Does Square intend to address Market botting?

We have to agree that people that make money like this aren't that sharp to begin with. Dumb behavior like you shared is interesting but not unexpected. Thanks for the post, and I hope I can find and read more about the bot you've posted.

Separately, I was thinking that this problem is too easy to not address--at least for the egregious cases discussed here. At this stage, I wouldn't be surprised if either SE got a cut from these companies, or SE was relying on the inflation in their economies to somehow bolster other sales.

I've never thought that SE was making a good faith effort with eliminating botting. Now, I'm more convinced that the botting system itself is allowed to continue in bad faith. From my experience with the in-game support, they'll readily address cases of harassment or phishing attempts. For bots, they're conspicuously silent. There is no way they don't know about the extent of this problem. They likely receive hundreds of reports for any given bot. Additionally, they likely carefully monitor how users interact with their product--all other software companies do. At this stage, they're not doing anything about it--including even acknowledging the problem--for a reason.
