OP:
I just experienced several times what you mean.
I have live search on, the item appears and i happen to be on the page, i literally SMASH that button super quick and yep... item is already gone before i even have the option to teleport.

Dunno how thats even possible so quick!

Have tried overlays... not any quicker.

Dunno how they do it but insta sniping is defo a thing

Global internet latency exists. By the time your live page updates, dozen of other people may have had it updated 10+ seconds ago.

I'm in the same boat. I've been monitoring an item and even though I click them the very second it shows up the item will be gone. I've missed out on 100+ items this way, and I have a brand new expensive computer with a 500 M/Bit connection.

This new trading sure beats the old one by miles, but trying to get the good deals is literally impossible when it seems people are using bots or scripts to buy out all the good deals. When one second is not enough time in over 100+ cases, and many times it's either already "in demand" or gone the moment it shows up, that says something.

It is the same if you use the in-game market system. You constantly refresh it, an item shows up, and it says the item has already been bought even if it literally came up that very second.

Bots dont use poe client,its more like a console.they have less loading time and so on. but i hope ggg are able to filter them in future,bec they do the exact same things in close to the same timing.

Glad more people are seeing this. I thought I was crazy

We need to stop flipping

Srly, either put a CD to reselling (72h for tier 1 gear), let it be bind on account...

We must stop ppl to play the game by hideout and be in the maps getting drops.

It's insane how the game is getting worse and worse with bots.

We need to ban players that RMT.
And it's very easy to spot bots... They are always scanning the market... and have tons of currency

Hi,

With the new offline trade feature the trading bots issue has gotten way worse.
I've been monitoring the trade website and items appear on the trade site and in less than 1 second they are already gone. Idk how its even possible to teleport in-game so fast because for me it normally takes 5 seconds (loading teleporting screen).

Is it possible that people scan the trade website and they see what was listed for sale before players can see the item by using the "live search" feature?

There must be some sort of a delay. GGG I hope you'll do something about this.
it's plain cheating!


#GGG

its not perse that there are many trading bots its just that there are many degenerates who just spam the refresh button on a 4k+ usd computer and they simply load it faster than most regular people

they snipe it and sell it for a higher price and make like 20-40div a hour doing this shit one of my guild mates is doing this and i dont know how he can enjoy the game like that

well, if you refresh too many times in one moment you get search limited for 60 seconds, so not sure how accurate your statement could be.

Explain to me how bots go to my hideout through console and take item out of my stash without using a client. I bet you are some kind of a hacker so you have to know
