I know that market bots haven't been allowed for a while now, but why was the decision to remove them made? I don't think I was around when it happened.

I don't know much about it but here is a thread LINK

It appears they buy cheap items fast and sell them for a fixed price.
So it would make it unfair for marketers to actually market and make profit, so i guess thats why they banned it.

what he said, no normal person will be able to get good deals.

The bots just find good enough deals and instantly buy them the second they come up and sell them for a more normal price which is just completely unfair.

Exactly,so basically if you didnt had a bot you were screwed.

the banning of the bots made the market waaaaayyyyyyy better that it was before.

Thanks for the answers, closing
