Modified Auctioneer - Automated Neutral AH Buyout Ninja

[manw]

And just as I was about to stop sniping neutral AH, Blizzard decided to remove all my gold and in game mail. Lost about 40k gold, had 35k gold in my mail from AH, just when I sold my Vial of the Sands.
Funny thing is, I was sending all items to my main account, and used some random vanilla account for non stop sniping. They targeted my main account, but no warning, suspension nor ban was issued.
They also deleted all the gold on my bank char. They did however miss all the epics I stashed in my bank
Guess I'll have to snipe for another week or so. Unless I somehow manage to get the items back. Will try to get my gold at least since using Auctioneer and stealing from neutral AH is legal, not nice, but legal. And since I wasn't suspended, banned or warned, they probably didn't detect EVO. Otherwise I'd eat a fat perma ban since I got 72h suspension some 10 days ago. So as far as I can see it, everything was legal. We'll see.
I was sitting on a chair in Everlook, having /afk tag and targeting something else. Then I suddenly got ported outside the building, and I was like, "WTF MAN!" for 2 seconds or so, then I understood what was happening, so I just logged out. Should not have done that, would've been so cool if I did /rude and /chicken emote and then taunt the GM. I didn't get any whispers.

I'm just going to add that Blizzard are so full of bullshit. A couple of years ago my account got hacked, all my characters got their gear disenchanted and all money sent away. I got all my gear back (and actually by some mistake I got double of everything, and my soulbond BoEs became unbound ). Anyway, I was told that they can't track mail. Now they just proved themselves wrong. Bunch of backstabbing hypocrite liars. I'm just a honest thief.

When you sniped good or expensive item, i think you need to delete the char, make another one for snipping but change the place, let's say you was in everlook, switch the new char in gadgetzan and it will be safe, because when you snipe someone you can be sure that's he is going to report you, then if the GM saw you behind the AH for a longtime, he will pretend that you are snipping/hacks even if you are not.
It's only my guess but i think it's pretty safe to do that and you can choose a weird nickname with full of accent, can help too.

So I took the jump and am deciding to give this a go... I am using the EVO as my LUA? I'm kind of newbish so bare with me here... I am hearing the dings and whatnot... Have it set at 1 second scans... It is saying that it's queueing the buy out then buying out, but doesn't purchase the item.. Just rescans.... Are my scans too fast? Thanks....

It doesn't buy because you do not have LUA unlock enabled :P

Boy do I feel dumb... I'm such a noob... LoL... Thanks... (I think)


One more question though... Does this stuff work in background mode? Can I surf the web or something on the same computer while scanning/buying?

Yes you can.

[dbshoots]

Yes you can.

Thanks....

Also, is there anyway to get rid of the text in chat that auctioneer makes whenever you do a scan? I don't mind seeing a list of items that it's trying to buy in chat but the list for scanning is a little overwhelming... Thanks for all the great help!

Nevermind... I finally found it...

where's @?

[dbshoots]

where's @?

So I wasn't the only one with the problem? Nice.... Here it goes...

Open up AH, click on the configure button at the top of the AH.... Go into Core Options, General, then scroll down to Data Retrieval... Make sure that, "Enable the display of the post scan summary after a full scan", is unchecked.

Have something interesting... So I got a hit today... Guy was switching over about 15 item, but I was only able to grab two of them. The items that I wasn't able to grab was saying, "Bid Failed: The item was not found". What happened? Am I doing something wrong? Did someone grab it before me?

yea someone was faster than you :P

Well in that case.... Is there anyway to get rid of the queueing and just buy it out automatically? Cause it seems that the less time it takes to grab it the better your chances... I notice that it will say something like when it finds and item that it is queueing up for it, then it will say something like it's trying to buyout the item... Didn't know if there was a way to get around that... I missed a lot of good items because of someone being too fast...


Either way this addon is so AWESOME! I had gotten a PvP chest piece that I got off a guy. I ended up posting it up on the AH for 1k and it sold to the same guy that I grabbed it from, LoL. Then I ended up getting it back again once he tried to put it up on the AH. He sent me a tell asking if he could get it back. I said, "Sure, for 1,000g."

No, because you don't understand what's happening. The buy queue is instant because I enabled the addon to buy without a hardware event. The queue stacks up if there's a player having to click the button - it doesn't if it's all done instantly. The fact that someone might be getting something before you means that they're most likely using this addon too, and your scans are probably happening about a half second apart.

Thanks for clarifying. I have no clue how stuff like this works, but am amazed how well it does work. You, my friend, are awesome. Thanks for the software. And hopefully you're weather in Houston is much better than what it's like in San Antonio where I live. This past week hasn't been too bad since we now have been getting a little rain here and there... It's been a very dry and hot summer... Thanks again!

Can we ignore a specific item ? because someone spam 7 pages of items and it's pretty borring because addon scan only the first and last page

I had a character in every neutral AH town. They would kill me in one town, then I'd swap to second one.

And finally, after plenty of messages sent back and forth between me and Blizzard, the situation ended like this:

[spoiler]Greetings,

We are writing to inform you that we have, unfortunately, had to permanently suspend your World of Warcraft account.

World of Warcraft Account Name: WoW1

Character Name Involved:


While we regret taking this type of action, we have determined it to be in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game.

[spoiler]Funny thing is, new WoW account is only like 7 euros, which in game currency is about 8000g. I got about 150k gold so it was definitely worth it
But I guess that I should be thankful, I was writing the tickets from my main account, and they only closed the other one.[/spoiler]
