I voted yes because the only thing I didn't like about using AC Trade was how it would close the window on people. Not that closing the window is bad. But, AC Trade did it too soon and on too many customers. I'm sure I lost some sales because of it.

Whatever it does about closing the window make it be 10 mins instead of 5 mins or even better make it a user defined setting.

C works for me. I actually found the emotes annyoing at times. Bots don't need to be holding a big ole pumpkin in the face of another bot to be noticed. Frankly, I wouldnt trade with these "rude" bots anyway.

C

Even when Nordic was running 24/7, I never messed with Emotes. IMO, they are just a pointless waste of time. My bot is there to sell stuff, not try to out dance a drudge.

Otherwise Option C is really just fine, as I never use emotes on my tradebot anyway.
That's not even on my list of important features.

If C was not availible, I would only use the tradebot that could not close the trade window unless there was no other option.

Make it a toggle option, with the default being the most popular vote result?

It'd be simple to add a scalable timer for the combat-close, and those that don't want the window to close could use a 60+ minute timer. Most (if not all) of the emoting that went on was part of the 3 minute public spam ads, or even part of the welcome message. Only some of the emotes can't be broken (ie, no window closing) by entering/exiting combat.

Please everyone happy .

At least one of the authors (Tradebot I think, probably even ACTrade) appeared to close the window using a mouse movement script. I remember many situations when it'd remain open if I was typing in the chat window, and whenever there'd be a trade, it'd leave a ghost outline on the trade button of the mouse cursor (same happening when it'd autoclose the trade window).

Gol, I'm curious about the possibility of adding in a consignment option. For people who don't or can't run a bot.

30 days left for a poll about a bot? if you wanna make a trade bot ..do it and quit teasing us. this is the second month you have strung us along and from the looks of the poll it will be another month.

would prefer option D, ask Devs to add hook for it but C if nothing else. My bot never did emotes so it dont matter, but the option of going into combat and back into peace wories me cause if ya lag or something odd happensa as they usually do in marketplace, you are gonna have bots in combat mode not being able to trade with.....
try adding a mouse action to close window, same as you would use the mouse to click trade, after completing a trade, just modify it to close window instead on a user or a predetermined time.

just my 2 cents...

Davian

Dude, I'm working on it as fast as I can. I have a full time job and family to attend to (not counting other commitments), and they come first. I wouldn't have gotten to this part if I wasn't already testing the "DeclineTrade" API that I thought closed the window. All it does is unaccept the trade. I'm getting closer, but you'll just have to be patient.

And no, I refuse to use the mouse to close the trade window. It's flakey and doesn't work alt-tabbed without a whole mess of code I'm not going to bother with.

Bitching about someone taking to long to make something that will be helpful for you is just retarded.

I went with C since it seems to be the best option available.

I actually like Option C for another reason as well... It's a visual way of knowing if someone else has finished with the bot!

Everybody send Hazridi a big thank you for adding a new hook to close the trade window! I already had this working, but as soon as a new alpha comes out I can pull out the combat mode toggling!
