Some simple steps could be taken though. For example, to stop all the auto restockers in the main shops, they could change those "click the blumaroo" images around a bit. They could add more neopets to the image, for example, to fix the issue for a while. Even a captcha would work. I don't care if it would take longer to restock - it would take longer for everyone. Then there's all those people autosending impossible scores for games. They could just monitor certain games like Meerca Chase and Maths Nightmare, and freeze the hell out of everyone who sent an impossible score.

I'm not talking about score caps (that's what review scores are for), but actual impossible scores. Some games have an actual max score that is impossible to go above. And for other games, the scoring works a certain way that every score has to be divisible by a certain number. That's how you can easily catch careless cheaters.

Looks like all of these 'fast pricing' shops may be using the NeoCodex NeonAP Shop Auto Pricer. Wonder what they use as the purchasing agent. Portal was mentioned in one of the threads too *lol* 'Not to advertise other programs here, but the NeoMallers portal has a way to add up the total value of your shop by pasting your shop front into the program.' Edit: Aha, probably 'Soul Stealers' Program Manager, as it comes with a User Shops Auto-Buyer and Auction Sniper. I know the Auto Pricer earlier has support for 'items with the same name, such as maps', this AB likely does as well. I'd love to get my hands on the source code for their programs just to analyze program behavior (though there are MANY user set options, many things would still be 'set in stone'), but I'm sure they don't post it, and if they did, I'd rather not even make an account there *lol*

Yea they could be the same person. And they could be using auto pricer. But unless TNT has evidence it will be hard to nail them. And lol why title must put Singapore shops... And is it true that some Americans think that Singapore is part of China??
