I feel sad that I'm the only one posting about this... or that I'm one of the few that's even noticing or talking about this... We have players (*cough* Keepsy *cough*) that have set up AH sweeping bots that purchase items for less than they vendor for 24/7, aka: around the clock. I understand if it's a couple of days a week.. and that wouldn't be suspicious... but for months now 24 hours a day 7 days a week AH vendor sweeping isn't suspicious at all to the moderators? Don't take my word for it...Test it yourself. Put an item on the auction house for less than it vendors for and watch how quickly it gets bought by a certain individual... It's crap like this that makes this server lose its value. |

Im down to test this! Lets pick something from my MH I dont mind NPCing I'll do something obscure too. Something the common person wouldn't buy:  This seems perfect.  And now we list it:  I went to an exp party so I am gonna keep checking the AH website. |

I suspect if he had something like that running, it isn't literally going to buy anything that can possibly npc for more. He probably has a selection of items that are commonly placed on the ah for less than vendor value. Since we can only look up his sold history and not his buying history, maybe you can point us to the items that hes clearly buying as quick as they hit the ah. Although, you could be letting him know with this thread that he should probably watch out. A better move in general would be to go to nas with any evidence you can muster up to prove he may be doing this. If you just want to let people know about this guy and make this his reputation amongst players who read the forums, then you've come to the right place. But if you actually want to see something done about it, you have not. |

That is my thought with this. If it was set to buy any item, my grape daifuku would of been sold already, and its chilling up there. (btw im sitting on 100 items on the AH so if anyone wants it they can buy it lol. Im not going through 100 items to take it down) |

What’s the Problem with someone putting items on AH FOR less then NPC will buy and someone else buying them? Those sellers did chose to not sell to NPC. Now AH botting needs more evidence. 3-5 items is no botting proof. You need like 10-15+ to maybe consider something is wrong. Maybe that person has enough time, you won’t know unless buy status is like 0.01 days, which we need several examples for to jump on that train

Just look up some of the sales history on items like axe belt, atlaua’s ring, falcastra, and it’s always the same few names, Prat, Keepsy etc. Probably the same guy. Keepsy I’ve never seen leave the bastok markets AH ever, except to sell stuff to the nearby shop. It doesn’t seem legit. I don’t think it’s automated, since sometimes the time is 20 minutes, sometimes a few hours, but there really does seem to be some kind of script involved to go through the hundred or so items that npc for more. That much manual labour isn’t feasible nor believable around the clock. |

Then the only „solution“ is: Collect as much evidence as possible and open a Support Ticket. I am sure Nasomi can find a consistent procedure on his end. |

It has been obvious for a long time that some folks are using a script to alert them of items being posted in bazaars or the AH. *cough* shining cloth *cough* |
