    I'm unaware of what points or rep are or how they work on this forum... so if someone could explain it to me or tell me where to look so I can read about it myself, they would be a very cool person. It seems like there's a reward system relating to them and I might as well understand it and take part.
    Thanks in advance

    You get 1 point every time you post
    You get 0.1 rep each time you post ans 1 rep when someone gives you plus rep by pressing the plus below the satr hope this helps also if someone has alot of rep you will get 1.2 or 1.4 rep points from the user f they vote for you

    hey

    Hmmm... so rep is a feedback system. That's cool. Hopefully some people will be inspired to actually use it for me. Thanks (both of you) for the answer.

    And one more thing - rather than start a new thread about it, I have another question I'll ask here. Where are the rules on autobuying discussion? I looked in the forum rules but I couldn't find anything, yet I've seem moderators tell people not to discuss certain subjects..... I have a bunch of questions about ABs & spiderers and I want to know where I can ask

    you cannot ask what aber is better there is a thread in the debate
    The super is ok if you plan to use two accounts but that is now a nono so I say get the igloo then expons because his is updated for the new cookie that logs you out after 30 minutes. So get expons since if you ise two accounts like the blurp and super you will get frozen
    +rep if I helped you in my two posts

    hey

    What I really want to know is, the way I understand it an ABer refreshes a shop at certain intervals until it finds something.... so will the ABers' refreshing get you random events?

    Also, my ABer hasn't been working the same lately and by reading here for a day I realized why... the ABer had to log me in too, so I was always logged in twice when I was running it, once through the browser and once through the ABer. But now that you can only log in an account once, running the ABer logs out my browser or vice versa. I think I got that right :lol:
    So what I want to know is how can I work around this problem?

    Just log out of your account on your browsser then log on the autobuyer and every 30min restart the aber so you are still loged in and oly have one thing running at the same time
    And yes abing refresher gets you random evnets and for me lots of them

    hey

    Well see, what I used to do was refresh a shop manually every ten seconds with my ABer on and ready. Then when I hit a restock, I'd start the ABer, which takes me a tenth of a second or less... I almost always nailed every good thing in the shop (of course, I was doing the WRONG SHOPS because I'm new and hadn't found this board yet :( ). It worked great - never had to worry about getting iced and I could do it for four hours straight and not get RS banned, but I can't do it anymore because of the login/logout feature. So I'm wondering if there's an ABer out there that has a workaround that I could use to restock the way I used to.

    The ABer here has a little box which you can check in case you want to log back in when they log out...
    But it refreshes for you.

    hey

    Of course it could refresh for me, but I did it that way on purpose. 1) I can catch the restocks just fine refreshing manually, but I can't compete with programs to buy the good items. 2) If I let the super-fast ABER run for a good long time, I take a chance of getting RS banned if not iced. So I worked around both issues.

    Its pretty cool that the ABer here has a check box to log back in, but does it automatically let you know when its been logged out? Mine doesn't, that's the problem. I have to find out the hard way, when I start it up and it just isn't buying anything anymore.... which sucks when I'm staring at a Rainbow Negg on the screen that I really wanted.

    All of expons programs, like the igloo AB and main shop AB, etc. warn you when you've been logged out, but you have to be by your computer to log back it. They also have an option you can choose so it logs you back in everytime you're logged out.

    hey

    What about QUANTITY of items you get in an ABing binge? Do you think that matters? I mean, how many Morphing Potions can you nail in a single run before you get in trouble? Or do they strictly watch by how many refreshes over what period of time?

    I am wondering about that too... but to be honest I am not sure. I am fairly new to this whole illegal thing.

    I think a big part of it is luck, but if you get a couple items in a restock (especially if you're ABing at magic), then stop for a bit. And don't AB for too long. I guess it's partly personal preference how long/much you AB.
