Lack of action against gathering bots, it needs to be changed, and soon

[Vnolan]

Or maybe, if crafters in the west (I heard it's less of an issue on JP servers) would stop charging absurd premiums, botting would not be so lucrative in the first place.

How does that explain FATE and crafting bots? Players bot because it's free money or progress while they AFK and there are no consequences for doing it. If sands were cheap they would just bot something else, like they already do.

(Scuro and Chirao aren't must much anymore because they are for low level items).

Scuro is used in grade 2 tinctures

So please... forgive me if I can't be up in arms about us gatherers no longer being able to charge 50-100K for an item that is utterly trivial to obtain.

If it's so trivial, why not gather them yourself?

If a few survive (and there will always be survivers) it's not the end of crafting as we know it.

Except it's only a few that ever get banned, which is what the topic is about.
