Things that take hours to produce or gather aren't being sold cheap because the person is nice or the person can make them cheaper. Its because people with bots spend little to no time doing the work to actually gather/produce said items. Most of us have had to "deal with it" and have and are still rich as a result. I'm just sick of spending so much time "dealing with it" in the wards by repricing things to make room on my retainers.

The goal here is to either encourage SE to crack down on bots, make a more streamlined market system or...hopefully both. By the time 2.0 hits, these issues need to be addressed or people are going to say "they had a year+ to iron out these kinks and a whole player base full of feedback that told new players to just deal with it". I want this game to be as great as it can be!
QFT, SE just needs to add fishable monsters and aggro mobs between and near gathering nodes that force players to use the stealth function (something a bot could'nt recognize) to fix gathering bot issues.

As far as leveling bots and farming bots i'm sure a similarly easy method could be implemented but I havn't thought of one yet.
