Since the introduction of devex there has been an influx of alternate accounts running bots that are ripping off the paying customers of roblox.

As we speak I am being attacked by one of these bots. I can't make a single sale in the catalog because of this one particular bot covering every bid I make.
I have tried to undercut until I buy him out, but he comes up with pages more of the same hats and covers my bids again.
Reporting does nothing but get him angry and attack me even harder.

I would suggest that you stipulate visits as a requirement to cash out robux. Then these bots would have to at least build a good game in order to cash out the money their stealing from us.

So even if you had the robux to cash out , you would still need to have received a certain amount of visits from a game to qualify for payout.

Or at the very least , get rid of the bots and alternates.

This is not possible. They can't tell alts from new people.


The moment roblox does what you want and not what you need is the day roblox dies.

No. There are some people who specifically come to ROBLOX with accounts for the financial game. You can't simply put a base to when people can sell or buy items. If they have multiple of the same items (which is indeed possible), they are rich or they are lucky. Either way there's no way to help you with that. If he is indeed hacking the site, then report. However, my suggestion is either wait for someone to sell at a lower price, or there are some sites that you can visit (knowing this from TheGamer101 and other friends of mine) that allow you to instantly buy an item when available. Other than that I'm sorry.

I agree that ROBLOX should do something about bots, but I don't think you should need a certain number of place visits to cash out.

So I assume you are talking about limiteds? You're lying...
So someone has programmed a bot with either an infinite hacked amount of R$ or is buying it, programmed it to buy 8 (Or more for "pages") of the hat you try to sell, then sell it for less than you (Thus making a loss), just to annoy you.

GTFO...

I can do very well in the catalog and have. I have turned 15000 robux into a 300k robux per year in sales.

But I can't compete against the bot that buys everything under 100 robux before the rest of us even see the price. Most of their purchases only cost them 1 robux. Which is something you don't see very often anymore since these bots took over. Before devex I would see at least 3 one robux hats per day. Not now though.

There needs to be better policing of the catalog limited section. Otherwise Roblox devex won't last.

Limited items should also have no more than 5 multiples. This will reduce hoarding and prevent price pushing.

PS I don't plan on cashing in robux until I have a game worth playing. I play the market to increase my inventory.

It's funny , If I threw the name at you, you would all agree with me. But I'm not here to pick on anyone, I just want a safer place to play.

Personally I agree there are bots on roblox. But it's someone using a plugin on his main, no point in doing it on a different account as then he still has to get the hats onto that account. Also, how do you define bots and players with an algorithm? Base place visits would be a poor one, as then most traders wouldn't meet the standereds.

You want a safer place to play simply because you can;t get a hat made of pixels? These items are not even physically real, let alone worth the 250k they charge for it. Why whine about it?

Dark, your statement is inherently flawed. 250k is worth $625 USD, so in the same way BitCoin are pixels.And also, if people enjoy it, why not? It is good for a real world understanding of the stock market (Inflation or deflation of the prices due to events like Easter and Christmas, just like IRL)

Two things:
1. Hoarding isn't bad
2. Alts
