I disagree, the ones that are the newest are adapting their game to be less detectible even although it's obvious enough, they are rotating their alts and fc masters, buying houses for their fc's, they don't seem to go there unless to reset the timers on its demolition, and I'm betting they already have replacements in place just in case. (probably because they have seen online rants and forums on how they are being detected to avoid constant reporting).

Because the base items are also being farmed over both dc's by a different kind of gil farmer, I try to only buy the items priced around theirs by what looks like legit players to tank the suspected bot on the server I'm currently playing on. (items I was already crafting previously before they showed up) my current prices aren't high but I have them at the price that keeps theirs off the board. I'm probably only hitting a very small % of it, and I'm only selling on 1 server so if my stuff goes elsewhere its not me selling it.

I think someone (credit to their earlier post) suggested here a limit to listing, adjusting, and or removing listings for a set period of time on the marketboard, this could be a step in the right direction to interrupt their progress and would allow real players to have their items in contention for a better period of time, and if u could identify the bots patterns and activity times you could wait till they update theirs then go update yours to lock them out....for a little while at least.

This would probably hinder their operations the most and would make it less attractive as a side hustle...

....unfortunately getting SE's attention is another problem.
