I've been noticing it's becoming increasingly difficult to restock legitimately in magic. For example just now I over refreshed over a basic l.e. pet mp and didn't even get to the haggle page.
My page loads are .3s roughly and I was not late seeing as I was on a refreshing spree. (thats why i ref'd over it)

Just wondering if people still ab in there. I thought that was a high risk shop?

    I totally steer clear... to me, it's not worth the risk.

    I heard if you do successfully RS from magic... take time off and don't AB until things die down.

    Odds are you will eventually get frozen =p

    This could be due to the increase of popularity of ABers... Theres tons of them out there and people willing to take the risk =p

    If a program is Abing for them, no offense.. they will almost always be able to out buy you=p

    Theres a pinned thread in general chat called the super system, it's a good read about targeting other less popular shops

    So.. I'm new to this whole AB thing... Why is it that Magic poses a greater risk than any other shop? (Isn't everything monitored the same way?)

    Magic has less small-profit items, so MPs are the main targets. I'd imagine it's easier for TNT to notice/track high-end items than it is to track cheaper stuff.

    Also, Magic has probably twice as many legit RSers as any other shop, which doesn't help the competition.

    i mean i think in the end it's all the same. well not always, but in magic you might come up with say 2 1mil MPs in a day, but get frozen faster than if you make a steady say 3-500k a day in like food and toy shop or something.

    Personally, i tried magic and didn't like how fast I got frozen, and the reseller offers, yea ima sell you my 2mil MP for 250k, get the fuck outta here... I rather sell things thru my shop, it's easier for me to price stuff like 1-5k under shop wiz, it goes pretty quick and i feel safer about it.

    Reseller offer is what kills profit once you AB from the magic, I personally have been Abing from Magic for a straight week already. Profit is great but it also is even hard for the AB to buy things at a "human" speed with other AB in the same shop. I've had to change my settings numerous times but I do this on a side account. I even sell them on my side.

    yeah, the settings i've had to run to get anything in magic are unreal. but i mean i guess my internet can only go so fast, so tiny delays end up with buys from like 800ms up, which is still wayyyyyyyyyyyy too fast to be legit.

    you actually manage to buy stuff in magic over 4 seconds? or are you talking about the refresh rates

    General wait delay is 4.5-6.0 everything else is default

    I have gotten 4 MPs a day. but sometimes I get nothing like on weekends. During the week I grab the most

    It's not impossible to rs in magic legitimately.. I do very well in magic if I solo/refresh constantly, but honestly who has the time or even wants to spend their time staring at a screen refreshing constantly.

    Actually one of my best restocks in magic was after I already GH on the other mp that rsed. :p
    (purple draik mp :p)

    Oh well. I forgive you because of the Lady Gaga avatar.
    I think more people should AB strictly in Magic so they'll stay the hell out of the one shop I restock in.
