Everybody is silent about the biggest problem POE has

Trade bots, and automated programs which make 50-100 divines a day without lifting a finger..


Yeah GGG, could you tell us why those are allowed ?????????

Let me guess , they are part of the ,,VISION,, ?

Must be it..

That's not a problem, but a feature - bots are what maintains the liquidity in the market.

Everybody is silent about bots? Really? Like, when has that happened in the last 10 years that the community has stayed silent on anything?

Trading should be an afterthought, not a core feature. That's where the issue is.

Games should be about playing, not swapping items with random people.

The community is silent about bots? When has that ever happened?

I'm really curious if you have any proof that trading bots even exist, especially that GGG allows them!?
Pls, post this proof here or just stop trolling...

Trade bots do appear frequently at league start and they are followed punctually by a wave of bannings. There are systems in place to check account activities. Once I was kicked out of the game (not banned, just logged out) for using a macro to go quickly to my hideout. I don't use those anymore. Basically the servers recorded that I was just going from one location to another too fast and too often. Imagine whay happens when your character does a series of repeated actions and never leaves the hideout. Bots do exist, it's the nature of all ARPG and MMORPG, but GGG has been very efficient in kicking them out of the game during the years.

I didn't know that the definition of silent was hundreds of posts about it over the years. TIL.

Yes, a lie told a hundred times eventually becomes the truth.

For the sake of truth I have to confirm that bots have existed and exist in this game but luckily they are not a real problem. Every time an unascended witch sells you currency 9 out of 10 it's a bot. There used to be Einhar farming bots in the past selling yellow beasts by the pound, or Delve farming bots selling resonators (you cam buy them from Niko with azurite). Every league there are some bots but GGG kicks them out as quickly as possible. Anyway it is really a handful. They create some small ripples in the economy and then disappear under the ban hammer.
