Can someone tell me if it is possible to bot the changing of your market orders every so often.
I am not intenting to do this at all, I have been constantly under cut on the market by .01 isk with several orders I have, and when I change they seem to change within 30 mins. I have been following these orders as they are not common and been modifying the time I make the changes, as late as 8 hours out side my normal playing time and it still undercuts me every 30 mins...
Just wondering if this is reportable worthy?
Again, NOT interested in how to or what to use, only that it is a known issue or even possible. More interested in keeping the market fair and competitive. |

In short, yes, there are market bots, and some have a bit of intelligence (cut off prices, ect).
There's really nothing that CCP can do, I'd imagine it's almost impossible to confirm the presence of a market bot. That said, CCP should spend some time monitoring some accounts for 24 hours and throwing out some bans. A few high profile bans of huge trader characters with 10+B isk will do a lot to deter current and future botters...

Thanks for the information. And I certainly hope that Ji doesnt waste CCPs time, reporting a simple question asked in order to understand an improve the game by reporting exploiters.

I look forward to CCP investigating me, coz at least then they will be investigating someone, maybe I can give them the information I have gathered and they can catch the guy I have found.

On a similar note, I would recommend as a way to counter any market bots to do what I do. I refuse to buy anything at a price that has been undercut by a stupid amount (.01) in an attempt to make a sale.
EG if its on the market for 5,000.00 and someone undercuts by 4999.99 I will by the 5k item.
Just my .01isk.

you always buy from the cheapest order even though you select a more expensive order..¿ so you are just paying the people that 0.01's more for their goods!
just my 0.01 isk This is a signature not related to EVE |

Actually, what you're doing is buying the item from the seller who's priced at 4999.99, but you're choosing to give him or her an extra 0.01 ISK. I encourage you to read up on how the Market works.

Miniprincesa is a prime example of a market bot in the implant market in Jita and CCP does nothing about it.
