trade bot allowed?
" The armor also adds pretty high damage and has no downsides outside maybe the low life. Even the sockets are there ready for you to spam your fusings. |

" So after all these people whispered you you then visited their hideouts to check them out did you? OK And yeah I freely admit to using the livesearch on the official trade site, better report me to GGG lol "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way"

the loreweave recipe consists of selling a inventory of unique rings. people have setup 1 chaos max live search for unique rings and buy them off manually.
botters are idiots and people appreciating botting cause they're begging for a easier game are not far from that. it's about time ggg bans trade scripts and autohotkey/autoit too if they give the impression, mercury trade users are just bots. it would be sad but the reputation loss is a bigger issue than the convenience, some useful scripts give their users. say a big fank you to the bot appreciaters. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

If ggg will ever ban bots then the game will die in three days max.

" and how would you know that? people replying with copy/paste messages like "Hi, are you still interested in my X listed for Y in Z league?" are not all bots, just players using mercurytrade, right? |

"Yes, they are appreciated by the community because they make trading tolerable. Yes they're bots, and as such are against the rules. GGG has never officially supported them, and neither should we. Happening to benefit from them... that's a different matter. GGG need to make up their minds, and fast. Because we're rapidly reaching a point where the community is actually starting to think that breaking the rules is somehow allowed as long as it benefits the game or community. If GGG want to retain the benefits of these bots and agree with the majority of us that they're a positive thing which needs to exist, the way to do that is to provide that functionality officially within the game. They could make some money from it too. GGG could add a Shopkeeper npc to your hideout. Any player could then manually choose to visit your hideout at random and the Shopkeeper would be there to perform easy and fast sales of any items marked with a buyout price that the owner has in their trade stash tab. Trading still wouldn't be "too easy", because randomly visiting strangers hideouts doesn't guarantee the owner will have the item you're looking for (or any items at all, if he lacks the stash tab), and you'd only see one person's "stock" at a time so you'd have to shop around to find exactly what you need, or to get the best prices. For an extra MTX cost, Shopkeepers could be set-up to "auto-respond" in the same way bots currently do. When set up, the Shopkeeper would cause a prompt to appear to the prospective buyer: "Warp to hideout? Yes/No", enabling you to quickly visit the correct hideout and do your trading. With these features in place, GGG would be able to change their policy (if it isn't already) to zero-tolerance. Bots of all varieties and purpose would be rendered illegal and banned. There would be no ambiguity over whether certain types of bot are allowed, and no "GGG turns a blind eye to positive bots that help the game" - the kind of attitude which (even if true) will eventually cause people to test and push the bounds of what they can safely "get away with" to the point where GGG have to enact a zero-tolerance policy anyway which would hurt us if the trade-bot functionality hasn't somehow been incorporated into the game by then. |

They're against the rules, but they're also a solution to a system that is intentionally bad.
I'd never thought I'd say it but here's to the botters. |

Bots are the only things that makes something like trading currency bareable.
If you whispered 20 people and only 1 answered, there is a high chance those 19 who didnt reply were humans, the 1 who replied is a bot. |
