Square-Enix, please, do something about the bots

[KageTokage]

I don't think the bots are ever going to be addressed unless there's a serious outcry about it, at least on the level of the housing issue. Unfortunately, from what I've noticed on my server, people are often oblivious to bots, don't care about them, or actually want them around due to driving down the prices on items (Which is strictly beneficial for the crafters who are too lazy to gather their own materials).

The fact that it's largely a non-issue on the JP side of things is also likely another factor playing into why it's being handled so poorly.
