this can’t go on if this game is supposed to continue
AH bots completely break economy part of this game
choose your method of solution, just do it

bans will not cut it
this requires deep solution, changing how AH works so bots make no sense
AH bots “work” because trade happens in a specific way
AH trade system can be designed in such a way that bots have no purpose
With your vagueness in answer to a reasonable question, I’m starting to think you’re a bot.

I am not working for Blizzard to do their work for them
and I am not vague at all, if anything you are slow
you call me a bot and talk about insults and incredible things
Blizzard developers are paid for fixing things, not players
No Saneko did not call you a bot. I did. Why? Because you were asked a question in relation to something you hinted at and came back with an answer that sounded very GPTish, ie vague and general.
Specficlally you keep talking about trade happening in a certain way, but can’t specify what you mean. Are you talking about the mechanics of how the AH works, the fundamentals of the economy or what? I don’t want an answer, I’m not engaged enough with the point to care, but you half hinted at something then rowed back with bluster and insults when asked what you meant.

you called me a bot and now talk a lot to cover your tracks
one fast idea for slow people - give AH user an option for automatic undercut of your auction to some final minimum value if someone posts lower, and items at same value are sold from random seller, but blizzard have well payed developers they can do better
Maybe implementing a MFA check when opening the AH could do the trick.

there are many solutions that would defeat the purpose of bots
dude is just cherry-picking scenarios without proper analysis
undercutting and randomness is good because they will sell dirt cheap because there would be real trade war with these bots, now they make bank for using bots and someone pays them a lot for botting, honest AH users have no ways of fighting back now
no I can’t achieve this with addons
because I am not 24/7 online like these bots
you are cherry picking and you are not even aware incredible
trade war with bots would defeat them
because they would be forced to sell items dirt cheap
because honest users will prefer to sell cheap than do not sell at all
bot users will have no business, buyers will have cheap items, win - win
it matters - because bot would sell way cheaper when honest users have automatic undercut option built in AH, to the point where bots would not be profitable
your scenario do not address solution I am proposing, you refuse to comprehend it, like on purpose or something
and your remarks were weird, not mine
in my solution my auction do not magically disappear because bot posted cheaper, so your scenario decribes some other scenario
“I’m starting to think you’re a bot.”
Hmm, I have to say my mind has been changed. A revelation has removed the scales from my eyes. I stand before you a changed man (ahem dwarf) ready to believe the scourge of bots has finally been resolved.
With your well thought out and articulate posts I truly believe Blizzard finally has a blueprint to put this behind us.
I can only hope you will now turn your obvious intellect and laser like focus to the problems facing the real world too! They could use a person of your insight to tackle world peace, hunger and where all those missing socks actually go.

yes but Blizzard should pay me for my simple solution
like always forces of free market are best solution for any perversions and lack of speed in some people
just allow free market to function and all is fixed
Not a captcha, an actual MFA prompt from the Blizzard authenticator 
/shrug…
Limit the amount of things that can be cancelled at the same time before it encurs a short waiting period to throw something onto the AH again (kinda like how dungeon limit works per hour)?

i agree
Bots.
multiboxing (with or without any kind of program)
boosting for gold/.
Ah trolls and bots.
these should go , its embarrassing for a big company like this.
People who do these activities. They are not even afraid of Blizzard’s rules and regulations anymore.
Someone had talked to them in the game and published pictures of their chats in a thread where they fearlessly announced that they were selling gold.
i dont remember his name
