Bidding bots ... Nordeus ? if true this is DISGRACEFUL

[Marc Symons]

Do you know how silly you all sound. If Nordeus used 'bots' and we're caught doing so, the Office of fair trading could/would take them to the cleaners and it wouldn't be worth Nordeus's while for the sake of virtual currency. I know Nordeus are far from perfect but I can't help but think it is simply peoples way of venting when they miss out on a player after spending a lot of tokens trying to win that player. I had a theory about Nordeus's staff bidding with free tokens but it was a theory and I was simply putting it out there as if to say "could they even be done for this?" Bots on the other hand is a different kettle of fish. Nordeus would have to actually program a Bot to bid against people and as I say I believe they wouldn't do that when there already the biggest online football simulation game in the world. It makes no sense.

There is no such thing as bidding bots in the game. If a user bidding is labelled as anonymous or something similar, they are mobile users who haven't connected their teams to Facebook (so they have no Facebook profile to display).

In case people don't read back over this whole thread I should say that my original question was answered.

So now we all know for sure bidding bots do not exist.

But do I feel silly for asking the question? no

Here's the thing ... why would someone even bother to make a bidding bot? A lot of effort for no real gain.

Your posting because you got outbid a lot, I get outbid a lot. So if we meet what's going to happen?

Hmmm, according to those posts, someone (nordeus) would create a bidding bot to make you waste tokens...the same thing that they do with the tons of injuries, morale going down constantly, bad ratings causing people to sell players, scout donkeys, scheduling games 15 mins apart...all these things are programmed to make you spend your precious tokens.

I get that they need to make money, but can they do it honestly by building a game that is more realistica and fair? money milking tactics like another poster said.

So in answer to your question: why wouldnt they make bidding bots? Seems like they do everything else to cheat you out of your tokens, why not create something that gets them even faster? 33yo GK creating a bidding war? I am sure there are many older GK around and one has to waste his tokens with a crap team. it doesnt seem logical to enter the bid knowing you can have another older GK that nobody usually wants. Things just look fishy when things like that happen

Can you tell us how they would be caught? Office of fair trading? Seriously? Is that what it is called in Serbia? Pull the other one.

It doesnt have to be bidding bots, but like the other poster said, just an employee or someone hired to create bidding wars to waste tokens. They give out hundreds or thousands of free tokens every week, why cant they give them to friends and get them to bid on players?

ok now I've seen a bot bidder in my server. His team is nearly all 5 star- players with SA, but he's kept bidding on players with SA from day 1 every season. At first, I thought this guy must have a ton of tokens and I'd just avoid him, but then I realized something was wrong. He was bidding on many players even his team was full. It's happened many times already, and today again ... Poor the manager that lost 27 tokens to him without even winning the player.

he change his 5* low end ex Q51 Q52 to 5* high end Q53-Q54. he is still don't want to sell if he don't get a new player. i did the same thing when i was in lev 2-3

I think you'll find that's what i said, and i am right. If i genuinely thought Nordeus were using bots to steal my tokens/money I would report them the the office of fair trading and they would investigate. So i think you'll find im spot on!!

Some MOD please lock this stupid thread as its getting boring now.

MOD dont lock this thread on the advice of someone with no authority as this thread is just getting warmed up.
MArc Sympons, you have no idea what this office of fair trading is and if its not a Serbian office, then it would have no authority to do anything. Even the BBB in North america is toothless, and you think some small online game company is going to get slapped for scamming people out of tokens by some mythological fair trading police? THAT makes me laugh. Thank you for my laugh of the day. looking forward for your next attempt at humor.

and for the record, we are talking about bots AND employees/paid acquanitances that woudl be bumping up the bidding, not just bots, because as mdkii said, there are no bots, and that might be true.

I love how you say you are right without any proof of anything. the people have thoughts and theories but you have proof that your are right = priceless.

can you please give me the phone number for this office of fair trade and let me know where their authority starts and ends so I can check on this too? or should i look in the area 51 books, next to the unicorn and leprechaun books?

If it's boring, quit reading and replying to iy.

I didnt read what was said in this thread apart of MDKII speech.
What i can say is: If Nordeus can set friendlies with real accounts when a new user joins the game they can also use real accounts to bid. I saw many suspicious bidders.... one had all oop all 33-34 y players and the team was created 1 year before. After 1 year that team was still in lvl1...

So your theory is that Nordeus pay people to bid against users spending tokens. Which is supposed to achieve what, exactly?
