it's so obvious that people use bots to get the latest limiteds and what not. plus, bot's are so easy to make. just have something refresh the catalogue page every few seconds and see if something came out. simple.

look at the iPads which came out. all of them were sold in under 10 seconds... obvious botting much?

how about we have captchas to prove that it is an actual human buying, not just a bot which is cheating the system.

i know this will probably ruin many hat investors' reason to play the game, but who cares. fairness over people being happy.

LPP's down the toliet

or they can make a rule "if you use a bot you'll be deleted and IP Banned forever?"

If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

@david

it is completely impossible to tell if someone's actually botting or not. of course you can assume, but you need full proof.

Plus admins can see a rich person's buying history. If it's all from diff people at low prices (which is how a bot works)

Well they get a 14 day ban and they have to contact roblox by e-mail

If you're an admin you have MORE CONTROLS then the user does.

The user can already see their buying / selling history

so an admin can ALSO see their buying / selling history.


gosh

So you're telling me that a person can be so lucky that he can get limiteds like DH, Illumina, DB, Ice Crown, and way more worth 1M+ ROBUX for about $5,000 ROBUX because of his "luck?".

If that is what you belive, then good luck to you. Thats why I said it's a 14 day ban and they can contact roblox. If it's legit.

it's highly unlikely.

but still possible.

if you are against people botting and want them to be banned anyway, why in the world are you disagreeing with me?

I don't think botting is a huge problem. There are some that use bots, but I think the majority of people get their items legitimately.

Well, no, 10 seconds doesn't take a bot. You just need the hat notifier and a quick mind.

This is not too bad, but has flaws. I'd honestly hate it if I tried to buy a hat. Also, you may know when a new hat comes out, you go to ROBLOX's profile, he has hats that are about to be sold. People may just realize it's about to be sold and go to the Catalogue and refresh like crazy. It's kind of crazy, but I honestly don't care. It's fine now.
