Walking Macro?

[Thurrok]

To me, the most annoying flaw of H&H lies in its lack of pathfinding. You have to click a million times to get to your neighbor's place - or even more if he happens to live in a forest.

I know that it's a technical issue and the server couldn't sustain processing 300+ clients' pathfinder systems for long. But why not take matters into our own hands?

I overheard people talking of various AI-grade automation processes that can be realized using macros, involving the ability to check the screen for information (Am I hungry? Where should I click?-type of info feeding). Atleast that's how I think it works, I'm not really enlightened on this subject.

Couldn't this be used to replace/improve the Waypoint system, and thus ease the load on the server AND make it fun to spend quality time away from home? Say, tell a macro to follow a stone road or a direction, activate it, and it will run for you, evading trees, stones and possibly aggro wildlife?

Share your thoughts.

It could be done, and would only be moderately challenging.
It's mostly just a matter of finding someone with the motivation and the time (not me).
