But with that said...remove all the bots then what.

Crafters will still make 10xs the armor as needed by the market.
Gathers will mass gather 100xs the materials that crafters need.
And raiders/endgame ppl will continue to not buying stuff a month into raid patches because the gear is complete trash compared to tome/raid drops.

And due to the above this will lead to all those 100s of legit crafters per server to... well constantly undercutting every few minutes to try to off load their 10 armor pieces they just crafted along side a market that has 120 already on there with everyone else trying to mass sell before the prices crash.
There are plenty of markets to cover for real people to fill, there's not exactly an overwhelming supply problem. The problem is you have single bot crafters keeping the market supplied for the top 80% of items on the mb, while everyone else's items rot. You massively underestimate exactly how prolific the problem is.
