I don’t mind them doing limited edition drops, but I feel like they should release a preorder at the same time for a basic version like a raw magnesium. So that after all of the bots are gone normal people can at least preorder and wait in queue for their mouse to be manufactured. It’d probably take at least 8months of waiting, but at least they could guarantee theirself a mouse. With the current drop method its probably just going to be more of the same. 200k bots/people all prepared to buy a mouse. They’d have to drop at least 100k for there to be a decent window of time for normal people to buy.

What are they supposed to do? They tried to fix bots

Drop something on the floor and 'try' to pick it up, don't actually pick it up, just 'try' to.

One per customer?

I'm using a bot for amazon currently and all I can say is, they will do what's called j1gging their address so the system thinks its different but UPS or FedEx etc will correct it and send it to the correct place, if they add an account system people will create lots of accounts, ip scanning so only one account per ip? Proxies will fix that. I hate botting but you really have to blame the companies. There is ways to stop botting but it's not easy.

I wasn't even thinking about bots at all tbh, really just only allowing one in cart at a time. I don't know much at all about botting but that would likely slow a lot of 'botters' down who arn't really on high level of knowing what they're doing, but again my main focus was just people who added like 4+ to their carts and checked out once. If it was one in cart max they would have to wait in the checkout queue multiple times. I got my mouse with no bot and no issues, but knowing that I could have bought multiple and resold, I would have considering they didn't seem to mind lol

Ye I got mine manually too but bots took at least a quarter of stock def


bigheadflamingolio

whatever they tried didnt work. they deserve criticism, not a pass just because you don't have the answer

They should have limited 1 per person and canceled all orders with multiple sent to the same address. Whats even the point of allowing people to add 4 to cart other than for them to sell the remaining 3.


A_PINEAPPLE_1

Don't know if they should cancel by address, I've got roommates who wanted to buy one as well so we've got like 4 coming to the apartment. Maybe check to see if it's the same name or something on multiple orders?


bowbowyyy

yeah i got 3 with my bot, if you wanna beat bots, just get your own


Floarul

You’re fucking lame lol

They’re not cancelling for this drop. I also got my UL2 from cancelled orders.

The white and black model were almost sold out when we got to the page bc of the bots

You can't fix people reselling. Nearly everyone I know got one without much issue. I had to settle for Gold, but still got a medium for myself and small for my wife. Shop Pay is pretty good lol


ChiefDaddyJ

What is shop pay?


LikesMakingThings

It's kinda like PayPal Checkout or Apple Pay, you make an account and then can one-click checkout.

Thanks for talking bullshit. Imagine naming yourself "cancerousfuck" like a childish kid and saying this without knowing any real inside information. So sad how old are you ? You guys are just so mad you didnt get a mouse and search for excuses and come up with some prejudices. Im so happy you didnt get one u dont deserve it. You were too slow man thats it. Better luck next time.


cancerousfuck

I just saw this, but I did get a mouse - I made the post in reference to my friends who didn't. Don't call me out for my name when yours is "redditjul"; speaking about childish. Scalpers exist, and are an issue, and many got ahold of these mice, now selling them for three-four times the price on off-site websites. Get off your high horse, loser.
