Does Square intend to address Market botting?

[Auriya]

Thank you guys for bringing this to more players' and (attempting) SE's attention. Now I know I'm no longer alone with this! I've reported this several times and I've come short because SE see it as an undercutting issue and I'm a hurt player who can't get my items sold (!!!). Which is not alone the case. It's far more serious than that..but you guys already know that. To you TheLoveJenovan - great job!


On the whole Data Light Center Market Board botting has become a huge problem as well.
The whole crafted glamoring market, mid range market (lvl 50-80) for all crafting and gathering related gear, armor and tools are dominated by one single lvl 80 craftername with many altnames scattered all over the data light servers and gazillions of retainers that frequently have name changes. The alts are also used to buy off huge amounts of mats from other servers in an attempt to conceal it's the same player in various disguises seemingly with neverending gil-wallets, which could imply RMT activities.. It's not hard to check the history of items sold.
Most crafters on the servers have given up already and only sell a thing here and there. You put one thing up and there's immediately 10-15 items being put up to undercut you. You try to adjust your prices – don't bother, it's a fight lost if you can't stay in the game 24 hours a day. Too many have given up already, cause on some of the data light servers the competition is completely non existing.

In the 2 years I've played it has never been so obvious as it is at the moment. You have to look at the Market Board with CLOSED EYES in order to not see this!!
