This doesn't really work against botters. For example, the Balmung community has reported gathering botters who are at it 24/7 for months/years but to no avail.

These botters have set the price of some mats, including those from timed nodes to less than 300 gil for more than 6 months at a time.

Because for a bot even selling for 1 gil is profit as they have not invested time like a human player has.
