post a bug report on the discussion thread giving as much detail as possible and using that bots bug report template if one is provided (usually on the overview page).

Note: Wait for the author to say the issue has been fixed before trying to run the bot again. Being impatient and not waiting for a response will only result in you wasting more money.

As you've said you ran it for .1 of a second, i'm assuming the bot is crashing. If this is the case, why the hell have you tried over and over again, so many times that it added up to $4?

You can also stop people repeatedly opening bots by giving say a 3minute grace period....
If someones going through the effort of restarting the bot every 3 minutes they may aswell put the effort in to play the game.

My problem is that scripts can run into errors all the time, its racked up to 4$ because over the period of a month each time its run into an error or a bug or something along those lines ive had to figure out why its doing it and try to fix it...
Im not saying its one bot in particular but every bot...

Charging as soon as a bots opened is a great way to scam people out of money.

Theirs plenty of ways you could easily fix this, you just choose not to because its better for you.

Charging at the end of the hour would be great since you could easily track bot usage and once its reached 1hour you charge them regardless of starts/stops.

As an example, i open a bot change all the settings and get it ready which takes say 20minutes. The bot then runs into an error and stops. I then start the bot and run it for 40minutes before im charged, i then continue to run the bot.

It should also verify that the account has the required amount on it before starting and put that required amount to the side where it hasnt gone to the developer yet nor has it left the account and instated treated as if you've paid for an hours session of the bot and it can be used whenever.

If ive paid .10$ for an hours session of a bot and ive only used 59minutes, i cant then use that .10$ on another bot since that money is essential in escrow.

I recall suggesting to charge at the end of an hour myself but it wasn't accepted. At the end of the day the person who decides how that system works is @Arbiter so any suggestions should be directed to him. FYI it shouldn't take more than a minute to setup a bot, if it's taking you 20 minutes then you're doing something ridiculous.

Slayer bots.
And it was just an example.

Its no single bot causing me issues.

I really dont see a good reason it cant be implemented to charge at the end of the hour...

 

[creashun]

This has happened to me as well, Obviously being charged at the end of the hour is not something practical because people would use the loophole to use bots for free, but maybe give 2 - 3 minutes or so grace period for you to set up the bot.

On the second hand, you might lose a dollar or two setting up some complicated bots but that only happens once in a while. Once you have them set up it's easy the next time. I don't know how you lost $4...... seems a bit much. These bot owners work so hard on the bots and the cost of using them is so low it doesn't hurt too much if they get an extra buck or two.

if you're talking about my slayer bot it doesn't really require a restart to do anything

Well my idea is just to have a running counter on the server side that once it hits an hour, charge the user. That way they can't cheat the system unless they only run the bot for a lifetime total of less than an hour, lol.

And it wouldn't take 20 minutes to set up anyway...

TL;dr verison of what most people are saying
Try the lite version of the bots. Or ask for help most people will reply and tell you what you're doing wrong.

The running timers great, once the bots started that money can even be put in escrow so even if 1hour hasnt been completely used, the money cant be used to then do something else.

Not every bot has a lite version...
And some bots do take 20mins to setup, the rs3 slayer bot as an example, it needs a gear preset for each attack style and then theirs many other options.

I really cant think of a reason that this cant be implemented and the half assed comments from arbiter and BDot seem to do nothing but boost their post count..?

Dont use premium bots then plain and simple you just have to bot smarter now

Never said it's impossible. But some bots that offer a certain thing happen to be premium only.

Your right then there are bots that you pay for those extra feature and they end up not working. I havnt tried your bots yet but they look good gonna try the slayer bot after i get my combat up more.

 

[botlover69]

I so agree with everything this post is about! So many times have I used a free script and loved it so much I've gone to the premium, for the client to be overloaded with options and freeze on me and wasted money. Some scripts or even the client sometimes just have issues and crash so why is that fair to waste someone's money? In the end we spend more money paying hourly than paying upfront for a lifetime script from other sites.

Please implement something better!
