Just a curiosity on plugins that might not get a lot of attention.
What are your favorite unappreciated plugins you used?

I'd like to try some.
 
MQ2React .... almost mandatory if you run CWTN plugins
MQ2Events .... duck
MQ2TSTrophy ... coz writing the shi1ts to swap the right one in , would give anyone the tom tits

went through the list, and here are some more golden ones

Mq2autoaccept
mq2autogroup
mq2autoclaim
mq2dpsadv
mq2portalsetter
mq2posse
mq2relocate
mq2slotcolors
mq2status
 
It's for those that have the socials filled mostly but other features as well. I don't use them either but once more features are added I'll use it more

If you dont mind me asking, what do you have in mybuttons that you couldnt have in normal socials - hotbars? I loaded it up, but i struggle to find use for it.

Honestly it’s huge if you play tons of accounts whic a lot here do. I’ sitting somewhere around 35 115 chaachters across 6 accounts and always experimenting. So having buttons to carry over specific setups like autoacept adds, switch targets invis and selos commands, back off etc.. it’s so nice to now have to recreate Socials.
 
@Robahn It's not that I have anything amazing or super innovative in mq2mybuttons. I love mq2mybuttons for the following:
  • The hotbuttons are available on all of my guys and the interface is the same everywhere.
    • Honestly I wish mq2mybuttons came with WAY more buttons. I could use buttons for RGMercs, MA, KA, CWTN, AutoLoot, SpawnMaster, and more. My drivers have 6 sets of normal social buttons (72 socials), and my non drivers have 4 sets (48 socials). I could, and would rather, replace the majority of these normal social buttons with mybuttons if there were more buttons available.
    • You can shape the button box like you can with socials now. I like 2 rows of 6 myself and I keep the box in an area seperate from my normal socials BUT if more buttons were available or if someday you could dynamically configure how many buttons you want, i'd eliminate nearly all normal social buttons except the ones absolutely necissary for clickies and other specific to the character items.
  • The hotbuttons are configured via ini file instead of the usual way one would make a social button which is better when configuring buttons meant for all characters in my opinion. I don't know if you ever tried to play with the file for that in the EQ directory but it sucks. The mq2mybuttons ini is really easy to edit and you can apply the changes with /mybuttons reload... which could be a mybutton if I had some to spare.
    • I like to use dannet groups in general (djoin - there's no reason to not organize your dudes), and my strategy is to make the buttons as non specific as possible so they work for everyone (example: /dge kiss /mac kissassist assist ${Group.MainAssist}, any character I am on at that moment can hit that button and the result will be the same every time)
    • I like to have buttons for the local character too space permitting (I wish i could have more). (example: I have both /camp desktop and a /dgga /camp desktop buttons so I could log just that character out or the entire group depending on what I am trying to do)
Why recreate the same hotbutton X times across your dudes? Everyone has some buttons on every dude that is the same. With a little bit of thought into creating buttons that would work for all characters, there's your use case for mq2mybuttons. Then those commands will be available to all characters really easily. There is that wonky crash issue the first time you use it, but Knightly said there's a fix for that it just needs someone to do a thing or whatever.

In summary, I love mq2mybuttons and really wish that it had more than 12 buttons.

Between only 12 buttons and not being able to resize it (or I can't figure it out), I don't use it.

If I could have several of these windows, I would strictly use it. My toons more or less use the same keys. I could make hotkeys for clicking chest item, corpses, etc in addition to the common use cases
 
MQ2Collections is pretty underrated considering 90% of people that I tell about it think it's the groundspawn plugin. Very useful when creating macros and you want to store & use large amounts of data very quickly.
 
An underrated one for me would be MQ2Camera. I don't use the features all the time, but in situations when I do, its game changing.

Situations where you are crossing a landscape and want to see all 6 characters and their surroundings, situations where you are around a structure, you draw the camera back and scope out the entirety of the building and its surroundings, etc.

I haven't used MQ2MyButtons, but plan on looking into it after reading this. 👍
 
I’m a MQ2Boxr fan boy. It lets you do a handful of simple commands. Pause, unpause, chase, camp on stuff like that with a uniformed command. No matter what plugin or macro you are running. The best example would be my warrior is on CWTN plugin, bard is on kissassist, and druid is on RGmercs. /bcga/boxr pause would pause the whole group. I know you can do this with more complicated hot keys but this is so easy for newer people.
