How botting may Kill this game (even if the game rebounds)

[Azurymber]

Too bad almost every piece of gear that isn't unique or requires NM drops to craft is dirt cheap, generally costing less than 20k gil. You get 20k gil a leve. You do the math. Nobody I know has the mentality that he/she has to bot to keep up.

this thread is about new players not about current players and not about now.
This happened in ffxi, a lot of players quit because they couldn't afford the -good- gear and didn't enjoy spending a month farming non stop for one peice of gear. Thats what will most likely happen in this game.
