    Anyone notice botting DoL has gotten exponentially worse recently?

    In the last week, I've found things like shards significantly overbotted. Much much moreso than before. I used to be able to farm a couple hundred while I waited for queues and they'd sell fast for a decent chunk, but suddenly a dozen new retainers popped up posting stacks of 2,000, 3,000, even 9,999 thousand for 9 or 10 gil each (about 1/4 what they were going for).

    This morning, I see a retainer with a keyboard mashed name (something like "lhasdfklhjas") who is posting no less than 57,000 lightning shards in stacks of 9,000. I don't even know how he does it being only able to hold 9,999 in your inventory.

    Does SE comment in this forum? Do they plan to do anything about it? Or will this be like FFXI where everyone knew the RMT and they stayed for years?

    Edit: Crunching the numbers, a human can farm about 7-800 shards/hr. This guy would've had to farm for 76 hours earning 12,000 gil/hr to do this legitly for lightning shards alone. And he's got similar postings for every other shard type.
