Does Square intend to address Market botting?

They just posted a new "action against" post a bit ago.. looking at the number that was banned due to botting... not the RTM bots.. just general botting like market board and crafting bots.. 1 person was banned..

So the answer is no.. theyre not doing anything about player botting when it comes to crafting and market board manipulation..

Any crafting/MB bots feeding RMT would be lumped under the RMT bans.

They did hit several accounts for non-RMT botting in April but we've got no way of knowing if those were crafting/MB bots run by players just looking to get rich or other types of bots such as PvP.

They are doing things, it's just not sufficient to keep on top of the problem. We see the occasional reports in this thread about the suspected bots who have disappeared.

Also, you don't need to bot to engage in marketboard manipulation. You just need to do a little advance planning and preparation.
