You need to divert more attention to the Trade Currency Bots. Seriously.

If you're a currency trader, you'll of noticed these bots by now. All the time, those bots will make it much harder for humans to make money. We post offers, then the bots better them by a teeny bit. Although our brains are more flexible, the bots can post offers a lot faster than us. I believe they're 80% responsible for how slow the currency trade is with limit orders. I won't go into too much detail-but heck, those bots make our lives a lot harder.

PLEASE, please do something about these bots. We can't just wait for them to go away-they're pestering us 24/7.

And how exactly do you want them to stop them? At least give a suggestion, instead of flinging out a general thing you want to occur.

One does not simply get rid of bots.

The ROBLOX team patch exploits. Surely they can patch bots?

@3rd,
They're simply doing the exact same thing a human does. Simply a little faster.

Maybe add a capatcha to answer every 5 minutes?

"The ROBLOX team patch exploits. Surely they can patch bots?"

Bots != exploits.


Exploits are bad code that does things more or less unexpectedly. Bots open up a webpage like a human (sort of) and do the tasks like humans (sort of). The only good way is to add a CAPTCHA, but this still doesn't solve botting problems.

Because a bot can still slip past CAPTCHAs. If a program can recognize a person's face, you think a bot could recognize numbers/letters.

Wait, you're saying Capachas don't work?

Not what I'm saying, I'm saying they're not as affective as people think they are.

But it's worth a try, anyways. If it doesn't stop them, it'll slow them down.

Maybe do a short easy little game you have to do before you can enter your trade? Not something hard.

Something anyone is capable of.

Since bots can't play games like humans can.

Maybe every time you play that game, you get 10 trades. When you're running low, you can choose to play the game again to refresh your number of trades to 10 again.

@3rdblox

That sounds great.

But the game would really only take a few seconds. It's not like it's that big of a deal.

Ooo, look at this brilliant rate. I must trade quickly. -> Cannot trade quickly as his, or her, ten trades have already been completed. He, or she, now misses the trade forcing them to go for a lower rate.

No support.

What about the people who use the website on their mobile devices? You can't launch the ROBLOX Player via Safari or Chrome on iOS just yet...

But they're a small minority. I believe most TC'ing is done by people with PCs, and the benefits of this would outweigh the negatives.

max trades have to be 20 or something at a time.
So someone can't just play the game a million times adding 500 trades.

Botters would trade automatically, correct?

How about we lock out accounts that trade too quickly?
That might work.

@DoubleA7,
If they were going to do a system where you have to play the game to unlock X trades, I agree completely.

@Frozen, the bots could just be edited to have a bit of a delay to pass the system. We need a Capatcha.

Well, the problem with TC bots is that they trade very small amounts, raising the price, yes?

If we force people to trade large amounts at once, wouldn't that stop TC bots being a problem in the first place?


I'm not a botter or a scripter, I have little knowledge about this subject.
Just throwing that out.

If we forced people to trade large amounts at once, new TC'ers would have problems getting started.
