There is a bot (or two) in DOMAIN region automatically updating his buy and sell orders on specific items. The name of the bot managing BUY orders is ****** ******* based from Misaba system, orders at 40jumps range:
The Sell Orders Bot: (don’t know the name yet)
A. I bait him into undercutting down to unprofitable levels and the bot instantly undercuts. See screenshots.
B. He auto-updates his sell orders within 1 minute after any other player undercuts his price, consistently over many hours
C. Generates a randomized lower price for sell orders each time he undercuts. I don’t know his name yet. See screenshots below.
The Buy Orders bot, ****** *******:
A. He automatically runs a sweep check of all his buy orders and updates them by 0.01 within 2-12 minutes after he is outbidden by anyone, all orders simultaneously, this Bot’s name is ****** ******* based in Misaba V, orders at 40jumps range, he activates auto-check and auto-update software when he logs in, at 0.01 increments.
Below is just ONE sample, many other items are being botted and I’ve been dealing with this bot for the past weeks but decided to investigate more.
Screenshot 1: Notice how he instantly undercuts my order (in less than a minute) and generates a randomized lower price, even after i undercut by more than 60mill trying to lure him to unprofitable levels but he still undercut
Screenshot 2: Notice how another player tried to undercut the bot’s sales order but the bot immediately (less than a minute) undercut and generated another randomized lower price.
Today competition is too strong and as small potato you do not have amy chance. Today market are in hands of few big players and they are taking all profit for himself.
Well that market is dominated by few people may be true, but with some effort and intelligence you can still make profit. Look at KILLBOARD to see what are the most stuff being destroyed, look at game need to see updates to equip and fittings, so y can have some market tendencies…
Yup market tendences ia that T2 huls market iz rigged and dominated by one player. You can sel 2 or 3 huls but if you try to sell serious quantity you will find yourself in strange market fight whwre you can loose lots of money.
Hello? i was saying there is no demand i am not saying there is fierce competition on the supply side. Big difference. No matter how strong and powerful a trader is there is little he can do if there is no demand, other than to diversify his offerings.
I’ve heard that people make more profit selling equipment for ships, rather than ships themselves. You may want to look into the ammunition market, that’s something people are going to need a constant supply- and they will pay a premium if they don’t have to fly all the way to Jita just to get it.
A bot that fits the same exact description as the other reported ones is managing a SELL ORDER of a Raven navy issue in Jita right now. 1. Instantly auto-undercutting his order after I update it and generate a randomized lower price within less than a minute, consistently for the past hour. Same exact behavior I faced with the Megathron navy Issue in Jita and Amarr. This is getting really ridiculous and sickening. What software is that so i can use it too?
I’m not a trader but did hear a tip: set multiple sell/buy orders for the same items so you can always keep up with the penny wars. I’m not sure how big botting really is or not. It’s far more likely you’re competing with a real person that has a work from home job (or unemployed ) that just really has nothing better to do. I’ve had best luck with the patience game. Set your orders and check a month later.
