Visiting other worlds, economy effect?

[Vnolan]

1. RMT activity goes way up. Limited to one server before, interested parties can be on any of eight servers
2. Because of the increased competition, gil prices will drop. This will allow more players to take part in buying. Sellers won't be affected because the alternative is no money
3. Good for buyers, bad for sellers. Sellers have to sell more to make the same amount of gil. Sellers that use bots won't be affected because they don't spend time gathering or crafting. Some legit sellers will determine the effort isn't worth the gil made and will drop out. Prices on some items might bounce back with fewer sellers, but a larger percentage of goods will have been acquired through illegitimate means. You could also have players starting to use bots for the first time as a means to stay competitive

On the face of it, another poorly though out decision by SE. They prevented players from accessing gathering nodes, Jumbo cactpot, tournaments and retainers, so it shouldn't be too hard to prevent access to the MB.

especially since bots are only banned in waves.

ahahahahaha...no. You're thinking of gibberish-named bots. Player bots operate much longer and in some cases aren't dealt with at all. Remember: Punishment for first-time botting is a three-day suspension if caught
