Posted this in MD, however I feel this needs some serious attention so I am double posting this here in general.

Isogen, right now.

You go to buy the top listed quantity of 23809 for 79.48.

Order stays there no matter how repeatedly you buy it. Alicsiaa is the character that now forms a wall in my wallet journal.

I got a guy lately buying 300 missiles of each I have for sale and did it a couple of times, thing is that I have for about 1B units or over this for sale, how many times will he have to buy 300 or 3000 missiles of eatch to figure my char is not a bot? Roll

Have you cleared your cache, reboot your game and notice any change at all? -can you be sure the guy is not just using trading skills? Lol

You wouldn't expect it.....

Oh and please, do tell us, exactly what skill allows you to INSTANTLY keep your order for the EXACT SAME AMOUNT both in volume and in price at the top of the list.

Because right now, you just come across as a prime suspect.

Yeah these guys are annoying. Seen a few here and there. Report it and hope for the best.

There are multiple orders at the same price. Your market interface lists the smaller order on top. This is not the order you are buying from. You always buy from the oldest order. There is no major exploit. You can buy that oldest order in one go if you want.

Post an image of the market...

That said - I've seen this before as well. Report as bot. Info -> upper left menu -> Report Bot

Buying from the top QUANTITY does not actually come from that order if it isn't the bottom PRICE. You are merely repeatedly buying someone else's order, as explained in the MD thread

Not understanding how the market works doesn't make the other dude a bot. What?

You doubleposted this issue in GD as well, so I will repeat my reply.

No kidding. The OP should've done some research and looked for a rational explanation before throwing accusations around. Posting this drivel twice makes him look like a massive idiot.
