Destroying Server Economies

[Vnolan]

Perhaps this will pose an opportunity for crafters and gatherers to coordinate on ether forum or discord to beat the bot/gold sellers at their own game and squeeze them out of the market

Not possible. Botters don't care how cheap goods sell for.

who is a legitimate gatherer/crafter to actually buy from on the market? We can also get the word out between guilds, new players

The majority don't care because they benefit from them.

hopefully SE to help such a project.

SE really doesn't care.

So the OP's complaint is that players on their server now have more options to buy items from?

Here is something currently happening: The cheapest infusions are on Gilgamesh. The majority are made through the use of bots. Players looking to make easy Gil are buying them from Gilgamesh and relisting them on their servers for as much as they can. Either players buy those relists on their home world and indirectly fund the bots or they compare servers and buy from the bots directly. So yeah, prices are going down, but if you don't care that they come from bots, why not bot yourself and cut out the middleman?
