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.
