    I doubt that. They can easily put items on a vendor NPC if they wanted to create some sort of price regulation, like they did with the intermediate crafting materials for HW and SB.

    The listings that appear to be bots most likely are bots or players with a lot of time on their hands that prefer crafting/gathering to other game content.

    MMOs tend to be hands off when it comes to the player driven economies. It would take a considerable amount of development time to micromanage prices in the player markets when there are tens of thousands of different items to be monitored. They most they do is adjust drop rates or change quantities needed for recipes if needed items become difficult to obtain.

    For now, players are mostly fearing what might happen over thinking out what likely will happen. Any market changes are far more likely to end up slow over time then sudden. The biggest risk are the bots rings out there - how are they going to take advantage of data center travel now that it will be easy to move items between data centers?

    The information is in the patch notes.

    You can't post a sell listing on a different world/data center to sell items since your retainer access is restricted to your home world.

    Players are welcome to make purchases from marketboards on other data centers.
