Does Square intend to address Market botting?

You probably crashed it below their floor price so they stopped really. Since the bots kinda go "if it is below this, don't update" I've been doing that on a lot of items lately once I see a particular bot in a market, I'll flood it with like 30 of an item at 1/3 its price to just force it to never sell stuff.

It is possible. I don't know much about how they set any of it up but I got the feeling some of them might have been legit humans but I do agree bots are a serious problem all over the game. Have not noticed as many out in the world lately at least in various primal worlds lately but they are all over the mb and standing around at the grand company or standing by main city aetherites too.

Ya I've got three crafter bots in my sights that I try to go through various markets to hunt and crash the prices on them. I've tried sending them multiple tells as well and never get a response even though they are on for multi-day spans (i've had FC mates who are on at my sleep hours check them) and they never leave their apartment. I've tracked and reported a large number of gathering bots who again I've watched, followed about, attempted to interact with on multiple occasions over multiple hours and even tried opening trades and other things to get a response, never do they just keep doing their thing for again...days on end and always the same thing for months.

The bot enforcement/handling is pretty abyssmal.

From what i noticed: Each world i've seen yet has 1 or 2 crafters which are running an MB Bot that uses 8 characters with 2-8 retainers each. As they dont offer an item twice this results in an insane amount of inventory slots so that they can "occupy" almost any relevant slot.
