Have to different wait/haggle times OCR times based on how much profit you'll make so say you'll make 500k off one item it waits this long if you'll make 1mil of this it waits this time ETC.

And this would help - how?

OP wants buy times to depend on the item's profit apparently

To make it look more human, I assume? No point. Like TNT will notice a change of this magnitude.

but dont faster buy times = higher profits generally? seems kinda pointless to me

The thing is, while (legitimately) restocking your internet won't just randomly speed up when there's a higher profit item

^This

if anything changing buy times would make it look even more suspicious.

Yes, but what if you have the profit drive? You know, that rush of excitement when you see an Iron Skeith or Krawk MP.

unnecessary paranoia

I start getting jittery when I'm excited, so I'd actually slow down.

I'd probably stop buying for a bit to bask in the glory of my amazingness... but isn't there already a feature (or soon to be) that pauses after big buys?

There is, it's found in the "Humanize" tab in settings
(Rest for _ minutes after buying item over _ profit)

[Neoquest]

The only way I could see this being useful is if I was trying to keep a low profile and not get items over a certain profit.

say a Draik restocks it'd wait .1 second

say something blue lutari restocks it'll wait .3


based on profit it sets the wait time


and what i'm saying is like just set different wait times based on how much profit it'll be

Yes. Everyone... well, most people here can read.
That doesn't change the fact that no one can see any benefit at all to your proposal (except Neoquest, who raises an interesting, if tangential, point).

why not add a max profit feature then?

It could be used for people who don't do it legit, ect. it could benefit a lot. If a draik stocks you'd want to get it faster than a blue normal mp it could make for getting the better MP faster? I see that being very beneficial

Did you read any of the other posts? o3o

But why not just speed up all your times? Consistency is generally a better plan for avoiding a freeze than anything else.

All that will do is get you frozen faster. Its been proven that TNT watches high profit items much closer then they do other items (Hence why Battle Magic is known as the highest risk shop). all this feature would do is make you get frozen faster....

that feeling is usually followed in my case by complete and utter disappointment ...

i've been playing neopets for some years now and i still haven't been able not once to buy from kauvana a morphing potion...or from the clothing shop anything rare ...I always had to buy them from trading post or auction for huge overprices ....I can't wait to gain access to Ambrosia or the other perks of advanced member so I can afford nice stuff more easily....and not wait months to earn the neopints to buy them.
