Has anyone noticed a decrease in botting activity in light of recent events?

I've only noticed one undercutter bot on Cactaur, but they occupy basically the entire market for ilvl 350 DoW/M gear, so trying to sell any of that requires you either be equally diligent in undercutting or undercutting by so much that they won't go any lower.

Speaking as an endgamer merchant myself... I am CONSTANLTY undercutting people by 1 gil. This is because im an active merchant. If the other people are active too, they can undercut me. When the price gets low enough, Ill just buy the others out and relist the items again. This results in always having stock to sell.

Haven't had one rmt send me a tell...the report function must be working well. Outside of that, if i stay at the uldah aetheryte, you can see some every now and then popin and disappear. I also recently saw some doing the trap quest in horizon, kind of funny...he was placing a trap then teleporting to the npc...back to placing a trap then to the npc..

The RMT bots seem to have dropped the more disruptive forms of advertising like tells and party invites because it was getting them banned a lot faster then spamming say/shout chat was.

I know some people are obsessed with crafting and all, but this person is online and active virtually 24/7.

Even if I'm repricing my stuff at what would be the wee hours of the morning for all US timezones, they'll still be sitting in their house undercutting, and the same goes for EU timezones, as well.

Not to mention I've literally never seen them using a non-DoH class, either. I keep tabs on the level 70 DoH/L players on the server in player search to see if the STF will ever get their act together and ban the people I've been reporting for months, even though I half-expect that that's probably never going to happen.
