    It will probably cause the RMT to bottom-out because now they don't need to have RMT bots on every server, they can just take over the lowest-populated server and flood it with so much stuff that no real craftig player will want to stay. Then they have smuggler bots that cause massive amounts of gil to be transferred to other servers.

    It could actually result in an awful situation where people are forced to adopt unreasonably low prices if their server happens to be one of the odd few that doesn't have a MB dominated by bots.
    There is no cross-server competition, the bots are run by the same scammers. They're more likely to either:

    a) tank the price of all items that can be gathered

    b) buy up all high-value items and either keep them off the market or maximize the price.

    At any rate the easiest fix is to only allow items to be bought, not sold via the world visiting system. eg you can goto X, and buy up all of Y item, but when you come back to your server, you can't sell Y item.
