    I totally agree.

    And even if we did have 1000s of shards most of us crafters wouldn't put them up for sale of course.

    In a new server I can see your point. However, in a legacy server I don't see this logic completely sticking. I had all types of shards maxed out from playing 1.0. I sold most of them. I only left about 1500 of each in my inventory.

    Just saying that not everyone selling shards, crystals and cluster in the form you described is a bot.

    Mind you I can get shards easily for my craft classes since I have all my DoL maxed out. So I didn't need to keep all those shards, might as well sell them.

    This. Square could really help their botting "investigations" along by simply checking the Market board shard section once in a while. There have been retainers holding a consistent 25k-30k shards on my server's board for weeks now. Should be an easy red flag for Square to be tracing where they got all those shards from.

    And that doesn't mean suspend them while their transactions traced (bad guilty until proven innocent method), save that for the next step.

    even if you sell off all the shards in one go you wont have the same 25-30,000 shards up repeatedly day after day after day. on new or legacy server this should be an obvious give away.
