Gil from leves was never a problem in the past. Nor was gil a problem from collectibles but that was nerfed too. Bots however are a rampant issue and will continue wrecking the markets and churning out billions via treasure maps. They can't just keep snatching away the pennies that legitimate players are scraping off the floor because they don't have an answer to bots.
Because the number of players across all servers doing this leve turn-in to spam for gil probably outnumbers everything else (in terms of total gil generated)? Without access to the data from the backend ourselves we have to go with what the development team says and they have said it live - the leves are generating too much gil and will cause issues with the economy.

Just because they have not announced additional counter-measures against bots doing maps does not mean they are unaware of it - i certainly believe the STF team / GMs are reading our reports and they are not turning a blind eye to the botting.

However - IF you disagree strongly with what Yoshi-P said during the recent Live Letter or how they are handling this issue, i would suggest you reach out to the development team via the feedback channels available to players.
