Bots I hate and understand but people complaining that others are undercutting them... I have no pity for you. Everything in the game is obtainable for free if you invest the time to do so. The question is, how much time does a gil equate to?

Just because you spent money to buy X mats to make Y to sell for Z, and someone else went out and farmed X to make Y and sold for Z - 50% doesn't mean they are "breaking the market", it means they found a way to be more profitable with slightly more effort. If I can make 100% profit at 50% of the cost an item sells for and sell it faster vs making 20% profit (which may still be less than the farming person made by taking the time to do so), I'll take the larger profit option everytime.

Don't get me wrong, I tend to buy mats and items as I am not a huge fan of crafting or gathering but those who are are doing it right.
