Or maybe a little attention while buying could go a long way. I think the pop-up GGG added warning that the purchase price is different than what was in the listing is a good middle ground to address this. Is that not helping you?
This.
So this topic is basically summed up as: People with crippling ADHD that can't take the time to double check every Ctrl Click want to punish other people with crippling ADHD that might repeatedly misprice items on accident.
It's like two cats flailing at each other.

Landmining while a fun name to use is, by GGG's deployment of the trading feature, NOT a use violation. Simply put, a seller may place whatever price they wish for their items .. even if same items are placed for different prices. It is on the most simplistic view, an open free market.
You, as the buyer, are at fault for not paying attention to the price being charged for the item you wish to purchase from the seller. As any buyer can see the price for the item by simply hovering over it, assuming all copies of a same item, such as maps, have the same price and just clicking away buying them is entirely the buyers fault.
GGG does not, and should not, regulate prices on items. Banning sellers for the prices they charge, even when it differs on listings of same items, is asking GGG to establish prices and enforce those prices.
Demanding a ban on "Landminers" because they charged a price other than what you consider to be the "normal" price for the item and you bought the item, is just you being a lazy buyer that was too busy (lazy) to pay attention.

You know, it's really funny, lol...
I can sit here on the forums and spam "one-shots are broken and looting is miserable" all I want, and get eternal pushback, saying "GET GOOD LOL SKILL ISSUE!"
But then everyone's buying items without paying attention to the price, and now suddenly they want GGG to "cater to them," and my stance is to just pay attention and "get good".
It's funny to me.
I laugh.

Someone's obviously never tried to buy bulk nightmare maps, it's a real pita when there's always 5 other people in the hideout grabbing them at the same time. This is why landmining works
Of course you can mostly avoid it with a simple regex like !divine but not everyone knows that

I've spam-bought other things. I stopped to pay attention on each click.

Nice false equivalence, you can afford to take your time when there's no one else buying from the same tab.

Love the single supporter title. Not a big fan of 56 supporter badges turning a single sentence post into a two minute scroll.:D
GGG - Why you no?

As some one with crippling adhd i just want it to be known i'm not for this, but as a dog owner, i like cats.
P.S. to avoid getting landmined when bulk buying, i've filtered by price to a point where other's aren't buying yet. I think of it like insurance: pay 2% more, avoid the rush, avoid the land mines. I prefer that to the stress and time waste of trying to buy bulk bubble gum at lowest possible price. I actually think this saves me money when you factor the 2div per 5mins opportunity cost.

You know what this sounds like?
Sounds like a skill issue. And I know how much you guys love skill issues around here.
Sounds like other people are both quicker than you AND more careful than you. Or richer than you and can afford the land mines. Skill issue either way you look at it.
I thought you guys love arbitrary skill checks in this game?!? You defend bullet hell boss mechanics, you defend lingering effects after death that stop you from looting, you defend tedious loot clicking, you defend overtuned enemy damage, you fought against having an auction house for a decade. What's wrong with another little bit of spice?!? I thought you guys LIVED for this!!!
Or is it different now that it affects you? Oh, sure, you don't mind lazy game design that expects you to wiki and YT to learn since the game doesn't teach you, because you already know the information. Oh, but now that something affects you, now it's a problem!

If enough people reporting the same players for landmine, that player will get banned.
No way this could ever be abused, like absolutely impossible lol.
Like sure landminers are assholes but the responsibility is on the buyer. It's like not reading a contract irl, except this is like a number and a symbol and not 20 pages of technical small print.
Everyone seems to just love trying to make other people accountable for their own actions.
The BIG issue thought is the pop up thing, that's what GGG do need to fix; either have a pop up that always works, or don't have any pop up, that's the only real ggg related issue here.
I can happen but GGG will review the report case by case, because the reports can / will be used irresponsibly just because some pitty things.
Asserting what I said before, someone stepping into a landmine within a system that is 100% scam-proof, is his/her own fault. However, we shouldn't incentivize / nurture this kind of practice or the game will be worse.
