It is the bots, go to the maw and look at all the druids with people riding druids mining and harvesting.

Its not ridiculous, people do it all the time.

Bots ruin the ability to keep prices at that level.

If you’re trying to corner a market with falling demand and increasing supply, the problems not that people are panicking and dumping on you.

I don’t like :dolphin: in my hobby and I don’t enjoy them in WoW either but the bots are a major issue atm :frowning: makes me feel like I’m playing a F2P game

So the real issue with bots is that they make it harder for you to flip the AH… I really hope you are trolling.

Dam 235 leggos go for about 35k on my server LOL y’all are gouging tf out of people

Correct. Their supply puts downward pressure on the market. Econ 101.

Interesting tactic you got going on there, trying to gain support while admitting to this.

I sure hope it works out for ya.

31

It’s the only legitimate and tangible negative impact to bots.

Even if you wanted to farm the mats yourself, the bots will HELP you kill the creatures.

PLEASE stop asking for impossible things. There have been thousands of posts asking for this. Blizzard knows. But it is impossible. Blizzard has no magical powers. In English it’s easy to SAY things that are impossible to DO.

Oh, I get it. You want Blizzard to change the game so your AH strategy always succeeds.

Sorry, Charlie. Your AH strategy doesn’t always work. That has nothing to do with bots. That is because you are competing with other AH players, who are not trying to help you make gold.

So how do you know the guys undercutting you are bots?

34

Fliping for profit is despicable. Making people pay higher prices to make money is worse then botting. At least the botters supply mats at a decent price. You are the problem with the economy.

This is why I’ve always liked bots.

I really don’t get the argument against them other than people just being petty.

36

It has EVERYTHING to do with bots.

I can handle the volume of regular players - it’s the volume that bots bring to the AH that makes things get out of hand.

37

Maybe it’s not bots, maybe it is some other person doing the same as you.

38

They wouldn’t be posting for so low if they were doing the same as me.

Bots want to get rid of their supply fast - they make their money on the fluidity of the market.

All ready made over a million gold this expansion.

Bots didn’t prevent me from doing that. I also don’t multibox. There is always a ton of gold to be made early on if you’re smart.

Everyone complaining about bots in retail has no idea how great the economy is compared to something like classic servers. You can make thousands a gold a week if you sell those little blue stat buff consumeables. A run quick dungeon run on your tank or healer is easily worth 3-4k.

Stop trying to control the market. Also ban all bots
