Bot Sniping Live Search Trade

Posting to increase visibility of an existing problem:

Can confirm I personally experienced this situation:

- People writing bots seem to have direct access to the async trade API.
- Any item listed with a discount gets sniped so fast normal players never have a chance to buy the items.
- Item is already sold by the time notification goes out to normal players.
- Live search is functionally dead to your normal player base.

As suggested in the link bots are likely to be placed near your Texas gateway to minimise latency.
