Balmung has a ton of bots as well, to the point where legitimate players cannot make a noticeable profit on many items. The Ironworks market is absolutely hilarious, with the MB having hundreds of items listed, at 180k a piece max. The best part is, they're all posted and crafted by the same people who have been crafting these items for months.

Every single one is crafted by the same person. Absolutely none of the crafters I know bothers selling Ironworks anymore because they know the bots have the entire market. The same people gathering have been going around gathering and very obviously botting for well over a year now, since I started seriously gathering and crafting. I'd wager that almost every gatherer I see is a bot or is botting at least part of the time. They go to the same nodes (usually ones that have Ironworks-related materials - crystallized sap, lumythrite ore, smithsonite ore, etc).

There is absolutely no reason to condone this behavior, and if you played on a server as big as Balmung, you would see why. It is actively hurting the ability of crafters and gatherers to play the game they want to, to play the game the way it was meant to for DoH/L.
