Are scripts allowed?

Admins should check out the script and players shouldn't use them ( only in the case where the scripts are not allowed ).
I tried this on a random market, and guess what, not only the 1st time, but also the 2nd and 3rd time with the same result:
the 2 scenarios trie
😛
I. IRON MARKET [not a mandatory read, but a good intro]
1. i place 5 iron q2 at the price of 0.1 of the countries specific currency
2. i went in another tab, the one with the market and refreshed it several times
3. i observed the products, they were still there
4. the mathematical probability for another player who is online to be on that same specific page is too hard for me to calculate at this hour, but its 1 to a number with enough zeros
5. bought those products back
6. no specific notes here
II. GUN MARKET [a good read imo]
1. i place 1 gun q2 on the market at the price of 0.1 of the countries specific currency
2. i went in another tab, the one with the market and refreshed it several times
3. i observed the products were gone before my first refresh
4. the mathematical probability for another player who is online to be on that same specific page is too hard for me to calculate at this hour, but its 1 to a number with enough zeros
5. hmm, it seems fishy but anything may happen right?
6. i decided to try again some time later
7. tried again, the same thing happened
8. this is certainly a script, a decent script that makes a player or a group of players ahead of the rest
in case scripts are allowed, the algorithms and mechanics for such scripts are not that difficult to make, but they are difficult to spot sometimes and for sure they can ruin the game for some players, especially for those who base there economy on the market by buying low and selling high, with such a script no good offers can be obtained by the usual citizen

Prove that somebody is using a script. You can't.
Personally, i am sure they exist, i do not like them, but you can't do anything against them.
Also, it is not always scripts. I know of many military units that do this. Put 2 guys there who push the refresh over and over again, and replace them after 20 minutes. Not so hard to do with units of 100+ soldiers.
The iron study is useless by the way, no sane man puts out iron below market price, since you do not pay VAT, and can recover the money on the monetary without paying income tax. Somebody who does that really deserves it being taken away.
i used the iron as a simmilar test for scripts or for some citizent of waht you say that are constantly refreshing
as a counter for script for the marketplace, a good use can be a 5 second refresh, aka after you're first entry on that page, you cna refresh only every 5 seconds, this will give players an advantage and the script a disadvantage, cause a script can always refresh much faster than a player
also i got nothing agianst units that use manpower to scan the market, they are players, not scripts so i even encourage them to do that
clawy since i am a talking org i can afford to through garbage into your logic since it is not worth 2 pence. the guy said he has significant reasons to believe that some people are using scripts to collect underpriced products (would be smart to see if the script buys products priced o.02 or 0.03 apiece. i bet the programmers have just made it simple - only 0.01 would qualify for a good steal. but, hey, the "sellers" are also thieves: they steal from the tax people.) Maybe Dulau you have enough products to test this logic. 1 q1 gun for you if the scripts work in those cases too (cause i bet they are not).
if i were to make a script i would collect the raw as well, but i bet the script works only in guns, tickets and houses. i doubt somebody puts up for sale raw materials at anything below market price since there is no vat.
Am patit-o de o groaza de ori. Motiv pentru care incerc sa cumpar la un pret cat mai aproape de cel real. Chiar daca asta presupune sa am mereu resurse financiare la dispozitie strict pentru asta.
