Looks like NDC has implemented some type of security authentication for outside apps/connections

Think of the movie "Vegas Vacation"

When Clark went to the Hoover Dam .... NDC is Clark's gum and bots are the water seeping thru the cracks

NDC patching the holes and the bots just find another way



There is no end this will get exposed too

Not really true.  The bots that bypass captcha are using Nike's API's and these can be stopped with no work around.  The keys to the authenication would be shared with those who are provided access to the API and the others would be locked out.  Depending on the strength of their username/password combinations, and restrictions on the number of incorrect entries, it could be near impossible to brute force into it.

The issue with the javascript bots is another issue.  I'm not familiar with any fool proof way of stopping this, but there are definitely ways to detect javascripts running from user machines which I wont get into.

It comes down to if Nike is willing to spend the capital thats needed to stop this problem.  If they are, then it can be done.

Boom! More pairs, get rid of limited items, and the issue is gone.  Resellers wouldnt make money reselling, and the bot makers would lose the resellers and regular customers.

Come on you know its true.  Its a simple solution that they will never do but are you saying its wrong?  The only way to get rid of resellers is to make enough shoes that meet the damn demand.  This would get rid of bots and buying services, cause who the hell would use it if theres enough for everybody to eat?!
 
If there are not the occasional limited pairs there would be no hype and fewer people would care about the releases. And slowly their sales would go down because Adidas, etc. would then go that route. It is not as simple as everyone wants. Want another way to get all the shoes you want? Make more $$. That is a simple fix too. lol.

Na, Im not arguing this or their marketing strategy.  What you are saying is correct and I agree.

As a consumer I dont give two ***** about their balance sheet though.  I want the shoes I want without having to battle bots and other services.  There's a simple solution to this, as mentioned earlier, but like I said in my response, it will never happen
