This " Hoarder intervention: you'll now be prevented from buying new goods at auction if your mailbox holds 50 or more uncollected auction items." Does this mean 50 items or 50 *stacks* of items?? Like slots? D:
Related, if I have non-auction items that were sent to me via the mail, do those count? I have at least 50 items in my mail box that I'm leaving in there until I have a better place to put them because they don't stack and I don't want to buy a bunch more bags (I already have too many).
This would seem like an interesting way to toss a wrench in the works of the players using auction sniping tools. Figure out what they are sniping, then list fifyt individual lots of that item at low, low prices...
It's sorta the opposite of throwing a wrench in the works... you're giving whoever sniped the 50 auctions exactly what they want. Do you think people with snipers running don't check the total number of goods they've sniped/their currant balance?
Kalstept, I have no idea what API extensions other player use and when they use them.
How do you use the scripts? If you've never used them, perhaps experimenting a bit with them would be informative.
Remember that the API is created by TS for players who want to do some programming on their own. When the sniping API was introduced, stoot said that was exactly the kind of thing they'd had in mind when they created it. They are an integral part of the game, created by TS for player use.
Definitely scriptz are a part of the game. But figuring out creative ways to make them do fun and different things is part of the game, too. Since auctioning is done out-of-game Flash-wise, I would assume the auction sniping scripts are run that way as well. I just threw this out there as an idea of a fun thing for players to do.
Kalstept the auction sniper I use allows me to choose whether to buy "full stacks" or "partial stacks"... selecting "full stacks only" would of course completely nullify what you're proposing, other than making it harder / more tedious for the person trying to throw a wrench in my buying. ^_^
Not sure why you'd want to mess with people who auction snipe anyway. As long as the goods get bought what's the problem? It's still profit for the seller and it's goods that I need that are a hassle to constantly have to search and buy on auction manually. ~O.o~
Sorry I didn't see this earlier guys! Definitely referring to stacks (as is usually the case, if you're ever in doubt). This update was mostly about people's mailboxes going all wonky when they were stuffed full of too many auction deliveries with unopened attachments.
