General Discussion - This casual player catches trade bots with one simple trick! - Forum

" D3izhistory wrote: Simple way to reduce these item snipers, buy a couple tabulas. and constantly relist them for half market price and party with the botters and then go afk while they wait in your hideout (to be consistent with trade policies etc just accept a full price offer while they wait, no rules against selling to higher bidders then ur asking price). do this nonstop and eventually they will find better things to do with their time im going to try this with reliquary keys actually Okay so i did this, ofcourse not naming names, but listed a key for 20c, got 10 messages inside of 10 seconds of putting it in my tab, then another 10 messages 25-35 seconds later then another 10 or so messages from 1-2 minutes (sold and bought another to repeat the test) What this makes me think is the first grouping was those who somehow get advanced notice before poetrade indexing, second group is the weblink poetrade users and the final group is those who have notification at 30 and 60 seconds I got a fever and the only prescription, is more cowbell!

So if I respond to an item posted on poetrade a couple seconds after it's posted, I'm a bot ? Good trick. Sounds 100% foolproof. No way innocent people are going to get caught by this. lol	Posted by Ratedetar on Mar 31, 2017, 9:35:33 PM Quote this Post

It is not a bot. People simply checking for items and when it appears on poe.trade, they ping you right away. There is now Webcosket (instant) refresh search. Besides you can write your own API which is faster than poe.trade anyway.	Posted by Rexeos on Apr 1, 2017, 1:45:23 AM Quote this Post
