it should not be on the people, its up to the company to get rid of bots and should have 0 effect on the AH at all as they will just find ways around it like they have since day one…we gotta get someone on this lmao
Appreciate the feedback on this, it’s a delicate balance between having bot measures in place that are effective and negatively impacting regular players. Will see if there are any possible adjustments that can be made.
Currently it waste player so much time when trying to buy life skill material for stronghold crafting. Just send one of your developer and ask them to buy 9000 fish and see how long it takes. I am not exactly sure what this “history check” is suppose to prevent, but I am pretty sure bots don’t buy life skill mats? How about lift this check from life skill mats please.
the biggest problem I am having with this is when I want to buy something in bulk, for example logs or iron ore, the game only allows me to buy 990 at once, and if I want to buy 10k, I have to wait too much due to this system
Thanks for checking in on it! Even giving us 2-5 minutes of “verified time” or something like that would go a long way. It’s so tough to buy things in bulk with the way the purchasing system works. I’ve tried the spam method that someone suggested and it’s a little better but it’s still extremely obtrusive and difficult.
Obviously stopping bots is priority number 1 but if there is anything you are able to do to improve our experience, that would be great.
Yeah the timer is at most 10 seconds. You just leave the window open the whole time, wait 10 seconds and click buy again.
cough Two-factor ID account creation cough
This will be nothing because bot will adjust for it
having to wait 10sec, if you want to buy multiple amounts of anything is really fun
there’s literally 1k bots in vern at any time on any server, but yea, having those “tools” are preventing the bots from using the auction house
pretty sure they never actually play their own game, thinking things like this are actually more useful against bots then in comparison to annyoing real players
Can you just make that a trusted account thing like trading with other players?

Easiest change you can probably do is disable this for anyone who spent money on the game.
this wouldnt be so bad if the auction house actually gave you the amount you order
for example say you want to buy the blue guardian stones for your armor upgrade you can see there is over 200k listed at say 3 gold you try to buy a stack of 10k then oh no you only got 1k out of your 10, so you go back try again then this message pops up making it more annoying then again same thing and its a cycle that tilts people and this goes for anything on auction house.
if the auction house actually gave you the amount you tried to purchase this wouldnt piss off the actual players as badly. now try to buy some ability stones knowing the first stone you cut wont be perfect you try to buy say 3 or more, can you see how this tilts people
I spent 10 minutes buying oreha mats to craft and it took me about 20s before this new addition. It’s really bad.
I like buying level 1 gems to complete my gems sometimes and yes it is quite the annoying slog.
Make it so that that only happens on non trusted account maybe
how is that even the slightest effective
bots are selling not buying
just admit you never tried to use market system
see all the lv 1 and lv 2 gems
they are all from bots and bots only
they are selling not buying
holy
stop listening to those complainers who wants to buy things for 2-3 gold below market price and blaming the bots because they cant, thats not bots buying, its all the people trying to buy things for 2-3gold below market price buying em, market is across all servers in the same region, of course it will be hard to get a steal stop listening to those who only complains holyyyyyyyyyy
Hello…i Honestly agree with this change and i don’t find it intrusive. Annoying? Yes, at the beginning, after few purchases got used to it. How some of y’all don’t have 5 seconds to wait? Literally 5 seconds…is y’all life’s so important that you can’t wait 5 seconds after you bought something and then buy the same or other item again? You don’t have to close the AH, just stay on the same page and click buy again or wait 5s and retry. I remember not long ago that on the forum were posts about people and bots who are using scripts in AH, measure got taken for that now we fucking complain all over again. My goodness…
So being an avid fish enjoyer, I would like to propose that:
- We see a countdown timer on how long we are locked out
- “Failing” a transaction, as in, you tried to buy something but it’s already gone should not continue to lock you out
It is incredibly frustrating to try to buy life skill materials right now. You waste so much time sitting there trying to refill your stock.
I’m pretty sure bots aren’t buying life skill mats, they are selling them. So in this case, restricting the normal player from interacting in this section doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I’m stealing this ![]()
you legit only wait couple seconds. ya are so lazy and act like couple seconds a life time wait. when all you are doing is sitting by your computer. its not a problem at all.
