Yes, because why should you actually have to play the game? That's just crazy talk!

So changing market orders every 5 mins is a fun to do and ppl play this game for this?

Currently bots can undercut you every 5 mins or less if it uses more than one order, and this is only 1 botting char if there are 5 botting chars then this time would be less than 1 mins, until one of them outbids you.Then you have to modify your order every 5 mins to be able to sell your stuff --> realy boring task and not fun at all. If this time is increased to 4 hours or more ,your offer would be the lowest for much longer period and would greatly decrease the modifies needed.



You are a moron or you are currently a bot user yourself.

I trade in a whole lot of items, mostly related to invention. Some are more competitive than others - decryptors tend to get bumped every few minutes, unfashionable HACs every few hours - but none are half as bad as you describe. Most of the things that are that competitive(ferrogel, say) tend to fill 20 orders at once when someone actually does sell to a buy order, so it doesn't matter too much if you're on top. If market bots do exist(and yeah, they probably do), they aren't in half the fields I trade in, and they're not easily distinguishable from normal market activity in the other half.

To this day, the fiercest competition I've had was from a guy competing with me to buy salvage - we ID'd each other, opened convo, and both of us watched movies on one monitor and bumped 4 orders on the other, plus occasional a bit of light conversation. Clearly human, and he was harder to buy things through than any Jita order I've ever put up. If Jita is less bad than a single human, I'm going to say that bots really aren't a problem.

Also, consider the effects of what you propose. Make a mistake in your order, either because of lag or because of player error, and your botched order is up for four hours before you can pull it down. Is that really how things ought to work?

especially after the Ricdic scam. RMT needs to STOP.

Macros need to STOP.

Bots that spam in local need to STOP.

market bots need to STOP.

miner bots need to STOP.

market bots need to STOP.

ratting/mission bots need to STOP.

If none of the above are stopped then they should all be allowed. End of discussion.
