    Will undercutting be a severe issue once SE launches their FF14 chat/retainer app?

    I have a slight concern: will undercutting be infinitely exacerbated due to the app allowing access to retainer market board features when it launches? I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to code a bot to use the app to monitor the retainers and constantly undercut 24/7 while setting a minimum price so the bot doesn't get outmaneuvered by humans.

    Edit: Just to clarify I'm not saying undercutting itself is a problem. I'm asking if the app will cause potential bots to undercut every other minute, which I would describe as a severe undercutting cycle. Imagine if two bots undercut each other. That will quickly crash the market into their minimum price that the bot owners decided.
