There are MB/crafting bots that exist. They'll update prices every 15 or 30 minutes on the dot to be the lowest price down to a set amount then stop. I've reported these before and they're usually associated with a crafting bot(s) that will craft 24/7 inside a house next to a bell so they can craft and list stuff without exposing themselves. These crafting bots will also have gathering bots gathering for them and a lot of the times they're all contained inside of the same FC where all the members are bots or mules of bots. These mules are generally always naked level 20 characters and will log in just long enough to update prices or allow the crafting bot(s) to access their retainers/bags.
