Crying about a bot system which were approved by njaguar many years ago,even helped setting up.

You bot yourself as the whole community does.

No sense.

Uh,

See my profile for evidence that shops are helping the community.

If Person A, is up when no one else is and needs a certain item... no one is on so how can he progress the game?? Oh wait muleEF has a shop!! I can progress the game now!

Not to mention, you avoid being scammed by 100%.

Voted no

So if OP does bot, what does he gain by posting this thread?

None of this is making sense to me rn.

@OP - can you confirm?

I got out of d2 trading because it was always the dupe exploiters making the real money. The supposed elite in the community couldn't earn a single penny fairly while others broke their backs during reset.

Botting was never really an issue though since D2 became automated years before this anyways.

Voted no.

Lmfaoo? Remove away, does not defeat the fact that you yourself bot use the "auto bot" i mean "auto shop" no need to get hostile. If Njag approved it there should be no worries and this post will get closed

And as far as botting I think everyone runs a bot, the difference here is not everyone can be on 24 hours a day to sell items with an "automated bot shop" nor can they talk about it openly. Its quite ridiculous for a site so strongly against 3rd party anything they allow this. I have a strong feeling these days are going to be numbered. And over priced bot shop items do NOT benefit the community in any way.

Rule #20 to be exact seems to be in contradiction with the auto shops,

something has to give; either allow the autoshops to continue and change the rules ( #20 No botting or automation of any features within d2jsp, including, but not limited to, posting, page refreshing, Ladder Slasher. https://forums.d2jsp.org/info.php?p=9 ) to be less ambiguous or get rid of autoshops. also note the argument about botting ingame is an irrelevant straw man as there are no rules that exist to cover that nor would it actually be easily enforceable if they did exist.

but they dont post or refresh pages?
the bot just reads IRC chat

But it's a bot none the less though right? It's automated trading right? I mean we can talk "loop holes" all day but it still seems to be against the rules.

sounds like ur mad cause my auto shops outsell you anyday.
and as cheetos said, it just leads to an IRC chat. it does not violate rule 20 what so ever.
try again.
The fail from you is always so strong.

I am not mad at all! I think it should just be an even playing field for everyone involved :).

And as you said you don't outsell me the auto shops out sell me. You proved my point and I appreciate that greatly. Also it looks like you have alot to lose if this rule was ever changed, worst that can happen is they don't change it business is normal. Best that can happen is they do change it and you actually have to start selling your own items.
