Don't get me wrong, this sucker brought me from 34 to 60 in less than a week and a half of casual playing.
So I do love it.
There are however a few things I'd like to point out to see if they can be addressed in future versions of the software or if they can be addressed by function that I am currently aware of.
1. I know that the software and the pathing is really efficient, but at time I find it a little TOO efficient. For example I frequently find myself having to break from the proposed path to turn in quest so I can clear out bag space. I have my backpack and 4 netherweave bags and I STILL keep finding those suckers getting filled up with quest stuff that I may or may not need for quests. To explain, allow me to go to part 2 of my issues.
2. It abandons quests as I level past the guide. Many times since I've hit the late 40's and early 50's, quest drops are rarer and rarer. This means that I'm grinding exp waiting for one of the dozen targeted mobs to drop one (1) of the 10-15 needed items. One recent quest I had a 1-in-7 drop rate for a 15 stack of items. I had to drop 105 mobs just to get 15 items. That's almost 31k of EXP at 295 each, just to round out a 7k EXP quest.
This means that by the time I see the "You should now be LVL "X". If not grind a little until you are" message, I'm 4-5 bars into that level.
So what happens is that the SIS will fast-forward me to the step I should be at for my level and will frequently abandon quests.
As a result I have the problem mentioned in #1 above as well as having to guess what greyed out quests in my log I won't need so I can abandon them to make room for the ones it wants me to take.
Now these really aren't that much of a problem since as I mentioned, I am frequently drop grinding my way ahead and as such missing a step has never been critical. Which I must say is a real plus for your product and a real relief from the "Follow or forget it" attitude other products have. But it would be nice if something could pop up and say "Due to your advanced level, SIS has determined that the following quests should be abandoned" giving us a chance to clear out the stuff in the bank, in our packs, and our quest logs either by completing the quests (and not taking any sequels offered) or by simply dumping them all together.
It would be nice to know if I REALLY need to complete these level 35 quests I've still on my books now that I'm level 60.
Otherwise and in spite of these VERY minor issues and grumbles I do love your product and I look forward to getting the version for the horde (and the updated Alliance one) when Cataclysm comes out and you re-code them both for the new landscape.
So I do love it.
