Sadly the fight log is gone, but in spite of the 21 second total gap (the longest it has taken for me to be successfully mobbed to death post-sale, actually), I take (and remember I took in this instance) a while to defeat typically, given the circumstances, being a heavily lopsided dex whore in Vanguard with Tyrosine and Tactical Illuminator.

Edit note: while looking for a screenshot of the fight log in a Discord conversation (which I did not find), I did see I lamented that I had melatonin on rather than tyrosine in that fight. I do still remember having lasted an impressive duration for the onslaught of 3 people, and it was probably accentuated by that sub-optimal fact. 

Frankly have no idea how Defectus has always received a free pass where others were or would have been fedded, including (way back now) his obscenely lengthy and profound abuse of an exploit to fake being offline in order to bait purchases on stacks of 3 or 4 overpriced (like 475M) SEs, day in and out, only to bank on muggers who expected normal game mechanics, and now these mugs where he was in the same loaders repeatedly as everybody else who was fedded. If someone told me he was blackmailing bogie, I would believe it.

20:22:03 - 01/10/25 You sold a pair of Metal Nunchaku (Frenzy) on the item market to Shotymee_ at $790,000,000 each for a total of $750,500,000 after $39,500,000 in fees

seeing players posting about getting mugged by websocket mug bot users was not on my bucket list of 2026.Hopefully this will help staff with their investigation and  to punish those who break the rules.

Only 1 on my log not fedded, he quit TNL and join new faction, i think staff is ok with him , but 2 other in same fight was fed. 

Note for staff, did you try monitor the Auction house? . i think 1/10 mug on that page from websocket mugger, with simple tempermonkey script can detect fail bid. 

I can still name a lot of them who is still not fedded , the issue is I have way too many, last is this and a buymug steal from skjold which I posted in another thread. I might post more of these when I am on my PC

No idea if it was using a script or not but posting because of the swift time between selling and mugging.

Can we get a websock or something to collect them for us? Manually clicking buttons seems hard for most these days. I need a brainsock to plug into the web sock.

This is the one that stands out the most to me:

07:59:03 - 08/10/25 You used a Small First Aid Kit recovering 450 life and reducing hospital time by 0h 04m

07:59:04 - 08/10/25 You sold 3x Armor Cache on your bazaar to SirJux at $319,000,000 each for a total of $957,000,000

07:59:05 - 08/10/25 You sold 4x Small Arms Cache on your bazaar to SirJux at $124,000,000 each for a total of $496,000,000

07:59:09 - 08/10/25 SirJux mugged you for $118,128,900 sending you to the hospital for 0h 31m [view]

In essence, I left hospital, had 2 lots of caches bought, and then got mugged within 6 seconds. My own game had barely realised that I had left hospital, just giving me time to remove the items I had for sale in my item market. But this twat somehow registered my random medding out, bought the stuff and mugged me in the same time? Suspicious af.

We're talking script mugs here though, not buy mugs. 

Our goventment has bot detectors on their sites.

Trick is you mimic human behavior.

You're saying this isn't a script mug?

No it isn't, the buyer and the mugger is the same person.
