Does Square intend to address Market botting?

[Prrringles]

Any chance you could share it with us here?

I could but I would need to redact big portions because SE does not allow to name an shame individuals (but hell freezes over if you call someone a doodoo). Can't be arsed really, some parts are in Japanese too to make sure they get the point. The TLDR is basically telling them WHO is doing it and HOW they are doing it (in detail). Then basically telling them how all that is destroying their ingame economy and dedicated crafting community (inserted links to this forum and reddit). Finally reminding them about their own code against RMT and doing the right thing (code of honour is an important aspect of Japanese culture).

It's all in there. I could not think of a better case excluding their actual data to back it all up. I have no idea how the STF works and how they review cases like this. I don't even know if they only review cases written in Japanese or if they google translate cases written in English. No clue at what rate they review cases. But I guess that's what you get with a zero transparency policy.

If no action will be taken we will have our answer guys (we kind of already do but ok). I'm not here trying to tell anyone what to do, but I myself (as a hardcore crafter/seller since basically 1.0) am done with the market board. I am unsubbing my retainers not holding any gil. I know SE won't even notice but whatever, this is where I draw the line. I am not going to waste my time and compete with automated scripts any longer.

Peace
