Cryomancer7 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi all you my friends, and strangers from the internet who can be possibly rapists and kidnappers! Well, my debate here is, Why we should take as correct bots in suggestions? The market can be extremely easy to take control for a group of people, who create bots, and launch them to outpost, handle the suggestions with them. I amn't accusing someone, but It's true, bots should be prohibited for ALL the suggestions, especially Key and Tools suggestions. What you think about it?

Curly Brace Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The bots aren't trading between themselves, they require humans to agree to trade with them. Bots can simply be used as support proof, but nothing can rely only on them. And if the entire market is small enough to be controlled by one person, then a human could do that just as easy as a bot could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoDoRiN Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Whether or not backpack.tf dictates as valid proof or not, it is no different than another trader with the exact same purpose: to trade. Bots influence the market, if not controlling it. They have huge advantage over regular traders with larger scales and better efficiency. I say I would treat them no different than a regular trader with no problems with proofs. They affect the market as much as regular users as well.

dabaers Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I don't really see why not? Bots have to be programmed by someone right? They decide the price and how the bot works. The bot just trades for them while they sleep or whatever. Still a person behind it, they just trade 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slocumruls Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 People buy my TOD tickets at .44 ref+ over what the bots are currently charging. I see the bots as having no more advantage than an average Premium Outpost/Bp.tf/Bazaar account. The only main difference is they are capable of responding 24/7. However, that doesn't mean they are capable of maintaining stock 24/7 (This applies to keys just as well as tod tickets or paints or anything else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♠Derpeh♤ Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Bots are not valid proof for lowering prices same principle as quick sellers because people pay for the convenience...etc Don't see why they shouldn't be valid for increasing the price tho. If bots are buying for higher than current prices it means a seller can sell a higher price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryomancer7 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 No one understood what I tried to say. 1 Bot =/= 1 Trader 98 Bots CAN be = to 1, 2, or 3 traders. 1 Trader = Infinite Bots Infinite Bots = 1 Trader Infinite Bots = 87 Traders Infinite Bots = Infinite Traders How can all you be sure what the differents bots in the market aren't controlled for a group of users? We can't know who take the control on they. So, how we can be sure what the suggestions/market/different things aren't being controlled for a selective user's group?
