Auction Undercutter Suspended

Another Bot Down!

Auctioneer bot suspended for 7 days for using a script to auto-undercut on 3-5 minute timer.

Automating gameplay, even auctioning, will result in suspension the first round and ban the next. Due to this being less damaging to the server, the bot alone was suspended and the associated accounts marked. Next offense = ALL associated accounts banned along with auctioneer. I am fine with how the auctioning system works, but scripted undercutting is considered botting.

If you aren't playing the game yourself, why bother?

Fair point, but isn't the auction system specifically designed to be done while afk?

Yes, it was intended to allow players to sell things without spending hours in EC shouting your wares. It is NOT intended to allow players to automatically, consistently undercut any player that approaches. I could've toyed with the system, bought up all the loot, and then zero'ed out the bot's plat value. I elected not to as it's not a large server impact.

I'm not familiar with how the whole bot things work but couldn't someone sense they were running a bot and list an item for dirt cheap as bazaar isn't that active then snag it up once they get undercut. If so lemme know next time so I can have a come up or 2. Grin

yeah seriously, i would rather have the name of the auto-undercutter than him suspended, very easy to take advantage of that

Yeah, I think that'd be a great punishment....unless his bot program had a bottom limit.

Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." R.A. Heinlein
