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

[Oxidized]

People who support the existence of DoH/L bots under the oft faulty notion that the items players sell are overpriced are indeed basically just arguing against the existence of a crafting/gathering system in general.

This 100%. If you believe something to be overpriced, then simply put in the work to do it yourself, then you will not be paying for it; if enough other people agree that it is too expensive, they will follow suit.

Those who are claim that "bots are good because they lower prices" are missing the point entirely; it is not about fair market economics, but about cheating in general, how it is allowed to happen, and how it undermines a HUGE part of the casual FF14 community through the inaction of enforcement.
