How do you deal with constant undercutting?

[Elamys]

Probably more than you think. After all, if you're on to see them undercutting you, then all you've discovered is that their play times are similar to yours.

I'd wager at least a few of the constant, instant undercutters are botters. If you're always getting undercut instantly by the same people what are the actual chances that they're always on at the same time as you and always able to undercut right away? It's like when I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to gathering botters, that we just had the same play schedule and goals. There's almost zero chance that they'd always be at the node at the same time as me, playing at the exact same times.
