Dead horse...

Bots/RMT isn't new. Play SSF if the P2W aspect irritates you.


The most hilarious is when you drop a mirror or the doctor card in SSF.

Guess who smells the dead horse now.


Well, you don't exactly have much of a choice now, do you?
Bots will always be here... for as long as people RMT

- Suck it up
- Play SSF
- Don't play

Your choice.


First choice, for the one who will drop a doctor in SSF.
Then here you have to admit there's a serious difference in-between "the bots will always be here" and "the bots are dominant"

Well, let's be realistic here. Of course, bots will 'feel' dominant as there are probably only 100k~ players total... the rest is, well... you know. As well as being 95% of trade interaction, likely being the only outside interaction most people get.

Again, they are ONLY here because people continue to give them money.
And they will continue being here for as long as that continues.

FYI: I play to kill stuff, I couldn't care less about a doctor drop lol.

So the other day i had 30 exalts i decided to sell, sold them very carefully and at this moment i realized... that 2/3 of like 100 wispers... Were bots, like i'm explaining in first post. I think i sold half of my exalts to bots, then switched to normal players only.
You've explained what you did, you haven't explained how it's a problem

If you need it explaining further, then there really isn't much point now, is there?

"bots are bad" is not an explanation
best method of getting rid of bots is making gameplay complex - bots wont manage well.

sadly, we have necromancers in this game - builds you can play with one finger. start with fixing this issue and bot numbers will dwindle

there is a reason why most bots are necromancers/guardians. guess what that reason is.


oh, and 'normal players' wont notice them either way. bots make cheap-yet-good gear cheaper while making top-end stuff more expensive. normal players dont care about the top-end yet they happily buy the cheap stuff because that is all they need.

not to mention that POEs trade system is so bad people find bots the only way to make it manageable
Trade bots are a bit of a gray area IMHO...
I know several people who uses bot on a secondary account to auto-trade stuff, so they can play in peace.

I started playing SSF because EVERYTIME I was in the mines or in the labyrinth a guy pop up asking to buy something, and they are ALWAYS in a hurry XD

Trading can be fun, but not if you have to drop all you are doing to do so. Then the more stuff you have for sale, the more time you have to spend at the hideout trading and less playing... If I wanted to be a stock broker I would do so instead of playing poe :D

This is both: theses characters are farming chaos, probably chaos recipe or something, then buy exalts because they are short of space with 4 tabs.
This gone insane.

I asked myself if Heist wasn't an attempt from ggg to slows down bots, then i realized they could have stopped the chaos since a long time.
