So Amarr has not one but TWO new market BOTS this week.
When one logs out, the other logs in…………
BOTH accounts are OLD - Over 5 years with NO CORP CHANGES in those years…….
Then suddenly Both accounts become active, and all of a sudden you can’t buy ore in Amarr without being beaten by a Bot………… I’ll suggest that they have been hacked or hijacked but whatever the case it’s causing Havoc with the MOST BASIC of market prices.
It’s high time this was put to an end…………
@Team Security - YOU GUYS NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS
As for regular Amarr guys - I’ll ask you to just try it - place a buy order for a small amount and then see which of the two toons raises you up… Both Bots have been pretty prolific the past 7 or more days days given their 5 year lapse in the game…
Instead you take the time to post this thread, why? You’re suspecting they’re bots, yet you don’t report them as bots, why? What’s the point of this thread?
Or you know, just people having tools to tell them when an order is cut, and choosing a new value for that order automatically. Also opening the UI in game automatically.
I do that, and I know other people do it too from the way the orders look like on Jita. You can do something else, and when someone cuts you, you receive an alert, and just click a button to have your Eve client open the market, you just right click modifiy the blue order, ctr V, enter, go back to what you were doing.
It looks like bot for people who don’t know it - it’s not.
Market bots pfft. How about all the bots running the conduits. I have reported so many now and quite a few dont seem to be around the area i play anymore. I figure banned or they moved to new area. I have noticed the bot either uses a faction fit vindi and doesnt dock until dt. I have scanned the vindi’s and 1 had almost 8 bil in surveys The other i have seen is 2 praxis and 1 corm. Neither use mtus. I have followed 1 vindi around for 2 hrs looting his wrecks in a badger. They dont agro or even yellow box.
CCP really needs a way to combat botters but sadly i think its a lost cause
Just my 3 cents worth
Depends a lot.
It’s better to keep your toon logged. It just takes 30s every 5 min, if you want to do it - you can as well wait and only do it when you are taking a break.
If you go for very small price item, yes. But in the long run, if you have 200 offers on sale, each of them being sold for 100+M , that can double your income in the day.
It’s not possible, because the market system in eve is stupid. CCP should PREVENT an order from being buyable for the first … 1 hour after it’s published/updated. So that if you update your orders more than once per hour, you don’t sell.
Well making the hard work easy is part of being smart.
The thing is, if you don’t play that game, you don’t sell, because other people play that game. Actually you will sell, but the gain will be like 1 month after the order.
That or compounding the time between a change in each order. I.e. if you set up an order, and keep changing it, the more you change, the longer the timer becomes on when you are allowed to change it next.
not the one I proposed. you just need to grey the orders that are more recent than 1h for the client, and forbid buying them ; and forbid buying them on the server,literally by filtering them out.
Hu ? No.
I don’t claim they ar bots. Actually, I know a lot of people look like bots, but some things tell me they are not.
I think you are greatly misunderstanding the amount of effort required to update an order. It’s three click, ctr V, enter, next. Of course you can do that only once an hour, when people have cut like 50 of your orders
The other i have seen is 2 praxis and 1 corm. Neither use mtus. I have followed 1 vindi around for 2 hrs looting his wrecks in a badger. They dont agro or even yellow box.
