Usually a few times before I sell everything, some people could probably think I'm a bot since I sometimes keep a very close eye on it. I'm just curious if people are seeing legitemate players as bots in this case.
The typical market bots:

1. Only have a single DoW/M job at level 90 with nothing else touched aside from DoH/L.

2. Are online 24/7.

3. Are only ever on DoH/L jobs and never actually doing other activities once they've hit the level cap on their sole combat job.

4. Will undercut you within 5-10 minutes of making a price adjustment regardless of the time of day.


There are also some "casual" market botters who play normally in the day but leave crafting and/or gathering scripts running overnight.
