It seems that GAIJIN has not implemented any banning measures at all. I reported it several times before, and the administrators said they would check for violations. But before long, it started trading in-game currency again.
On top of that, the bot trading in the market is so fast. As soon as you place an order, it’s immediately outbid by bots at a higher price. I even suspect that their own staff have installed bot scripts on the market servers.
I’ve definitely noticed this too, and I highly doubt it’s all real players, because no one can react that quickly. This also isn’t talked about enough IMO.
Here is an older thread too, for anyone interested:
And here are some of my longer replies about the issue, from that thread:
I have made reports myself. I have talked about the issue for a long time. But the bots keep spamming $0.01 over bids and uncut bids every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Like I mentioned in one of my previous replies, it IS possible for one human to spam thousands of bids a day (I have done it myself in other games.) HOWEVER, there will ALWAYS be a pause while that HUMAN sleeps. But on the Gaijin Marketplace, there is NO break, NO pause, EVER.
Even during my craziest periods of marketplace/auction house spamming I HAD to take food breaks, bathroom breaks, and SOME sleep. Even if it was only 2 or 4 hours in one day sometimes, it is impossible to underbid/overbid 24 hours a day.
It is 100% bots. There is 0 question or debate about it. It would be extremely easy to ban the botting accounts. Gaijin has the information, but since they made sales and bids anonymous, we can’t even report a specific account for botting now.
I used to play Ultimate team on Fifa… coins on UT is very big business and they had the same issue with price fixing bots. Coins generated sold on BM. EA staff members were even caught selling generated cards.
I read the story you posted about the chap getting banned when he scalped the bot… only 1 conclusion if true and it isnt good
