Does Glitch approve the use of Auction House bots?
I price my items so players can enjoy them.
Some (players) are just buying them up, to raise prices on players without skills to make their own.
What does Glitch think about this?

Thank you for your time.

- What does it matter what people do with the product once they buy it? It's theirs, so they can raise the prices if they want. Besides, this is about the 8th thread debating whether or not the snipers are approved or not... and as far as I recall, the last response to this (6 or so months ago) was, "We're keeping an eye out, but it's not currently a big deal."
  Besides, a great many people just use them to buy in quantity- rather than clicking 18 separate auction listings, they can grab up what they want all at once. There's a lag time on it, too, so it's not like whatever the sniper's buying is getting swiped out from under people.

  Thank you for your thoughts.

- I don't mean that reply to be snarky, I was just trying to lay out the gist of what got said last time.

- I agree with your thoughts, WhereIsTheCandy. A game where everything is automated is not fun. In fact, I was upset earlier for feeding bats "half my items" (which is defaulted at a lower number) instead of 5. But, then I thought about how huge the markets would be if it was set to give the maximum return.
  I think there is something to be said for the human factor--being there to purchase an item you find on auction. Sadly, if one auctionbot is blocked, I imagine a new one will be made.
  The plus side of this, while I hate my ugly tower, you have to be there to buy from it. I don't have any items up for sale yet, personally, but towers could overtake the auctions eventually. If people get tired enough of the auctionbots, then the frog will disappear.
  btw, you have a nice street. ty for the trees!

- I don't really sell any items on Auction besides Yellow Crumb and maybe some extra regular resources. I found the best way to get rid of things is just to leave them around. Nothing in Glitch is that expensive.
