Endgame Content, Competitive Atmosphere

Good design takes away the need to bot. Asian developers haven't understood this since the beginning. When you have repetitive tasks that need to be done over and over it's just begging to be botted. There's no skill involved in spamming standard, no skill hitting X 5 millions times, and no skill grinding out 5000 gathers for an achievement.

The economy is shit because there are no limits in place for any type of gear. No rare craftable drops aside from the NM's first introduced. About the only thing worth gil right now is materia because some are rarer than others. One crafter alone can ruin the entire market by themselves if they wanted to just by spamming whatever gear to saturate the market.

Materia gear has been the only savior of the market simply because you can't spam double or higher materia due to the rng factor.
