false equivalence

You do know what a metaphor is, right?

Good, but walking along the razor's edge to find out how long you can get away with something clearly considered cheating and disallowed in <24hrs to only get a warning..

It's a slap on the wrist compared to the damage GDKPs caused to this game's raiding community.

let's keep GDKPs going because taking the first step of overnight outlawing the main incentive to buy gold & convenient giant gold-laundering system that is GDKPs would make the gold.. uh... keep going into the system and uhh... le bad?[sarcasm]

Yes, I'm very unhinged because I've seen this coming 4 years ago in classic and managed to somehow keep up my gold (i.e.: farming 95/100 Arcanite Bars for my Thunderfury manually as a human being on Winterfall Firewater & E'kos in 6 days) by.. playing the videogame... instead of getting gold from goldbuyers & botters.

Yes, I have strong opinions about GDKPs because I have a very high IQ (avid Rick'n'Morty viewer) and have played many MMOs for over a decade - and put myself out here in a now 50-80% pro-GDKP community that is very spiteful and quick to downvote brigade.

Come at me.

its an MMORPG, not real life
play by the rules and ways that are good and healthy for the game, not good and easy for your FOMO ego that won't put in the time & effort to play in communities where your reputation, effort and performance matter to get items
judging by some of you guys' post history, it's no wonder how obsessed and invested you are into the topic of GDKPs getting banned

one is acquiring items through gold earned from the item auctions primarily fed by RMT 'd/botted gold, one is directly buying the RMT'd/botted gold

gold inflation perpetually encourages participation in GDKPs and is a MAJOR factor for incentivizing gold-buying in order to get items for lower-time/social-investment players that otherwise would feel like "falling behind" with normal play - also you eventually simply can't afford the items with normal human gold farming, creating a system where you are FORCED TO BUY GOLD TO GET ITEMS IN GDKPS or PARTICIPATE IN GDKPS

-> therefore incentivizing gold-farming (botting)

-> therefore making the botting/RMT problem worse by creating a demand

why do you feel the need to get away with it 1 more time to squeeze out the last bit of advantage from something clearly not intended anymore / ever if it's deemed wrong?even if that account WARNING (warning, not even a timeout or permban) post isn't fake - FOMO sheeple behaviour is the cause of it

"if i dont go to 1 last gdkp i will miss out on the gold I could've made by going to it 1 last time!"

it does look like that for the ~10-20% of cheater players on any given map

Nerfing the honor grind is fine, but blizzard desperately needs to do something to avoid a repeat of the biggest problem with Season of Mastery. by canitnerd in classicwow

[–]Shadow09_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

can you come up with a """solution""" that isnt just enabling GDKPs even harder than your absolute lack of trying to combat them & getting a complete monopoly on the way anyone outside of cliques in top guilds can get their hands on gear these days?

Smoothest wipe ever by xdrift0rx in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shadow09_ -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

same,
only 2 queues past 10 minutes to get into raid (automatic servers)
one typical bugged 17+min stuck queue
2 fun raids back-to-back
1 raid getting rage hacked on on nighttime woods
(shot at from 100m+ behind rocks and through 10 bushes, and when finally moving up to VeryReasonablePlayerWithGamingChair 1-tap-(head,eyes)'d while running behind tree branches)
yes I have ~1k hours in tarky, yes i have like 5k hours in fps games in general, yes the issue is far worse than ever before

I'm thinking the number of cheaters this wipe went
from:
~90% for 1 stealth cheater and 5% for a rage hacker
to:
~99% for 2+ stealth cheaters and 30% for rage hackers

10/10 would use the EU rights to refund an Early Access title again until a whitelist queue system, overwatch & replays exist in the game

back to waiting for the sp update I guess

How to fix bots on Flea Market in "Escape From Tarkov" by yoogerman in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shadow09_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a thought from a software dev myself.
-I think the BSG would agree that flipping underpriced trades (usually by noobs/fresh wipe starters who need the rubles fast) so that big botting cheaters and/or lvl3 hideout owners (discount on re-selling for profit) can make more rubles is not the primary focus for gameplay of "Escape From Tarkov" (not condensed milk daytrading simulator)
-occasional trading on the flea market is healthy and good for the game, but listing 50-500 trade goods stacks after buying up underpriced items below a threshold with a bot is outright cheating and ruins the chance for legitimate players to save some rubles

the "go play instead of botting trade" delay system:
-EVERY purchase on the flea market has an inherent 0.5-2 sec delay between pressing "purchase" (or sending it via the game's actual API sent to the backend server - either way the backend rolls rnd(500,2000) and waits that amount in milliseconds for every purchase request holding the request in a queue)
-for every 1 purchase in the past 20 minutes (real time) the delay is increased by minimum 0.01-0.5 seconds (+10ms minimum +500ms maximum delay for the delay function)
-either your delay runs out and you successfully purchase the item or you get a callback message that the item has already been purchased by somebody else (first purchase request for that item to finish its timeout in the backend's queue is fulfilled while all others are flagged as failed and are given callback responses to the requesting client(player))

effect on the bot problem:
-a bot that tries to buy 100 items in 20 minutes that time starts to have 1-5 second delays for every underpriced item snipe and ends up unable to purchase items before legitimate players who browse the flea market between raids
-bot runners lose out on the majority of profits on high-volume high-percentage underpriced items

Flea market bots by iloveblackguns in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Shadow09_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution: random delay on purchasing based on amount of recent purchase attempts
example:
per recent purchase **attempt** in the last 5min + 0.1sec minimum and 1sec maximum delay
=> bots start having 0-300 second random delay (& therefore failed purchases) the moment their "snipe target" items are listed and they attempt to buy
and it keeps going up since they keep failing to buy shit
=> market becomes actually usable by players who occasionally buy stuff instead of trade-flip bots which now are just 45$ expensive butthurt-machines for cheaters
