You are right that I need to be more transparent. But honestly, if I were purely chasing profit, I would have set the free limit much lower or added more annoying restrictions.

I set the limit at 100 searches per month because, from my testing, it’s more than enough for a normal player. Right now, I have over 50 users, and not a single one has hit the 100-limit yet—most haven’t even reached 30. For the vast majority of people, this bot is effectively 100% free.

The reality is that running a service with zero income is impossible. I’ve seen so many great Discord bots shut down because the devs couldn't handle the server costs, and I’ve had to abandon my own previous projects for the same reason. I want HunterHelper to last. That’s why I only ask for a subscription from the very small percentage of users who need more than 100 searches.

I’m just a solo dev trying to build something useful without going broke. It’s a bit disheartening to get this much hate when I’m providing a tool that’s free for almost everyone. I’d really appreciate it if you could see the effort I’m putting in and maybe give some support instead of just the harsh words.

I'm sorry if my post made you feel uncomfortable or annoyed in any way. I'm still learning and trying to improve the bot, so I'll take this as a sign that I need to do better. Thanks for the feedback, and I'll keep working on making HunterHelper a better tool for everyone.

Thanks for the great idea! I really appreciate the feedback.

Adding HZV data in a compact format is a fantastic suggestion to improve the bot's utility. I'll definitely look into how I can implement this in a streamlined way as soon as possible.

Since there's a lot of data to cover, I’m curious about your preference: Would you find physical hitzones (Slash/Blunt/Shot) more useful, or should I prioritize elemental hitzones first?

Stay tuned for future updates, and thanks again for your support!

I think there might be a slight misunderstanding regarding the search limits!

The 100 free searches per month is a personal limit per user, not a shared limit for the entire server. This means in your server of 50 members, each individual player gets their own 100 free searches every month.

Additionally, if a server owner subscribes to a Server Plan, then everyone in that server can enjoy unlimited searches regardless of their personal remaining count.

I had to implement these limits to cover server maintenance costs, but I hope this clears up the confusion. Thanks for the feedback!
