No, I haven’t… I’m still trying to recover from all the money that I lost in market changes over the past two days without realizing the changes… Lol… My fault for making all those changes so quickly without noticing what it was costing me… I’ve been a solo player in the Gallente starter corp for almost two years because I like to do my own thing when I feel like doing it… They would take away any structure that I try on my own…
I saw that they caught them doing that…but I really believe that this change is designed to stop players from laying on their orders all day long making it impossible for other players to compete with it unless they do the same thing… Players have been complaining that they’re up against bots making frequent changes when it’s actually players who have realized that keeping their orders on top is key…
I looked on the market when the glamourex boosters were about to expire. There were lots of buy and sell order on the market, some of the buy orders were for hundreds of boosters, all 0.01 isk’ing each other. If those were all real players then they seemed pretty dumb to me - a real player ought to know that the things were about to lose all of their intrinsic value.
Because they realize it as I have…so instead of spending all that time trying to compete with it, they complained to CCP that they were up against bots and automated market order changers… I’ve been in all kinds of markets for almost two years and not once have I encountered a bot making market changes… It’s all been real players…and a lot of them just sit there going down through their orders every 5-10 minutes all day long… I believe that this change is designed to stop that behavior because most players don’t want to spend their days trying to compete with it…
Botters aren’t the smartest people in the world. Matter of fact, if you look on a certain botting forum, there are some genius players that post their actual killmails with their character’s name wondering why they died in a certain situation and why the bot wasn’t working properly. That forum is public, and any CCP dev can read it any time they want and ban said individuals…
