How long does a report actually take?

Are they a new character running through the main scenario quest line to harvest raw tier IV materia from quest rewards later in the quest line? medium priorty

Is it a bot thats spirit bonding items and selling materia on the MB? low priority

Are you serious? Who are you to say what the priority is? Crit/Det IV materias are extremely lucrative. Crafting/Gathering materia also fetches a very high amount.

I dare say Materia is the 3rd most profitable venture in the game, behind Crafting and Mercenary work in selling content clears. I would even go so far as to put Materia ahead of raw mat gathering.

It's the observation of my premise. The bots that spiritbond and sell on the MB are still around. The individual bots that harvest raw mats are still around. Those blackmage quartets come and go with every announced mass banning.

Under the circumstances of your premise, yes they are lucrative. They would be even more lucrative if those low priority bots were to suddenly disappear. I'm not endorsing bot activity, but this is the deduction of what kind of bot is most detrimental to how gil exchanges from hand to hand.
