Why is it such a pain to report botters in this game

[Sanctify]

You are weirdly protective of bots.

Well they're right soooo... lol. And the gathering bots do a pretty good job and keeping server economies from being dominated by ppl who would otherwise charge out the ass haha.

Crafting materials are dirt cheap, it cause people to rush into other sources of income.
This makes everything cheaper, and also makes it much much harder to get gils out of marketplace, like ten times harder than it would normally be. Bots are oversaturating market with everything it is possible to drop in open world, and players oversaturate market with everything else that is obtainable in different way.
Because of that, gil circulates way slower on the market and it is harder to get gils for someone who is playing normally, bots cumulates all that gil from the market by botting hell out of this game.
On Zodiark we used to get a ton lot more gil for materia we dropped, even V materia were going around 10-20k, and the VI materia was much more than that. Materials for the tomestones were also a lot more expensive and you would be able to farm a lot of gil by casually playing, but this is no more an option since everything gone so cheap it takes like many times longer to get specified amount of gils.
And the crafted gear is not any cheaper either, it was around 700-1000k for piece and it still is, there is no difference in gear prices at all.
No casual actually benefits from bots ruining this game economy, stop spreading a myth, they are hurting this game.
