Re: TP Botting
for now my only response is, i wish i had all that money to make such an offer… although i believe you, in fact i noticed a similar attitude whenever i place offers for some rune… it’s a matter of seconds, since i am no patient i usually end up buying at the lowest offer and magic the previous competitor disappear… whoever he/she is he/she has all my hate

I’m someone who under/overcuts by more than 1c because I realize that the current price snapshot I’m seeing is also being looked at by other players who all are planning to under/overcut as well. It’s not just four of us competing against one another in the M.U.L.E. auction screen but against thousands of others.

They still haven’t done anything about this activity? I was going on months ago. Let me guess there are still bots warping all over the world gathering as well?
They can’t stop it without completely redesigning the TP to make it not a website. With a little modification, it’s possible to bot the TP from within the game itself, so it’s not like they can really do anything about it that a bot couldn’t just work around.
Since the TP is a website, I assume they originally planned for it to be a part of the extended experience. If they ever officially release an API for it, botting it will become a feature, since one can’t exist without allowing for the other. Playing the TP from a mobile device is already possible with 100% functionality, but you have to leave the game running somewhere.

Moving outside the bounds of a map flags your account. All those people that fell a few times in that bugged jumping puzzle a while back got auto banned.
I know this is in the Tin foil hat area but could those bots be run by the company that made the game designed to up the economy?
Either way it shows how broken the Trading post is.
So what you’re saying is … you act like a bot to accuse others of being a bot. Not only that but the bot is actually closing gaps so people get a more fair and stable price?
What’s the difference between a bot doing this, and a player doing this and how does it negatively affect anyone (since the person selling the legendary with get a fairer price under bot-driven economics)
What’s the problem? You really think the TP would be better without bots actively stabilizing prices and closing exploitable price gaps?

Tin foil hat area is immediately discarded in my books. Evidence go before meaningless accusations. Not only that but slander is illegal in my country which marks your post because it’s not allowed to post illegal things in this forum (read the eula)
Either way it shows how broken the Trading post is.
It shows the TP works just as well as the real world economy which, despite all it’s flaws, still gives us electricity, computers, games and the internet. What’s your alternative to the TP?
Saying something is broken without evidence nor potential improvements makes your post rather shallow in content.

Sure, the bots could be run by the company.
I could sprout wings and fly too.
I know you don’t like the game (as anyone can see from your post history) but it is really necessary to personally try to implicate Anet in some sort of activity for which you have less than no evidence?
