brazen is gear across a data center, all crafted by one person, being sold under retainers with the name of the world, then roman numerals etc as a variation across teh ENTIRE data center.Quote:

Does Square intend to address Market botting?

I am probably unsubbing when the new exp launches. I can't see anything changing at all. Bots will level up and take over again after a few weeks. Frustrations will continue to dominate. Two years from now we would probably still be here complaining about SE not doing anything. Pretty sad, no? I have enough fun things I can do in my free time. Why use that precious time for something frustrating.Quote:

actually, I am hoping the the WoW streamers/refugees that they are welcoming with open arms start commenting on the bot situation
might be interesting to see what their reaction is to widespread bad publicity regarding their inaction on bots -
06-26-2021, 06:19 PMPrrringlesMost new players won't notice any bots on the MB. Maybe the farm bots that teleport if anything at all. Streams also don't craft 24/7 because no one wants to see that. I would not expect much from those players.Quote:

On Ultros we recently were blessed with a few weeks of the local bot being gone. Hopefully banned from all the reporting we did. Sadly, a new bot has take their place. 24.7 in their apartment, and the low 20's FC members logging in to run from the FC chest to summoning bell to undercut everyone by 1 gil. The main crafter was Samito Moshantu, thank god they are gone. Now we have Yozakura Byregot and their FC of 9 people...I was wondering why my gear wasnt selling, now i know why! I sent 2 complaints about cheating already, im sure ill send more or maybe just stop playing altogether.

They just posted a new "action against" post a bit ago.. looking at the number that was banned due to botting... not the RTM bots.. just general botting like market board and crafting bots.. 1 person was banned..
So the answer is no.. theyre not doing anything about player botting when it comes to crafting and market board manipulation.. -

They are doing things, it's just not sufficient to keep on top of the problem. We see the occasional reports in this thread about the suspected bots who have disappeared.
Also, you don't need to bot to engage in marketboard manipulation. You just need to do a little advance planning and preparation. -

So the lesson here is dont assume everyone is a bot. There are people who do just play the markets.
