Identify and Report Auction House botters

The Auction House botters are making it near impossible to effectively sell certain items. Please take the time to identify and report them. It is very obvious because they will sit there for hours on end instantly undercut the same items. Also if you see someone who uncut by only a few copper, buy the slightly more expensive one. These cheaters deserve to be boycotted and banned…

Not everybody spends the time or behaves like a stalker to identify and mark such people. Most people (I would assume) just visit the auction house and put stuff in, not bothering with competition.

Also as most people (I would assume) use addons like auctioneer undercutting competing auctions by a single copper is the default setting. I ll always will buy the cheapest option. Most people I assume will do that.

Nah default setting is 10%, I only know this because I haven’t changed mine.

Depends on the addon you use.

Some undercut 1c, some do 10% or 5%

The default setting for Auctionator is absolutely 1c

Why is mine broken :sob:

I don’t think you’d actually know who’s an AH bot and who’s actually just a flipper. If someone is buying out cheap items and re-selling them for twice the price or something that indicitive of nothing other than they’re filipping items to turn a profit. I can also see people sitting there for potentially hours cancelling their posts because that’s just how they play WoW, they cancel auctions that’ve been undercut and reposting it yet again at a 1 copper difference. This is their gameplay for the most part and use the gold they obtain to buy a WoW token to fuel further flipping.

I’m sure the name can be a give away but other than that I’m not sure you can really say that anyone’s an AH bot.

Why is it that everyone of you who are just whining never post on your main, or have a max level character? Get max level…then worry about changing the state of the game. Its wild that people dont post on their main, because they know that person will get flamed lol

i post on my mains.

And you’re not whining about something an addon is doing :slight_smile: claiming cheaters. All these posts of people who want “changes”, always an alt or low level.

No i pointed out the facts about an addon and how it works to counter the OP post.

Then why are u responding to me? I said all of you that are whining, you clearly were not? Did i accidently reply to your comment?

Well someone is “big mad” how about you go relax a little bit instead of being so hostile.

You are literally just a troll i guess lol. I was agreeing WITH you the whole time. Was rather confused why you were even responding to MY comments. Sorry i tried to get clarification LOL. You can go back to trolling now.

why is the character you post with important in this? Would a max level main character provide “more credibility” to said topics?

No? I thought so.

Focus on the content of the post, not the poster. You should do that in Real Life as well you know. Thinking about whats being said instead of focusing on mundane and unimportant things that just distract you

Not a shot this happens. Every AH addon can do this just about the same. Just stop being salty about you not being about not getting to sell things on the AH the way you want…

and…

LOL, this guy goes for the not posting on your main shot… such an F…

Its more that i find it curious that almost EVERY single complaint, every gripe is posted on a non maxxed character. Which leads me to believe they either dont have one, or know that its such a hot take, even their guild would flame them for the nonsense. Its about accountability for your words. Idc really as i know how the game works, how to actually spot botters for the most part. But to mindlessly post drivel over and over again, from a low level alt, yes it loses credibility. And if its not an alt, maybe sit down, get to max level and find out how the game works?

max character doesnt provide accountability. As easy as it is today to max out a toon and gear him up too you wont be able to identify a max/main character. Whats the next step then? Only a certain GS or progression rate entitles people to voice their complaints? Where does that stop?

You will be attacked for voicing your complaint either way. Providing a max/main character only gives the attackers more ammunition and maybe stick a barb that hurts when its easier to dismiss personal attacks cuz the offenders dont know what to attack.

Again…the content of a post dictates the posters experience or insight in certain mechanics, progression and the game at large. Showcasing a maxxed our character while doing so doesnt give the argument/post more weight or credibility at all. These are the internet forums…

The players that need to be banned are the ones that list something for 1c bid and 30k buyouts those are the ones that should be reported and banned
