No price spikes for rawhide leather sections, even though its topping the charts for half a year now.

@Wanze, My comment regarding seeing it everyday was more about the price spreads. I will use totems for example. There was a time I was buying some of those to balance out having full sets of all t6, this was when they were selling for 17s and bids were in for around 14s. I would see one listed for 14.01 buy it and as soon as I would another would appear for 14.01 I would buy it and within 2-3 seconds another would appear for 14.01 Did this at least 15 times in less than 2 minutes. All the while there would be bids of a few hundred at 14s

I see this type of activity on many different items. I suppose its very possible someone could actually list it for 1 copper above bidding prices. What I find odd is many times it will only be one or two available at a time like that. And as soon as they are bought, one or two will appear again.

Not that I am against people doing this at all, whatever blows their skirt up I guess. (I don’t do it) If that is being done with the intention of getting unsuspecting people to just sell to low bidder thinking that’s what they are generally going for, I would call that manipulation.

I have noticed this EXACT thing! I wanted to buy 10 units of a product, and always there would be an order of 1 unit for 1 more copper appearing above me. When that 1 unit was filled, there would appear another order automatically for another 1 unit with 1 copper above the bids.

This would happen in a matter of less than 1 second every time anyone bids, effectively botting the demand.

Now I’ve seen “1 copper” wars on demand. But this is robotic on many products… has someone figured out trading outside the game client? or abuse game client with clicking software?
