Does Square intend to address Market botting?

..since they must buy all their crafting materials, their cost to produce is far higher than mine.

I have to disagree here. Technically bots have zero costs. Yes, they buy materials off the market board but with gil they made running a script. There is no human behind the screen clicking buttons and crafting for hours. Your cost is actually far higher than theirs since you are there physically clicking buttons instead of having some other quality time.

The reason they have a bottom set is because they run a business -- selling gil. If they still undercut you, they are making enough profit to keep the business running (trust me). Don't forget that they are active on basically every server selling ALL items lvl 50 and over. While you can slow their business down on Zalera (how many items do you actually sell?) it's business as usual on the other servers. Think about that before you waste more time on them. Even without selling the items you screw them on they are probably still making millions of gil on items lvl 50 - 79.

EDIT: Not trying to bash you by the way. I'm just trying to warn you about how little impact you will have on their operations. Undercut them for personal profits by all means, but don't think it will hurt them in any way. They don't even know you are undercutting them anyway because they don't physically play.

The -ONLY- way to screw them over really good is by having at least one person on every server dumping items all day long below their buttom price. And trust me, literally no one in his/her right mind can keep that up for items lvl 50 and up.

Lost cause boys. Either SE steps in or none of this will ever go away.
