ModdedGeneration Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Im sure this has been asked 1000 times, but i wanted to ask for my own curiosity. So now a days i'm starting to see more and more "Trade with humans not bots" etc etc, would it be possible to maybe make a feature on the site to filter by bot and human? Like its fairly easy to figure whose a bot, so would it work to make a filter option of either just wanting quick trade bots or actual humans?

LaughingLollipop Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 the ones making the rules are profiting off the bots bots gotta donate to get slots, donations go to moderators and besides the bot infestation is so rampant that actually culling them would dramatically slow stuff (check sellers on anything that isn't unusual... its all bots) so yeah... this will never happen imo Bentry Suster and Maelstrom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On next.backpack, bots are labelled with "BOT" on their listings. May not be an official filtering feature, but can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill Warren Buffett, competition is good for the consumers which so happens to be most of the player base. Your first wrong step is trading in this game for profit or trying to get larger margins on widely available items. Even if bots couldn't trade the prices for keys, tickets, paints, common hats, taunts and other items would be just as "bad" as it is now with longer wait times on trading.

This is a forums for a trading website, so the question was addressed from a trading standpoint, not a consumer standpoint. I think the bots are great for low tier items, such as keys etc, as you are right and the general consumer does gain something from the convenience of this. However, the average consumer isn't interacting with bot x's undercut listing for a 300 key unusual, and that is where a lot of people have issue with the bots--which was more in line of what I was talking about. I don't think anyone mentioned specifically low tier items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 tbf whoever is getting undercut 300 keys is doing something wrong with their item. STEVE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
