    Let us report retainers who sell items from bots

    I am starting to see a large crop of raw shards being sold by same few retainers on my server. whenever goes guys load up the price of sharps plummet from 45 gil to 20-10 gil. I keep seeing some retainers with over 20 stacks of 9999 of different shards. Let us right click on retainer names in the market and just do a instant report of suspicion. Botting and cheating is becoming more and more rampant.

    Maybe I underestimate the ability of a person to collect 9,999 shards, but with 20 stacks of 9,999 this doesn't sound like legitimate mining of shards, or collecting them from some other means. It sounds like this person is using some kind of hack, or that since they are RMT and have access to billions, if not trillions of gil, that they are buying up all the shards, then lowering the price and selling them. What does anyone else think? Hack, market manipulation, or legit?

    More likely they're just botting them.

    or that since they are RMT and have access to billions, if not trillions of gil, that they are buying up all the shards, then lowering the price and selling them. What does anyone else think? Hack, market manipulation, or legit?
    Er... I don't see how this makes sense at all. It'd basically be throwing money away.

    That's genius. Buy high, sell low. Why did nobody else ever think of that?
