A warning to all players - IMPORTANT

[Ourk]

Currently, there is a botting ring going on around neutral auction houses in Tanaris/Stranglethorn Vale. Any attempt to set green or higher quality item on auction with low prices (usually done when transfering items from one faction to another, alt gear, crafting mats and similar) will result in an INSTANT(less then a second) buyout by these bots, aka your items will be PERMANENTLY lost.

Some of those bots: Legitbuyer (lvl 5 Tanaris), Yadungoofed (lvl 2 Stv, a member of Dank Budz Collective guild)

At this moment, be very careful, or better yet, totally AVOID any attempt to transfer green or higher quality items from one faction to another trough neutral AH, as there is a high chance you will loose all items in question.

Ticket was submitted, hopefully this gets resolved.


You were warned.

Hi all,

Be careful, it starts to happen again with same characteristic: absolutely freekin INSTANT buy out! I tested a few times, even with some crappy items, it s instantanely buyed when the price in under a fixed amount.

I quote entirely the Grim's text, only changing the actual bot name : Mivr, <Silverfur Tribe>, rogue 29.

This player is just loggued on, located in STV in the /who list, but not physicaly present near the auctionner NPC, not even targetable (with my same faction char).

Ticket submitted too.

This thread is pretty funny. The neutral auction house isn't your personal cross faction mailbox, if you were intended to send items cross faction then the mailboxes would already do that. Next: This guy claims I'm not present near the auctioneer, and that I'm not targetable.... I'm a rogue, he even mentions that... Also, I'm not botting nor am I breaking any server rules, so you can ticket all you like, but you're just wasting GM's time.

Edit: Also, I'm not affiliated with any of these other guys in the thread, so I can't comment on their actions.

What amount? Sounds like a great way to make money.

Does sound like a bot. Although might be best to fraps then submit a ticket. I know you want to warn players but if the GMs don't have evidence, they can't take action and these players are most likely warned now not to do it.

I'm still here, and I'm not botting so fraps away. Only thing that will stop me is official rules put in place by the GMs (which tbh would be silly), or people ganking me (which happened for around 5 hours this morning).
