Please stop the BT loophole.
For some time now, BT have been massively scripted due to captains not having any spawn around them.All the BT items have been dropped by 50-75% in price.
BT CC, luck 140 robes can now be acquired for around 14mill on atl.
When the shrine event stops, or the loophole will be closed, the damage impact is huge.
No one will farm in BT, due to devalued items, same goes for peerlesses where the only reward more or less is the hair dyers.
So please dear DEVS, stop this madness.

Seriously.
Maybe players are taking that to Blackthorns. They put anti afk coding in a long time ago.
If these are just appearing they are from players doing what Lord Bytor said.
The items in that search are ugly anyway. Like I said where are the Luck Epaulets for 18M?
You noticed the price drop and bought a bunch and now you want to sell them for more so you are asking the developers to "fix" your issue?
Its more believable the market is flooded with store items for gold than farmed.
Epaulettes with luck are 20M and up. 10 bucks divided between all the things you got from the EJ pack makes 20M and lower a logical price.
Fel captains are still yellow with surrounding spawn.
Did one captain by myself early this morning and only got one drop? No one else was there. Not complaining at all, but if you solo it maybe you only get one?
Later on I went back and there was a handful of people and sometimes I got one drop, sometimes two or three.
There are still many deaths involved indeed! But now it is not impossible, just good ole exciting fun and challenging!
This is a great change and I hope it stays for awhile!
Feels great to earn your prize instead of having to buy it!

Make this your signature if you are tired of Vendor Search being broken, over FIVE YEARS and counting.
Vendor search rendered useless after Publish 106 – Forsaken Foes on August 14, 2019.
before a captain held 1-3 artifacts. total.
now you get 1-3 for each character attacking.
so before someone botting 10 accounts would still get max 3 items per captain.
now that same captain produces up to 30 items from that same single kill.
play 100 characters, up to 300 items per kill.
so none of the bot farmers bothered using many account to farm before the change. price was already driven to basically nothing by afking the lesser spawn.
the price is down simply because the number of items produced by captains was increased massively. basically, the captains werent worth bot farming before. now they are.
Sounds good!
Maybe just maybe it's actual players, people who have never done blackthorns captains prior getting groups together and going down there nightly to get items.
Maybe the prices will drop to the point it's not to the botters benefit to even bother.
As the price tanks, it just means it's more accessible to more people and people can actually earn their own now as opposed to buying them. The artifacts, when grouped, did not distribute evenly among group members before and not many specs/people could solo them.
Maybe this was an intentional change by the devs and working as intended.
Grouping being encouraged instead of discouraged. You cannot continue to punish average players because of bots.
People get upset when their income streams are disrupted, I say any change that helps level the playing field between players is a good change.
And why do I think so ?
Because this helps out New and Returning players who can then AFFORD to purchase the items that they need to be competitive....
The more the Developers' changes to Ultima Online bring prices of items down, THE BETTER to my opinion.
Have also seen people sic their pet on a captain and hide then go get a sandwich or something and expect people to heal the pet.
They get figured out quick but it really burns me when people do these things.
