Now a days I repeatedly see limited items selling for less then they were sold for. For example, The Masked Hood Of The Slitherspeaker. It originally sold for 5,555 robux and now it is selling for on average I would say 1.5K to about 2.5K. And I've seen it in a lot of hats. I have also noticed that the value of robux is about 13 tix! It was around 10 just a couple of months ago. So I new then that the reason the hats were selling for cheap wasn't because the value of robux was low, it was because people were able to snag the hat for a cheap price. Hence they no longer need to sell the item at full price so they sell it for cheap. When someone buys there reduced price product, they don't have to sell the limited they get for the price of the original because they had gotten it for cheaper. So they sell it for less. Not to mention the fact that lots of people use a sniper bot. So an abnormal amount of people are getting hats for cheap which in turn brings down the price of the limited. So what I am trying to get support for is a "Anti-Bot" method. I would say the simplest way to get rid of bots are the Recaptcha challenges. Putting these on all limiteds would help, But I know. Nobody wants to fill out those things before buying a limited, but still. I want to see what you guys have to say. Leave a reply.

Support
Sniper bots are fairly similar to aimbots, they get shots quickly and in your head. Not exactly in your head for the sniper bots... |

| There could also be a captcha for purchasing or selling items. |

This is a more complex issue than you could imagine. It's not a simple "we can fix it" issue. Captchas are annoying and would need to be integrated into the current code, and would restrict the actual purchasing power of humans.
They can't just "fix" it so easily, and there isn't a good solution. |

Only that's nearly impossible.
"There could also be a captcha for purchasing or selling items."
Which may stop a lot of bots, sure. But not all of them.
"... would need to be integrated into the current code, ..."
Well obviously, it would need to be integrated into current code. CAPTCHAs aren't hard to make either.

| Boost, I need more support. Hat sniper bots have got to go, in the united states it is a FEDERAL crime to use bots on stocks because it gives people an un-fair advantage. Roblox, you have to fix this to fix your economy. I'm sick of all these hats failing to botters. |

| I guess a captcha would solve anything bot related, trust me. |
