Reporting cheaters and the STF: Where's the consistency?

[KageTokage]

The unfortunate thing is that crafters only comprise a minority in the community and the bulk of the players are strictly consumers who welcome the unreasonably low prices the bot farmers enforce.

That said, it's unlikely this issue is ever going to have much of a voice behind it; certainly not enough to get SE to seriously reconsider their methods. Considering that they acknowledged the problem then utterly failed to actually change anything after we specifically raised the question to the guy running the STF, I feel like they really are failing to grasp just how bad the issue is. It's not even a matter of it not being a thing on JP servers as simply looking at the top FCs on their data centers reveals a lot of suspicious ones that consist mostly/entirely of DoL/H players who've scarcely touched anything other then those classes.

I mostly made this topic out of frustration because I used to enjoy selling gathered/crafted items, but now it's seriously become a case of "why bother" when I can make just as much gil doing things that are more interesting like Eureka or treasure maps.
