Some bots could specialise in selling potions for dirt cheap, with very little profit.
Bots in certain areas and servers didn't affect servers without those specific bots.
Now. They. Do.
All servers, all endgame crafting areas. Money is now being fed to the bots from all servers, funding RWT activities. Ordinary people cannot compete.

And this means that new crafters, just entering the scene are the worst off.
They have to compete with all bots, whilst the other, older crafters have their large cashpile from when they didn't have to compete so much, can watch as everything falls in price, making their cashpile more valuable.
Bots win.
Everyone else thinks they win because of Lower prices, but they'll never have the cash piles the older crafters have.
But the materials will be cheaper anyway. So they'll be able to level their crafting just as quickly for far less investment. unless your goal is amassing Gil, this isn't a detriment to new crafters.
