In effect, the market bots get to hide amongst all the users that CCP don't ban. Getting the market info out to an API or a CREST API would take away a hiding place.NoizyGamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315716516032999133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-76846749624707002652013-09-06T13:43:48.927-05:002013-09-06T13:43:48.927-05:00It is not just market bots which rely on EVE Centr...It is not just market bots which rely on EVE Central and similar services (if any - do market bots care about other regions but the one they are in?); honest industrialists engaged in capital-intensive production (T2 materials, T2 ships, capitals) do so as well in order to have to avoid hours of tedious data entry into their spread sheets.<br /><br />An API to retrieve time-delayed market prices is long overdue. PvPers can use automations like evemaps to look at signs of target activity in other systems without having an alt there (NPC kills, jumps), so it'd be only fair if industrialists could look up market data from afar as well.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-19867063615922712032013-09-06T13:11:29.431-05:002013-09-06T13:11:29.431-05:00Maybe you are trying to handle too much then.

Ok, I mean, I don't like bots either but manually checking prices across multiple regions on multiple items is a huge pain in the ass. As implemented it is a huge amount of busy work for anyone that wants to get into the production and distribution side of the eve market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-52356545754220957962013-09-06T09:11:33.583-05:002013-09-06T09:11:33.583-05:00wish they would make some in game market bots.

Trying to stalk items in Null sec is tough without a cash scraper and make it an Isk Sink to do so.<br />But restrict their use like in Jita where the market is already competative and the quantities being sold are massive and there is plenty of profit to be made by a 1 isk change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
