Just saw a bot sniping...

even if you banned trading, people would still rmt by having people farm on their acounts for them. You cant win.

that is a separate rmt issue. The more important rmt problem is item and currency rmt.

The item flipping is an interesting debate, but making items BoP when bought from async trade is a simple answer, it will stop flipping, but wont overly stop snipers.

But, simple, if an item is traded, swapped, AH'd then make it BoP so it cant be traded again..

It's better to play auction house than play the game

We must ban bots, RMT and those who buy from them, srly.

Not sure how you can say its a bot that bought it, i bought 2 items yesterday when iwas looking for the Boots of Ullr that had been priced at 3ex and not 3 div, im definitly not a bot, but i bought them and flipped them....

There is bargains to be had, but i dont know about sitting and watching but im not sure how you can tell if its a bot.

But, see my previous post about how to stop that, just make all purchased items (even vendor purchased) BoP - or Account BoP

its called live search..that the biggest issue in game...all those"bots" just afk wait some 1 from life search. they just need disable this option. u cant buy anything coz its become to be paytowin (better pc/connecton) faster teleport for buy item. so its unreal for me.

This would kill crafting and for that reason alone I hope they never consider it. It would also dramatically reduce the number of OK/Mid-game items on the market that casual players depend on (many of those good but not mirror items on the market for reasonable prices are RNG failed crafting attempts).

Plenty of other areas to make improvements to combat bots before going nuclear and decimating a major part of the game.

The day they make binding on purchase, they wil completely annihilate this game. The reaction of anger would be overwhelming and A LOT of players would quit and never look back.

If I was a GGG dev, and this was implemented, I would immediately leave the company and make a video in which I explain I have no connection to that change. And then I would spend the next year clearing my name from that specific decision.

They can still tweak the trade UI to limit abuse and if they can catch bots ban them. But binding items to your character or account, is absolutely fucking disgusting and foolish.

I think the best option to fix the bot sniping problem would be to severely limit the selling of items players haven't picked up themselves.

Yep exactly this, just make all gear Soulbound after you buy it from trade. Flipping shouldn't be allowed, its giga cringe and unfair to other players.
