After the May 1 report that SE made about banning about 500 accounts, almost all of the retainers that I suspected of botting have disappeared and the prices of myth mats have skyrocketed. This pretty much confirmed that those players were indeed doing something illicit. As a crafter, this means that my profit has drop quit significantly (though prices of equipment might raise to reflect this in the future). Regardless, I am pleased with this development, I would gladly lose profit to prevent others from gaining easy and unfair profit.
