Destroying Server Economies

[Doozer]

It seems like the people most angry about any changes to the economy are the ones selling stuff for absurd prices and they're afraid of being plebs like the rest of us.

Nah, the biggest fear is that bots monopolising one server with botted low prices will now monopolise all servers on the data centre

Ordinary people gathering and crafting mats cannot compete with robots that never eat or sleep.

So.. what.. stopped the bots from being on any server before?

Usually they weren't on every server, and the ones that were targeted certain areas you could avoid, which could differ from server to server. Crafter players sometimes transferred so they wouldn't have to compete with certain problem bots.
Now bots will affect all servers, and in more areas.

Another thing that's annoying being a crafter is now when I want to sell something, I have to check prices of all servers, not just my own, so there's a bit of annoying world teleporting I have to do now :< I have already d/c'd a few times in limsa due to the player influx.
Also, who is going to buy things from smaller servers anymore? People will just go to the largest servers by default because they would expect prices to be cheaper there already.

I honestly don't see any reason it'd be any worse. Same number of bots. Either they'll spread out and everyone gets a dose, keeping low level mats and crafts low priced.. or they'll still concentrate and the problem hasn't changed.

If anything, this opens up the possibility for me to spread my monopolies data center wide.
