Anyone notice botting DoL has gotten exponentially worse recently?

You can't flip shards when one guy using a teleport hack is literally farming 20-30,000 shards a day (something is wrong when the demand of a whole server is being met by one or two guys).

Like hell you can't bought 10000 lightning shards at 14 each, flipped 1000 of them for 45 each. Still going back up. Gotta watch the market. As the mass sellers sell out prices rise, then they flood the market and prices drop. Don't fight the system, work the system. Botters will NEVER!!!!! be gone. Use it to your advantage.

I won't sell them all since I use about 500 every day but as I want an extra 40,50,60k I'll dump them on the market when pricing goes back up.

Again I'll reiterate why this doesn't work. The botters are are limited in sales by the number of buyers on the market, not the number of shards they own. They can literally mine faster than they can sell using hacks. This is precisely why they're selling them for 1/3 the market prices of the next closest sellers. If I bought out all 30,000 they have for sale that day, they would immediately be able to repost another 30,000. And while I could probably make a couple of thousand gil just buying one stack of 3,000 at 10 gil and selling them in stacks of 100 for 20 gil, I would be very hard pressed to find anyone willing to pay much more. Very few people would be willing to turn down a deal of 75% off if they buy in bulk which shows in my server's sales history.
