Hey man, I also spotted some suspected bots who always update the price 24h a day.
I managed to get the names of the players. Strangely, they all have below features in common:
- in an NPC corp
- buy orders duration set @ 3 days
- similar contract history, they all bought Acolyte I BPO at 500-700m ISK
a couple of times - characters were created around mid July 2017
- they seem to be targeting items that have wide gap of buy/sell order and the ones with enough trade volume to make decent profit.
I can give you the names of the players and how I got them, just mail me in-game
Once we have gathered stronger proof, we should bring this up to CCP for sure. But as of right now I am 100% certain that trade bots do exist.
