Nicely done! Yeah the man/woman/thing is just mad other people are making lots of gold and he/she/it doesn’t have the discipline to do it him/her/itself.
See what I did there with gender-appropriate pronouns? So now he/she/it can’t come back with “did you just assume my gender?”
This would be a very, very simple error situation to program. Far easier than automating the AH. Check buffs between every set of transactions, if not mounted then mount. Why wouldn’t a serious botter do that?
This is entirely untrue. Most people just want to sell what they have for whatever the market price is and they can’t do it if some guy who does nothing but “building empires” by spending their every waking moment undercutting everyone else.
Don’t worry about it, it’s usually a biased thing people love to say to try to make what you’re doing bad. It’s much akin to these silly “If you only played a video game for 2 days, you haven’t reeeeeeeeeeally played it” comments, all because you simply dislike their game they really like, but i digress on that one.
You just undercut your own argument. You’re talking as if AH botting is simple an easy and if you believe that to be the case then you must admit it’s also a real problem.
I guess you’re relatively daft then, because there are rules in our free market about automation and even a ToS which is kind of like the US Constitution but for WoW.
But how are they ripped off? What gives you the right to determine whether prices are too high? If they are high, don’t get lower and people buy the stuff on masses then it’s fine. It’s too expensive, players don’t buy it and prices go down.
That’s how the economy in WoW works.
And if the price is too high because someone reset the market then it will take a few hours before it’s back to normal - and in that time everyone has the chance to go look for deals with other players outside of the AH. That’s still a thing.
It sounds like the OP attempted to corner the market on an item, underestimated the availability of said item, and is now upset about being stuck with a crap load of the item or taking a loss. But it’s not his fault, it’s those flinging flanging undercutters.
It’s common for gold farmers to buy out all of a specific item and repost it at a much higher price. That’s market manipulation and it costs buyers a great deal.
That’s my guess too. Players who complain about the unfairness of AH-pvp are almost everytime those players who just use one market with the hope of getting maximum cash and then are frustrated when the market is overpopulated and they get undercut frequently.
THIS is entirely untrue: you are saying that people should be limited how much and how they play the game? Are you from China or something? Are you Xi Jinping?
They are both jealous AND annoyed. This is a classic “git gud or get rekt” situation, bucko.
I know. But as I explained - prices go back to normal fairly quick, because the market stabilizes and balances itself out, always. And in that short time one can decide whether he has the cash and doesn’t care or should be looking for other players to sell him something outside of the AH.
If programming AH botting, then in comparison programming a mount function is not complicated. Why have the more complex code but not the easy error catch?
You know, if you don’t like TSM and AH campers and want them banned, you can just say so as an opinion. Making up claims you in no way can prove about botters doesn’t help.
