Are bots running wild on instant trade?
|
Literally every time I get an instant search pop, there are the same characters that leave the instance by the time I load in and my PC is fast. They dont need to load majority of textures and such, so their loadings are literally instant. Same applies to clicking travel to hideout. No mouse movement, I guess. Its fcking annoying.

First it's the humans that set landmine trades, then it's the bots that snipe the underpriced stuff that you wanted to snipe?!
Let's go back to Forum trade. I think it is better for the overall experience and that magic moment u know. Buff SSf GGG, remove migration. It's the only mode that makes sense. Trade will always attract the u know what... Or go back to Forum trade, really, it wasn't all that bad. I liked it. here i found an old message. good old days ;P Avatar Re: WTB Wrath Bane Citadel Bow From: BloodyFighter#6406 on Feb 22, 2014, 12:10:53 AM To: Strickl3r#3809 I will be on in about 4 hours.

A very not insignificant # of those bots are for rmt purposes. Remove player to player trade and 1000% anonymous async with the names and at least 1 stat munged from what is posted to what the buyer sees, and most of those bots would be out of business. Win Win.

" Bots see the item earlier than you could with live search. That´s why you will never win no matter how fast your PC and connection are. When the item pops up on live search a bot is already buying it. |

Are we saying that botting and async trade has completely ruined PoE and we should go back to sync trade?
|
|
" Nope. We dont want to go back. There is always the TFT mafia and similar human trash that ruins it for everybody, so going back is not a win at all. Would be nice if we could deal with the bots or fix the way they work, so its not possible. |

At least they fixed the price fixing thing, which was a lot more annoying then bots sniping underpriced items.
