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

[Oxidized]

Having done it myself often enough: nope. It doesn't. Past the leveling process of the gatherer, mat acquisition is pretty much instantaneous.
Port to node -> gather -> be done in under 2 minutes.

Then why are you complaining so much about things being overpriced? People can price items at whatever levels they choose, it is up to the buyer to actually spend the gil. Complaining about items being too expensive makes sense if there was a barrier to obtain them, but given you are now making it sound so easy, I do not understand your motivations for posting here except to garner attention for yourself.

So you can stop trying to paint me as some villain now just because I don't share your dramatic view of the situation.

Only one of us is being dramatic, I have never painted you as anything; if I feel your arguments are off the mark, I will not hesitate to attempt to refute them.

BTW: I repeatedly stated that I want SE to crack down harder on Bots.

Yes, along with messages such as this:

Instead of pointlessly raging about bots, just use their cheap resources and save some IRL time on gathering.
I don't see the problem. Gil is pretty much useless in FF-XIV.

See why it is difficult to take your stance seriously?

You fail to recognize that many people who craft and gather do it because we enjoy it, gain a personal sense of satisfaction from doing so, and want this aspect of the game to be fair and meaningful. Gil is not something we really need, but many of us use it as a personal scorecard, how does one have fun knowing in the back of our minds that we will always lose to someone who is overtly cheating?
