Are those trade scripts legal?

Winning? It's an ARPG there is no winning. Why grind? Because the point of any ARPG is either A) To get loot, or B) To make builds. If you are playing an ARPG for any other reason, then you'd be better suited to another game type. Trade and/or trade scripts don't change the game, nor do they prevent you or even delay you from playing the game. It's just that simple.

They have an impact though, yes you can just play the game but many items can be hard to obtain forcing you into trade. Scripts, fake item sales, really add to the fun... not really

I'm not saying you don't need to trade. I'm saying that these scripts don't actually impact your trading negatively. Either you sell something quickly and cheaply because of them, or you buy something without using a script. Either way, your trading is FINE, so you really don't have any complaint.

You're complaining because the existence of scripts is wrong. I agree....But so what? Unless GGG makes their own trade and makes you use it, this will never end. Accept it as unchangeable and move on, safe with the knowledge that it won't harm you, and you won't have to use them.

What trade scripts? POE.TRADE has an auto notification with sound and pop ups immediately when an item matching your search criteria is posted. You play the game while waiting for notification and then whisper when you get a pop up. It's shit simple.

Wait... it does what now? Please explain.

And people still want a completely automated "AH" where you'll be able to buy(out) things directly, even from an offline player. -_-

Any automated sh*t could and would be "automated beyond that" i.e. "scripted"\"botted" etc. No wonder.

After you do a search on poe.trade, there's a link just above where the listings are, below the search for that reads:

"

Click here to perform this search in Live mode and be instantly notified when new items matching your criteria are posted.

If you do click it, then there's some settings for refresh rate and notification options.

Don't use facts and truth with people like this they can't comprehend and will substitute their reality for yours.

OP where in the world do you live?
Just curious because I had no idea people living under rocks had internet.
Explain what you mean by legal, as is, you are using the wrong word in your question.
Google by the way, google.

It reminds me of D3. AH was innocent enough at start. Avg guy could make some decent flips and get some decent deals. Then the bots took over. Good luck after that. Only way was a open bid item everything else price cheap was bought second it posted.

Here its actually worse. Bot guys can drive prices low by listing things at 1/20the value they have no intention of selling. Then when ppl price check they follow them and same guy snaps it up. In AH this does not work because bot guy list something 1/20th value it gets instantly bought and he loses and no one sees it.

BTW OP its never as profitable to "farm"

Who makes more? The worker slaving 12 hrs a day or the shop owner who making secondary income off each worker? Who makes more the shop owner or the hedge fund manager who makes Tertiary interest income off thousands of shop owners? Welcome to capitalism 101.

A true AH solves bot issues. You mean a buy out house. entire different things.

Whether an absolute auction or minimum bid auction bots have to bid against real people and market price is found and you dont make a bot to buy at market prices so they dont play.

Reading FTW! Cheers mate, appreciate it. Not sure how I missed it but I was completely oblivious :)
