    just wait until we have data center visit.

    makes it a thousand times easier for the bots and cheaters. SE's idea of being "low impact" and "negligible problems"

    Most likely, SEs will always understand the problems when bots from all over the world come on their probably peaceful and with a minimum number of bots and start interfering with the Japanese, and only when their relatives feel the whole problem of bots will they start doing something. Instead of banning 3-7 real high-end bots per week...and this not every week

    Bots all appear and appear. Over the past month, I have seen a couple of new trading bots. And two or three new FC bots that I will run into when collecting levinsand.
    And one of them is sponsored and was apparently moved from another server, as a typical check of clothes on a bot led me to another FC bot, and at first his nickname was encrypted (Obtaining Signature) and his retainers had Russian words written in English. A couple of days later, his nickname clearly showed up when I checked the prices and noticed that these Russian retainers are selling things with a clear nickname (I will not indicate the nickname, because Bots Lives Matter for SE)

    I'm in a JP DC and I see bots from time to time. There are also some items that seem like fierce price cut happened (600, 599, 598, ...).
    Nonetheless, most items are still OK and go up and down as it should.

    There are also some ppl listing items at 1-2 gil/pc. What's the point of selling it same price as selling to NPC?

    There are economically illiterate people there is nothing you can do about it. Just as I have seen people selling the materia of the initial levels of its lower price npc.

    Well playing on America, I can say that in 70lvl + content from trading bots we have at least 8-10. Moreover, of these 2-3 are multi-server inside the cluster, or even have the same scheme on another cluster (as this can be seen both by the nicknames and by the name of the FC and by the appearance of the characters). But in the collection all the same nicknames flicker for almost a year, none of these bots has been banned, only new ones come. After 5.5, I traded 510 items, and now I continue to do so, in fact, you need to be at the MB every 5-10 minutes to check the prices of items. And they hope that someone will buy most of it quickly, the problem is usually that I live in Eastern Europe and play America there is a big time difference, and the most active phase is evening or deep night for me.

    It's not a bad thing. If you need the item you can get HQ of it at 1g. All I had to do was just not put the said item on sale and focus on more valuable ones.
    To me it seems more like a donation to new players who might need it
