That doesn't make sense, as when you're offline, you cannot interact with the game.

Automatization is not allowed, but there's some tools that might make it look like bots when really they are just humans with a few specialized helper functions (that can be completely within the rules) and hence are rather fast.

They are not humans at all, i also found the bot on the black market, :)) they are fullly automated bots :O i didnt believe it first time but i have proof,

I want to talk to a GGG employee on discord to proove it

Going through the proper support channel (email) would probably be a more reasonable approach.

Chinese/russian names, nonsense names, mechanical actions, responding only with trade invites to poe.trade whispers.
The mechanical actions one is the biggest tell - and that you can easily cheat them.

That's pretty much ~99% of the player base though.
Mechanical actions could be a big tell but it's still too vague of a description.

[Posivated]

This sounds like your average high tier poe player...

No, but currency bots make trading currency actually possible, so I prefer them.

Minimal interactions durring trades is normal. I often get wispers for trades when I am in the middle of a map but have no porblem taking a portal to my hideout, complete the trade and return to the map all in under 30 seconds. In this game, time is effectivly a currency that should not be wasted.

Then email them what you think you've found, and the proof, past that they don't discuss the matter with you.

Why would you, if selling, waste time responding to none trade channel whispers? I wouldn't even be monitoring other channels.

And minimal interaction? Of course - I'm trading, not socializing.

I replied to them many times with other offers, even tested the bots reaction with other items, they are literally automated trading bots
