Remove The "Item In Demand" Warning, It Only Promotes Abuse

The added click is absolutely just an advantage for the bots.
Showing me that it's likely a waste of time is good though.

GGG needs to take the tarkov route and use captchas for high volume accounts.
It's insane to me that the ones turbo trading don't raise some flags internally.
:D

As the title says, the forced delay on the "Are you sure?" button before being able to load into a shop only promotes botting and auto-clicker abuse. This gives bots an extreme advantage on good deals, enables and improves their ability to snipe or scalp, and is just frustrating for more fair players. Not only do you have to click twice where they only need to click once, but it's also delayed to the point that you're practically guaranteed to miss out against a bot. Auto-clicking allows them to immediately begin loading in while human reaction speed punishes you with a delayed 2nd click and a longer load screen from the bots loading in before you. It makes no sense to have this, at the very least, make it a setting where we can toggle it off.


I never had this prompts "are you sure?"

it seems you are upset, becuse someone is more successful in sniping than you.

Hard to believe you actually never seen the prompt unless you bot yourself or are just rage baiting. Let me try to explain just in case you're someone who needs a little extra help to understand. The prompt pops up when you use the trade website or in-game trade window. When you click the "Travel to hideout" button, if other players clicked the button first, a prompt appears to warn you that the item is in demand, then there's a delay before it allows you to click "Travel" again. The easiest way to successfully snipe consistently is by using a program to be among the first players to click Travel to Hideout. Now, of course people using a program for a competitive advantage is against ToS in most games, and losing to a cheater will often frustrate people. So yes, myself and many others were upset because others were more successful sniping by using illegal programs for an unfair advantage. To fix that issue, I suggested removing that delay. If you're fast enough that you don't see the prompt, then it won't effect you, and if you use a program, which I suspect you do if you snipe often and haven't seen the prompt as you claimed, then it levels the playing field slightly for the more fair players. Sorry for the long-winded explanation, I tried to explain in detail to ensure you're more likely to understand, but if need be I can break it down even simpler for you, just let me know if you're unable to understand what the prompt is and how it's an issue.


Your explanation is pointless - I perfectly know the conditions of such message

BUT

It happens when you are trying to SNIPE a high demand item for cheap price - so does MANY others.

Stop being cheap sniper then.

I was having fun competing with other players buying in demand items like cheap nightmare maps, currency bp etc.
but when it comes to endgame items it really is impossible to compete against bot even if you stare your monitor ready to click travel, there's just no winning against them, plus "in demand" warning will frustrate you not fun at all, it's so demotivating to play.
At this point I assume this feature was implemented intentionally to simultaneously give bots an advantage and themselves an excuse of "look, we tried to help".

Bots help GGG make money with inflated player numbers and newly purchased accounts. Not sure they'll ever address it, even when playing is free.
