Trade sanctions for Gyp Bots

Recommended Posts

i don't want to name any names but it rhymes with Beaver. Bots shouldn't be allowed

to buy/sell the same thing. i sold this unnamed bot like 800 silver ore at 2 gc and this

bot turns around 1-2 days later and tries to sell it for 2.5. harvesting takes long enough

without these shenanigans. sanctions, making it illegal or having a long waiting period

whatever. this is BS.

 

at the very least a thread called Gyp Bot Watch? Bots are a big enough advantage without

exploiting other players labor.

Way to piss off half of EL

 

I make a fortune from exploiting other people's labour.

 

Other people make a fortune from exploiting my bot's massive EMU.

 

The people I exploit make a fair living wage or they simply wouldn't do it.

 

Btw My bot is called Agneum, is the biggest bot ingame and buys silver ore for 1 gc each.

 

Feel free to protest at my bot.

I agree it sucks.. We need a new rule: Bots should be banned from buying anything they need or can make a profit off, or if they do they should be forced to sell it for less than what they paid for it

 

damn evil bots

Er... most every single product you buy in real life goes through the same thing.

 

Your local grocery store bought everything you see in it at a lower price than they're selling it to you.

 

Go get your picket sign!

Umm, people buy and sell off these bots and agree with the prices so it's not like they're outrageous :D

Err, did you even read my suggestion that you could sell to players instead?

 

As for the rest of your post WTF are you on?!

dude, you can sell something to an NPC and then it resells your item at a massive rate. At least bots minimise that already huge difference of the NPC. Perhaps you should rant on the NPCs before you bash the bots.

Furthermore, some players actually buy stuff cheap from other players and sell high to other players too...

You all are haters! You just don't appreciate the novelty and preciousness of this ingenious suggestion.

I think that explains the posters seeming lack of understanding of how things work.

yeah i've NEVER played MMORPGs before so i don't know how anything works. there was this other player in this other game that i know nothing about that did nothing but buy, mark up and resell. he quit, got cancer and died*. i don't think anyone even felt sorry for him. even after he made big appearances of giving things away.... maybe 2 or 3 little newbs. he took great pride in driving up the price of things.

 

*i made this up but it was something like that.

Ok, you have convinced me that you are right and I am wrong, to make you happy that my bot will never take advantage of you I shall set him not to trade with you.

if this is such a cool service why don't mark-upers ever make this known before hand? this unnamed bot wasn't the only one that did this. in RL grocery store has to pay people so that is expected. bots hardly cost anything and are max convenience to the person that bought it. which makes it weird that someone brought up RL.

I don't think you understand what bots actually cost their owners initially and per year.

Not to mention that these payments are quite substantial, not some tavern tips...

 

Seriously, are you high or on some medication? Your thinking doesn't make any sense. Are you aware of basic economy and VAT (value added tax)? If bots were not earning their owners money and making profit, what good they would be?
