Bots driving the prices DOWN.

[AccountBanned]

Last night I was looking at the market board for ideas of what to farm when I noticed that a couple people that I've previously reported as bots were selling 6-10 lots of 99 stacks of a certain item at insanely low prices compared to what they had sold for only a week ago.

I guess this is a rant but I wish something would be done about these bots before the economy is even worse.

They are working on it.
The best thing you can do is just report as much as you can.
Details help. Keep in mind, a while ago, they already confiscated 382 million gil or something.
I know that doesn't sound like much, but its a good start.

I honestly don't know if its bots or just... people that want to watch the world burn at this point. I was making a bit farming cobalt ore, I even tried to buy up from some undercutters and flip it, but now, its gone from 90 gil an ore to around 20. kommunitie, y u du dis.

Yes, watching the world burn.

More cobalt out there less its worth. simple economics.

Yeah. I suspect the gathering xp buff is what is causing sudden the explosion in the lvl 50 mining population. Sucks though, now there is really 0 point to farm stuff to sell, its worth more now to just sit on it for crafting /sigh

So webs, and wool are being slammed down in prices? Good news for me.

As I said before - Good. On legacy servers aside the usual LEGIT players purposefully crashing markets by undercutting up to 80%, they're normalizing the prices on items set by LEGIT players that were waaaay too overpriced. While it does suck at times (I'm a crafter and gatherer as well so don't even try to give me the "if you actually did..." schtick) it's honestly starting to get to more reasonable prices on some stuff, especially materials.

Sadly there's little reason to lvl miner or botanist as long as RMT are driving down prices

I despise people 'flipping the AH' and driving up prices, good luck to anyone who makes that impossible. I wish stiff bought on the AH wasn't relistable.
