Does Square intend to address Market botting?

Thanks Sqwall; please let us know if your report and video leads to a ban for the bot FC.

On our server (Jenova), one bot used to only work the lvl 70-80 gear markets, but it has recently moved to about sixty different lvl 50-80 items. Many of the sellers and crafters have just given up on those items/markets, and the bot is the only seller at ridiculous prices--like 120k for a Mythrite Axe. I hope your bots don't move in that direction.

On Zalera we have several bots in operation, and one covers pretty much everything down to level 50. And a second is branching in that direction as well.

As someone that now works from home, and spends a fair bit of time er... watching my gaming computer >.>, I spent my day crafting to start then putting things up. I KNOW how mind numbing it is to stand on the market board and check my prices in order to get any sales. There is no way within human endurance that a real person can do it as fast as they do, day in day out for months. have I played for over 24 hours straight, of course, if I want to get through something or am running quests, but to cycle through different characters and retainers for changing pricing? no, thats just not a human doing it.

sure, its a sub... but I have a sub too and I actually PLAY the game. and, unlike a bot, chances are if I leave, a friend or two will come with me.

its past time for SE to tell us they are going after more than the low hanging fruit. face it, banning RMT barkers is easy. and a number doesnt mean anything to me. if the mp bots disappear from the mp.. THAT tells me they are doing something, because I dont even notice the teleporting bots with nonsensical names any more

oh, and TheLoveJenovan.. they are that level (20-30) because thats when they get retainers...
