Then i whispered the sniping toon whenever i saw him online (also figured out his mains) and offered him 200g per time i wanted to trade stuff over for him to back off. He didn't trust the deal (what is the catch?) and refrained from stealing my stuff. Cause i got him back over and over again with sniping him.
- Ever since I have 2 accounts open (just vanilla ones) on another machine that only snipe the AH. It's not considered botting the way i do it (confirmed by a gm), it just took me a while to figure out a good way (think about boxing multiple machines, where 1 click = 1 action ... i.e. you cast lava burst on your main machine, but your broadcaster sends the same key to another machine, but the 1 = scan AH there). Also there are (legal) ways to detect movement i.e. if someone is within range. Only need to start scanning / searching at that point.
Bottom line, been sniping the neutral AH for about 2 months and I have way over 100k profit.
- i still trade stuff over on a daily basis, often a few 100 stacks of saronite or cloth. And i'm no longer sloppy. 1 rogue booty bay basement, 1 rogue booty bay ramp, 1 rogue winterspring 1 rogue tanaris and i'm always safe
