Any news on what's being done about gil sellers, bots, and the economy?

Yesterday, I joined a dungeon, and the tank was a bot, it was quite obvious. He never spoke, simply ran attacking random mobs, tried to run through walls, and when he died he'd run to the exact same spot and then proceed to not tank again. We managed to do the dungeon with two DPS and a healer, while ignoring the bot. He just kept attacking random stuff, dying and attacking them again lol.

I have almost 180 blacklisted gil sellers now, I'm dreading when I hit the cap.

As for the economy, gatherers can't sell what they gather early on, because NPCs already sell it, so crafters can just sit at the NPC crafting all day, but they can't really sell anything they make, because, NPCs already sell it, and quests already give them.

There is practically nothing in the auction house on my server, except shards, and the gil seller bots have flooded the market with them. No one can compete with bots.

I sold plenty of my crafted stuffs...must be an anomaly then.
