I'm hoping this is in the right section, that it hasn't been posed before, and that I can gain some insight here from other members.
Let me preface this by saying that I have never done desktop based programming before in my life, though I have done a lot of web based programming (PHP, Javascript, Ajax etc..). Essentially, what I'd like to do is create a profile in similar vein to WoW Auto Auctions - Home and release it for free to the users here. The bot will essentially buy items at a certain price, store them, and sell them when the price is right. However, I'm running into a number of issues in my theory stage.
Issue #1:
We all know each server's economy is different, and each user is going to want to buy and sell different items. Am I correct in assuming that if I pass this profile on for others to use, they will essentially have to rewrite the entire profile to accommodate their needs? If there an easier way to do this (a CSV file?).
Issue #2:
Space. Most of the items that are bought will have to be stored temporarily (until the market price for said item(s) reach a set price where they can be sold for a profit. Even with bank and gbank support the auction character will inevitably run out of space. The only solution I can fathom is having the bot simply act as a buying bot, buying items when they are low and mailing them off to another character to be sold manually or used in conjunction with eAuction if the user has more than one account.
Any thoughts?
