Nerfing sparks and unity enchanges for gil is not the answer.

[Jerbob]

I was about to disagree with you - nerfing sparks does seem to fix the immediate issue - but...

You are also encouraging the RMT to farm gil in other ways that are more annoying to the players, you aren't stopping RMT because the demand is still there.

They will now move to farming revies or currency in dynamis or whatever...this sucks, at least when they were farming sparks they did it out of the way of most others.

I'm worried that you're right. There are already scumbots in Dynamis - Jeuno almost every time I go there - these are just going to get worse. And while I don't think that bots being out of sight and unobtrusive makes them acceptable, this change has the potential to make them more directly disruptive, on top of allowing them to continue damaging the economy.

I applaud SE for publicly acknowledging the problems caused by these bots, but I'm not convinced that this is the right action. We need more boots on the ground, and we need more active and immediate action from the STF.

Having an easier way to report this scum would help too. I'm willing to use the STF report page sometimes, but even I can't be bothered when I'm busy, and I complain about them constantly. Most people aren't going to use it at all.
