Stuck detection, stuck detection, stuck detection...

This is a great bot in many aspects, I have said it before.  It is so great that I bought a lifetime subscription to it.  The biggest problem, for whatever reason, continues to be the way the bot handles (or doesn't handle) getting stuck.  Whether it is while the bot has found a mineral or herb and is enroute to it, or just flying the path of the profile itself, this is one of the worst bots I have ever used as far as stuck detection is concerned, and that concerns me.  

 

One example of when the bot finds a mine or herb, if my character is higher than the mineral, let's say near ICC (Icecrown Citadel), and I am flying up over one of the bridges, the bot will literally try to fly down through the actual walkway of the bridge.  It will not move forward to clear the bridge, won't move side to side, won't move backwards, just flies up, then down, then up, then down, then up, then down, I have watched this for 5 minutes straight before stopping the bot to intervene.  I don't know if this is due to lack of the bot detecting an actual floor or wall or anything in the way, I have no idea why the bot does this, but it is not a good thing at all and it is a crucial foundation for any successful bot.  

 

One example of getting stuck while flying the profile, this has nothing to do with the bot finding a mineral or herb, this is just while enroute through the profile itself.  The bot will be flying forward and get stuck on a tree branch.  I am not talking about a huge tree or a huge branch either, I am talking the very tip of a branch.  In this case, the bot does nothing, it just keeps trying to fly straight, the way it was going, so to others they see a person just caught on a very small tip of a tree branch.  All I have to do, literally, is tap the space bar once.  I don't have to stop the bot, all I do is tap, just TAP the space bar and it clears the branch and continues flying the route.  This happens more often than I would like to admit.  I have actually re-recorded entire continent profiles literally to avoid all the trees I could just so this wouldn't happen, but obviously it can't avoid everything, and it still happens very often.  

 

I am not trying to sound like I am complaining, please don't take this the wrong way.  However, this stuck detection problem has been the same and not changed since I started using this bot, and this isn't the first time I have brought this up.  

 

If you guys need me to take a video of this happening please let me know, if it helps I will do so.  Whatever you guys need from me in order to help with this would greatly benefit the entire community, so please, again, let me know.  

 

Thanks!
