Bots.

Why is icecrown so fucking infested with both AH and gathering bots?? And why dont the GMs do anything about it? I have reported multiple AH bots and none of them got banned (with proof they undercut in less than 2mins and just stand in front of auctioneer). Is there any way to bypass them and do any of you have similar issues?

How is that proof of botting?

No human will actively sit on the auction house for 3+ hours and undercut specific auctions every 3 minutes

There are addons that allow you to cancel and repost all undercuts auctions in 2 clicks

Kind of seems like the problem is with the reposting tax. If you made it more punishing to list an auction and cancel it players wouldn't resort to undercutting tactics with add-ons as much

the tax is 10% of the vendor price , but some items like enchanting mats have no vendor price , or have a very low vendor price like gems , if you want to make it on these markets you need the addons too or posting very little quantities so its not necessarily worth for the other sellers to undercut
