bug problem

(Cross-posted to the JMTC forums.)


A couple weeks ago I made some tentative forays into the Enchanting scrolls market only to discover a bot was reposting constantly. I reported him every time my ticket came back with a form letter, but he is still there. Even worse, he has moved into glyphs, cards, leg patches and belt buckles, slowly spreading from one market to the next. I know he is constantly reposting because I can post over and over and am always undercut by him, even immediately after I post. Taking advantage of my currently open schedule I have spied at all hours of the day, and he is always on - midnight, 3 AM, 5 AM, 11 AM, 3 PM, 10 PM.... Always. He is never offline.

All the times I have whispered him he has never replied, but I got to chatting with a couple competitors today and they had some information. Apparently they have spoken with the botter. He claims to have 4 accounts, 60 of each glyph and 30k IotS. He says he does not bot and that his roommate posts while he sleeps.

To me, this reeks of bullshit. Who in their right mind would sit at a computer for 16 hours hitting post every two minutes, and then when they were tired would have a roommate from heaven to take over the shift for 8 hours while you sleep? WTF? My roommates barely clean up their crap, they would never agree to anything like that - not even my most deadbeat of acquaintances would. So I think he is running a bot and is nearby while it goes.


I've reported him numerous times. I've reported all his characters. I've had guildmates report him, my competitors report him, random people in Trade report him. Blizz is refusing to do anything as he tears the market down using an impossible schedule with superhuman posting.

I know who is main is. What can I do with this information?

What can I do at all? I've talked to one of my more serious competitors and we are thinking about doing a 2-3g wall. To make his hideous labor a mere 1g profit, if he can get past our reposting. Personally I am thinking of walling even lower - I will lose money but the satisfaction would be worth it. Buying and relisting is futile because he will repost even before you finish getting the glyph from your mailbox.

I'm at a real loss. =( I don't like robots.



Addendum: Glyph wall going up. Didn't want to do it, but if Blizz won't do anything, I will.

"wall" post in the works

Hey! Just wanted to let the anonymous who commented know that I'm working on a reply to your question about glyph walls. :) Things have been awfully hectic in the real this week*.

In WoW-related news, I got a spectral tiger! It's only the 60% one, but it's still awesome. I paid 8 Mechano-hogs for it, which is about 100k gold.




*By hectic I mean there is too much partying going on. :P

edit: I should note that I post gems about 3 times a day. Once in the morning, once before raid, and once before bed. Hardly every 10 minutes.

I'm on wow.com!

I literally gasped/squeaked out loud when I scrolled down to see this today! That's my screenshot of me on my hippo! EEEEEE!

Of course I entered to win another one, and perhaps some other loot! \o/
