Level 70 gathering bots go unpunished

[Krojack]

Honestly, as long as people can still make a profit from crafting, the supply costs are reasonable. If people don't like the costs, then they'll just gather mats themselves until the prices tank because nobody wants to buy anything.

I was able to move aethersands at a decent clip for 5K each when SB first dropped, but the bots swiftly crashed it all the way down to 1.5K within a few weeks of them becoming active.

This kind of thinking is what kills gathering. I've never been a big fan of crafting in most games. I've always enjoyed gathering more and used it as my income. How would you feel if there were crafting bots non-stop spitting out gear and making the market on that tank?
