Advanced buy orders

[Dav_Varan]

Updated op to reflect this is market improvement suggestion not a bot irradication suggestion as the thread seems to be going off topic.

@Dav_Varan

Every so often a broker ( thread on the server ) would get round to checking the progress of my order.
If an insufficient amount has been brought then the market order would be altered upwards.

@Dav_Varan

market improvement suggestion not a bot irradication suggestion

Your edit to the op just made this a time based botting mechanism. Now, instead of botting all the time, you tell the bot “only do this for x number of days or until my order is complete”. You haven’t changed anything about the actual suggestion, just the way you phrased it.

You are still asking ccp to create a bot the would automatically adjust your market orders for you. You are trying to disguise the fact that you’re asking for a bot by claiming that it’s a tool to complete orders in a certain time. But the mechanism is still ultimately a bot.

So by your reckoning firing missile with auto repeat on is using a bot , excuse me while I lol.
Its not a bot if its a part of the game.
Look it up on wikipedia or something

This is probably the worst attempt at making an comparison I’ve ever seen on the forums.

@Dav_Varan

I don’t see what this has anything to do with what you’re saying.

@Dav_Varan

Why don’t you point me to it? (Pro tip: you can’t, because it doesn’t exist)

Stop asking for a way to bot. You think people are botting on the markets (lol), which is why you literally said:

@Dav_Varan

Pros. Would reduce the amount of CPU required to constantly serve market pages to bots / users having to manually adjust there orders

@Dav_Varan

test of dumb endurance or willingness to resort to bots.

You’ve somehow convinced yourself that there are market bots and are deadset on wanting to bot right back, but are too scared because you think you’ll get banned. That’s why you’re asking for a tool that basically lets you bot in-game without getting banned.

It’d be cool if you could actually admit that and maybe we’d be able to move onto more constructive discussions.

Lucas, there are people who show off these mailed confirmations on reddit and further confirm that the bots, which they’ve reported, have also been removed. You’re not going to claim these are CCP alts now, are you? No, of course not. You don’t seem to be up to date when it comes to botting and punishment. Have you seen their botting presentation from one of the latest mini fanfests? It’s pretty interesting and, according to the people, it really works!

@Lucas_Kell

from what I’ve seen people seem to feel the bot situation is worse now than it ever has been.

This is specifically in reference to Alpha bots that farm Combat Anomalies out in nullsec, not Market bots.

[Scoots_Choco]

@Lucas_Kell

The impression I’ve been given is that botting in all areas is worse than ever before.

It’s not. It’s heavily leaning towards Combat Anomaly bots.

People who say Market bots exist don’t know what they’re talking about.

[Scoots_Choco]

@Lucas_Kell

So now you’re suggesting market bots don’t exist at all? So I can safely disregard anything you say

So you’re dumb AND can’t read.
I said, people who say Market bots exist don’t know what they’re talking about.

I didn’t say Market bots didn’t exist. But you’re free to try and prove me wrong.

[Scoots_Choco]

@Lucas_Kell

That means that anyone who says a market bot does exist is wrong, which must mean market bots do not exist,

Wrong, bad logic here. You want to try again?

@Lucas_Kell

As an extreme example, if CCP officially came out and said “market bots exist”, then according to you, they don’t know what they are talking about.

Also bad logic, but okay.

@Lucas_Kell

Market bots do exist. Whether or not they are as common as they used to be, I don’t know,

So you don’t know, but we should base things on ~feelings~, right?

@Lucas_Kell

The impression I’ve been given

@Lucas_Kell

I’ve seen people seem to feel

Yeah, let’s operate off the ~feelings~ of people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

[Scoots_Choco]

@Lucas_Kell

That’s what your sentence says and I’m happy with that interpretation.

I can’t help you if you interpret things wrong.

@Lucas_Kell

Do market bots exist?

Maybe. Depending on what you define as a market bot, they may or may not. I’d love to hear what you think is and is not a market bot.

I know you think that 0.01 isk bots exist because “how dare someone undercut your order with their own so quickly!”, right?

[Scoots_Choco]

@Lucas_Kell

Automated software used to control market orders.

I’m sure at least one exists. Whether or not is actually used is a different matter.

@Lucas_Kell

Secondly, most market bots deliberate randomise their timing and change values and have operating hours to prevent them from looking like bots.

“Most” he says, as if he knows. Lmao.
This is one of those “I don’t bit, but if I were to, here’s how I would do it” thing that ever EVE player says. You know what, feel free to believe it. You do you, friend. Maybe one day you’ll be vindicated.

Until then, you and people like the OP can circlejerk yourselves about how that person who beat your market orders is most definitely a bot.

Updated op to improve formatting.
Added optional idea.
