Botting on the marketboard. Impossible to sell anything.

Some kind of anti-change-price mechanism sounds cool on paper, but look at how botched housing lottery is. What SE needs is better bot detection instead of harming real crafters. Until that happens gotta update the prices few times a day and anything gets sold.

no, what SE needs to do is go after the RMT gil buyers, then there isnt a market for the gil from the bots, and they will dry up. "bot detection" has failed in games for years. if real dollars are there, the bots always have incentive to bypass any measure. the only way to decrease bots, is not better protection, its better enforcement of the "dont buy gil" policy.

I have been saying this for years. In XI one of our ls members openly admitted, in ls chat, that he had bought upwards of 100m gil and was encouraging other members to do the same. After getting a ton of info out of him like what site he used, their prices and how the gil is transferred all in written chat, I broke his pearl and reported him. His ban? 3 days... and nothing he purchased with that gil was removed. He literally got a nearly free relic weapon since he used that money to buy the ancient currency for it.
