Bots driving the prices DOWN.

[AccountBanned]

Last night I was looking at the market board for ideas of what to farm when I noticed that a couple people that I've previously reported as bots were selling 6-10 lots of 99 stacks of a certain item at insanely low prices compared to what they had sold for only a week ago.

I guess this is a rant but I wish something would be done about these bots before the economy is even worse.

They are working on it.
The best thing you can do is just report as much as you can.
Details help. Keep in mind, a while ago, they already confiscated 382 million gil or something.
I know that doesn't sound like much, but its a good start.

Honestly it is a horrible start. If they investigate the reports as they come in ban the bot then bots couldn't drive down the prices. Their goods would not be on the market. They drive down the prices because then it becomes a buyers market with them supplying the buyers with the money.

I honestly don't know if its bots or just... people that want to watch the world burn at this point. I was making a bit farming cobalt ore, I even tried to buy up from some undercutters and flip it, but now, its gone from 90 gil an ore to around 20. kommunitie, y u du dis.

More cobalt out there less its worth. simple economics.

Yeah. I suspect the gathering xp buff is what is causing sudden the explosion in the lvl 50 mining population. Sucks though, now there is really 0 point to farm stuff to sell, its worth more now to just sit on it for crafting /sigh

I despise people 'flipping the AH' and driving up prices, good luck to anyone who makes that impossible. I wish stiff bought on the AH wasn't relistable.

Its not driving prices up if its just keeping it where it was at before some person undercut everything by 75%

Yes, watching the world burn.
