lol, nice idea but don't think so. the most coveted materia (savage aim IV and savage might IV) are still pretty stable in price..at least on my server. don't see any influence through botters there...now, crafting materia though...that market has crashed badly. You have such an high influx at the moment, it is ridiculous. Who in their right mind needs a stack of 99 materia at once? Those botters are not only cheaters, they are stupid too.
