There's no bots in Expansion maps for a reason, and that reason is why you need clear all quests, Dungeons, Primals and etc to reach there and bots don't do that.
Base game is sold on its own. Let's say someone just wants to dabble their feet in ARR (they can always look at the expansions later), they shouldn't be allowed to trade at all? Plus, bots are already using hacking scripts, they'd just take a few days to update their scripts and get up to Ishgard, and away they go. Remember that this is their business, and they will do whatever it takes to make business. The way to stop it, is to deal with the people buying the gil. If there's no market, then they'll shut shop.
