Surely this was a sniper bot on the AH?

So 1 quick picture says it all (Look time-stamps in chat)

So in my head I was like /sigh, is hasnt sold for 2 days now, Ill just lower it to something lower like 2000...not paying attention cause lol, I posted it wrong for bit less.

It was instantly bought in 2-3 sec's.

This for sure cant be a actual human being?

PS: I dont care about the gold at all, while typing this I already sold for about 5k :P I had the cloak just randomly from farming teroks toy^^

People use UIs that can scan the auction house and quick buy if things are at a thrashhold

But also in 2-3 sec on something completely random that has no point...I mean the cloak is ugly, not even good for transmog ?

It's hard to say really, I've caught quite a few underpriced auctions by just rescanning the AH while being bored.

It had point, it was cheaper than the cloak normally is in the auction house.

There are many people who play WoW to flip AH, those people aren't really interested in any other aspect of the game, but AH. There are also people who farm gold this way to sell it for RL money.

So it's quite normal that your item was bought out within few seconds after you posted it.

Ok I guess there is addons that can pick this up fast enough - I only use Auctionator and collection shop myself ^^ I guess TSM or w/e addons ppl use for sniping is that good + insane luck on refresh.

just refresh the last page of the auction house and you see all the newly posted items. No luck needed besides beeing the first one buying it. But indeed there are at least 10 bots on my realm, buying stupidly cheap stuff instantly off the ah, too.

TSM has a whole portion of it dedicated to sniping. I admit that they buyout was fast, but I believe it was just pure luck.

I have placed potions before and had them mass purchased in less than 4 seconds. I would have assumed foul play except they were sold at a very standard price so it was just someone who looked at the right time.

you posted an item below 10% DBRegionMarketAvg

fella with TSM heard the snipe sound and rolled his mousewheel

nothing inhuman happened.

It takes half a second to buy with a proper sniper, the big time difference is the AH cooldown (you can refresh a page only every X time, increasing as the overall number of auctions posted increases), not the guy clicking

I see. Maybe I should look into TSM one time :P

It can't be a robot if robot has been guided by human.
