Confused About Bots Buying items for 1 Exalted – Help Needed!

By mistake, I listed this bow for sale at 1 exalted. I received over 1,000 whispers! Clearly, the price can't be just 1 exalted.
Then, I corrupted the item and tried to sell it again... the same thing happened! If I list it for 1 exalted, bots go crazy whispering me to buy the bow. But if I list it for 20 exalted, no one buys it. LOL! Why is that?

Why do they only buy the item if it's 1 exalted, and why don't they care if it's corrupted or not? Do they have some "bug" to remove corruption?

It's not bots, it's people on the website using the whisper button who are seeing a good deal and trying to buy it from you. You are basically wasting a bunch of people's time by listing it so low. They see it on the site and the all jump at you at once trying to get it.

Take pity on them, they are item-snipers who try to buy cheap and then sell at cost price.

Why are you asking a question here and can't add a bow on the site to the search with the right implicide? Why should others do your request for you!

Why are you so upset? Like I said, it was a mistake! I added it to one exalted tab. But you didn’t help me at all. Instead, you only reinforced my idea that something isn’t right at all. Why would someone buy something for 1 exalted but not for 5 or 10? If people need it because it’s good, they would easily pay 10 exalted. I could be wrong, but something feels very, very wrong.

Your bow is worth 9-10 ex, learn to use a trade site or price checker.

Because it's not worth 20 exalted.

It's just a Death's Harp. It's shit.
People running multi arrow builds don't use Deaths' Harp, they use a Dualstring that rolled +1 arrow explicit.

A Death's Harp is legitimately worth no more than 1 exalt.
At best 2 with peak post corruption rolls.

Remember, the prices you see when searching something on trade are not the value the item is worth.
Those are a price nobody is willing to pay.
When you post something at value, it gets sold, quickly.
The posts that stick around for people to see are above value.

is this a serious question?

read that back to yourself a few times. why would someone buy an item for a lower price but not for a higher price?


are you telling me you have never bought something that you wouldnt have bought if it cost 10x more?

When you receive over 1,000 whispers to buy one item for 1 exalted, but they reject it for 2, something is definitely wrong! And we’re talking about exalted orbs, not 1 Divine ~ 20 Divines! Anyway, this is just early access, and I really hope the developers fix whatever the bug is.

bro they are bots, they dont care if it is one wisdom scroll of profit on a trade.

so if they can get you to trade for 1 ex and sell at 1.00000001 ex they will.


there is no cost to trade other than time, and time means nothing to a bot. . .
