Botting on the marketboard. Impossible to sell anything.

[Jojoya]

What I don't understand is, when Item X goes really good for let's say 89000 Gil and sells every single day a lot to that price, why do others drop that price to 48000 and lesser Gil just suddenly? The only logic point I see, is that some ultra rich Players tries to mess up the prices on purpose so that all other players can't get rich.
It is like Player X sells 9 Items for 89000 Gil each at a day and then the same Player X crafts more of those Items and sells them for 48000 or lesser Gil the same day. What is the point in that?

Hard to say. Could be just an accident on the price. Could be the seller thinks that more will sell each day if the price is lowered.

In your example (assuming it's a real example) I suspect someone decided to bait a bot, the bot took the bait, then the other player withdrew the bait from the marketboard if it's not showing a sale for the lower amount in sales history. Was it Classical or Pactmaker gear by any chance?

I have a very specific relationship with competition - if I can't have a market none of us will have it. Before quitting a market that got too crowded I always try to ruin it as much as possible. Just out of spite.

I sometimes ruin markets because I hate seeing sellers price-gouging buyers. I just don't ruin them so far that they end up unprofitable. I still believe in profit. I don't believe in outrageous profit unless something is a true luxury item (think things like the Night Pegasus Whistle).

I like being Walmart. Sell low but in volume. I still make gil. The buyer has gil left over to buy things from other sellers so the other sellers also make gil. Those sellers can then afford to buy other things I'm selling so I make more gil. Everyone wins.

Best way to get rich is to not spend your gil in the first place, or at least be smart about what you buy. It's amazing how many players will spend 5000 gil or more on an item even though the tooltip clearly states the item is sold by a vendor for 66 gil (*cough* Emperor's New Gloves *cough*).
