I've already told...This is just stretching it.<br /><br />I've already told the best (and only true way to do anything about this) answer to how to stop this: <br /><br />Don't have the bot make cards tradeable!!!<br /><br />Sort through them yourself everyday. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If you don't want to spend that time - then maybe owning a bot isn't for you.<br /><br />As far as this article - it's pretty silly advice. Most "cherry pickers" have MANY accounts. It's also much easier to make your cards untradeable until you review what you've bought, then it is to read through your trade logs and try to determine if someone is doing this or not.<br /><br />And MTGOtraders/Cardbot/Marlon recently caught heat and had very bad public relations issue to deal with because they were banning or charging "known" speculators more than a normal person. They had to publicly issue an aplogy and write lengthy responses on why they had the practice in place (basically saying that speculators - whom are similar to cherry pickers - are bad for the economy.) <br /><br />Most MTGO users view bot owners as the "parasites". Although, I see us as a way for people to trade cards with each other indirectly. WE are the middle man who gets paid for being that. :)Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611577681627505723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428060653021669656.post-43293398289399245352012-08-03T09:41:31.848-07:002012-08-03T09:41:31.848-07:00dealing with cherry pickers is part of running a b...dealing with cherry pickers is part of running a bot/business properly.x4dowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134963001169990432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428060653021669656.post-35954155552176307032012-08-03T05:05:59.200-07:002012-08-03T05:05:59.200-07:00If someone can't run a bot/business properly m...If someone can't run a bot/business properly maybe he or she shouldn't be doing it at all.vaultboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511592363821808005noreply@blogger.com
