Does Square intend to address Market botting?

[Kleeya]

but right now, SE might as well REMOVE harvesting and crafting because on my server at least, there is zero use for it.

While i understand that bots can make some people angry, saying this kind of thing is overreacting. Earning gils is not the sole purpose of crafting and gathering, it is also useful for :

- gather all the ingredients you need by yourself ;
- craft yourself some hq gear ;
- getting with Rowena's collectables tons of crafting/gathering materias for pentamelding ;
- advancing the Ishgard reconstruction while getting all these minions/mounts/etc ;
- making your own housing items for your house/appartement ;
- doing your crafter/gatherer tribal quests ;
- earning gc seals with the daily deliverys ;
- getting tons of achievements for people collecting them ;
- making some foods and potions to hit harder in raids ;
- etc.

Bots only become a problem if you try to make big amounts of gils by reselling your items. But if you don't there is plenty of things to do and enjoy with crafting and gathering, without even caring of what is going on on the market board. Saying that it has zero use and should be removed from the game is taking it way too far.
