Suggestions: Quality of Life Stuff and other suggestions

all i know is this person im referring to, must use an outside program, or bot of some sort because he changed over 100 items in goldsmithing every 6 hours. either this person is superman, or he has other people working with him on a daily basis and they must be getting paid somehow to continue to do this. the outside effect though is it destroys the market. all the tears are 3,500,000 and the ites are the same price, hepatizon ingots are from 10k to 300k, every couple hours fluctuating. u have to have an endless supply of gil to even attempt to buy and resell all these items, and cover up the market prices, or work for SE.

So it appears that someone is setting the AH prices by selling to self or colluding with others? I don't remember if this is actually against TOS, but think it might be covered as a prohibited activity, so maybe try making a GM report? Take screenshots of the offending AH entries as backup evidence just in case they ask for 'em. But if you are saying that a single seller is controlling the price for all of the servers sales but other players are buying, well... that's free market mechanics at work. XD

EDIT: Just a quick look thru ffxiah shows that the history on single Ifritear, Shivatear, Titatear, Leviatear, Garutear, and Ramutar are all suspiciously similar with the same list of sellers and same list of buyers, all of the names involved also appear to be related (French maybe?) plus are all 5x-10x more expensive than the nearest server's median price. So in this case at least, I'd say it's definitely worth the time to file an official complaint.

BTW, I'm not objecting to the enforcement of the rules or saying that this issue never happens. ^^;; I wholeheartedly object to the idea/suggestion that doing so should be handled automatically by a part of the program. Enforcement of non-hacking rule violations should always be directly handled by an actual person and not a machine to avoid innocents from being wrongfully punished.

Setting the prices by selling to yourself via the means of secondary characters, etc is very much against the ToS

I figured as much, but really not in the mood to go digging thru the TOS for the chapter/verse so to speak. ^^;;
Though really, when is anyone really in the mood to read legalese? XD

Heres the thing, all those people ARE the same person, he has like 14 plus mules somehow. also he changes them out back and forth but everyday for 8 years the same thing. also he has been reported by several people esp me 8x, the SE people wont do a darn thing about it because they say its legal and hes a paying customer.

is there anyway to get more slots in the delivery box, like maybe 10-15 more. i know that sounds like a rediculous amount, but having 4 main crafts i transfer alot of stuff back and forth, and its very time consuming, especially making voodoo.

what if we got 1 copper voucher per char every day like login pts, and during campaigns we could get like 3. does that sound reasonable?

since there is a limit to chocobo digging. i feel that we should be able to dig up more higher levels of bayld, alexandrite, plutons, pluton cases, beitetsu, rift boulders, heavy metal pouches, maybe keep most of these rare, but still obtainable, and sparkling stones, and other useful items, the stuff you dig right now,, after leveling to a10 digging is bull. it took 3 years of my life to get to a10 8 years ago, and it used to be useful until the cap was put on it. im just throwing out suggestions of stuff I would like to see, if anyone else has other ideas add them to this please.

there should be a warp from the mog garden to the npc that sells upgrades in town. or books as you have it.
