Good afternoon. I've encountered a problem. I've leveled up my tanner's craft to earn gold at the auction. I've been skinning animals and crafting items for level 78 characters. However, I've noticed that my items are not being purchased, and the price is quickly outbid. This has been happening for a day, two days, and a month. I've started to investigate who is doing this, hoping that if the character is not online, I can put my items up for auction and sell them. However, the problem lies in the fact that this character is online almost 24/7. I decided to find him in Azeroth and see if there was a bot there. As I got closer, I noticed a group of characters at a single point in Stormwind, near the entrance to the auction house. These characters were constantly online, but they didn't move. My question is, could the player be using additional software for the auction and making money from it? Please check for honesty. If my theory is confirmed, please take action against dishonest players. The message was translated using Google Translate. Sorry for any errors.

You mean you are being undercut. It's unlikely these people are botting. I have to say though that some day I buy hundreds of stacks of leather, and I assume other players do so - if your auctions aren't selling, you are setting your prices way too high.
mean, there's one person who sits there and bids every 2 minutes. 24/7. I suspect that the person is away from the computer and the bot is doing it for them. I set the lowest bid through an addon, but it's outbid after 5 minutes. And it happens every day, with the same character bidding without breaks or days off. One character is for leather, another for fabric, and a third for plate armor. It's not realistic for an ordinary person to sit in front of a computer 24/7
often when you list stuff for cheap it will be bought almost instant;y, i noticed this when mis-pricing by stack rather than item, assumed it was bots, gold has extra value here because of the trade market so it figures stuff like this will happen, but at the end of the day it is a free market, undercut their prices and yours will sell, i usually sell on ah slightly under the lowest prices i can find and stuff will always sell.
