    Honestly dude. I've never heard bout AH bots. IF RMTs speculate they do it on rare, very expensive items - dont really need bots for that. When it comes to more common items (but still quite expensive) they rather farm a lot and sell stuff for lower price cuz of competition (many suppliers) and that usually results in huge deflation.

    You didn't play FFXI much then. They tended to stand in Lower Jeuno right next to where they could easily target the far right AH node and the Delivery NPC at the same time. IF you did a search for their names on FFXIAH.com you'd see tons of buys from them for items like Leaping Boots and Utsusemi as low as they could then a month down the line selling them for 10-50x more then they bought them, trying to wipe the buy history out in game by flooding it with sells to themselves.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    If that's the case, it's simply a flaw of FFXI's AH. Look at any other game's AH, which is what FFXIV would be expected to have as FFXI is much out-dated, and as much I love that over market-wards, it is still by far the worst AH I've seen in a game to date.

    Ive played FFXI for 5 years and I didnt notice anything you described. Guess it was server specific activity.
    BTW: if utsusemi prices go 10 times up, it kinda sucks for buyers, but on the other hand - it is crafters paradise. If Id notice Chinese fellows bots buying any quantity of utsusemi, I wouldnt stop crafting it. Guess your server was lacking crafters.

    And still it is way better than Market Wards in FFXIV. Thats how terrible MW is.
