One of the big problems with the marketboard bots is that if you aren't competing on an item that sells at a very high rate, they'll just replace the one they sold with another. For example, the new crafted DoW/M gear sells quick. The bots will likely move theirs first, and then for the next hour or so, legit players might sell theirs. Then bots make more and relist and sell first again.

But for slower selling items... it is bots first and bots only. Let's say you are selling house walls. Maybe 1 sells per day (or week). That's plenty of time for the bot to replace it.

Problem is, most of the time, it is always bots first. Especially when there are multiple bots out there.
