    Does anyone have any feedback for the way I wrote this report on the issue? Is there any way I could've been clearer? By the way, I replaced the crafting character's actual name with "[REDACTED 4 U]" so hopefully that appeases the "shut up you're going to get banned just for talking about other players' suspicious behavior" crowd.

    ■World Name
    Behemoth
    ■Zone
    Market Board

    ■Character Name
    [REDACTED 4 U]

    ■Detail
    I've observed suspicious activity by this player over the course of months. I can not prove definitively that they are botting and engaging in RMT with the limited amount of information available to me as a player, but I believe if your team investigated them you would be able to see what they're up to. As a player, I've observed at least 49 different retainers selling items crafted by this one player. Of course, they would need multiple characters and possibly multiple accounts to have access to so many retainers. All the [REDACTED 4 U]-crafted items for sale across all these retainers are updated many times every day, throughout the day, in order to have the lowest asking price on the Market Board by 1 gil. In order to constantly update the prices so often on so many items on so many retainers, it seems very likely that they are using 3rd party botting programs to update the prices. All the gear crafted by [REDACTED 4 U] that's being sold across these 49+ retainers must be earning them hundreds and hundreds of millions of gil. I can't think of a reason for so much work to go into amassing this much gil unless it is being sold for real currency. Here is a list of the names of retainers I've observed constantly selling items crafted by [REDACTED 4 U]:

    This activity is making it difficult and unfun for regular crafters to engage in the game economy, since all the [REDACTED 4 U]-crafted items tend to have the most competitive price most of the time due to their ability to update the prices on so many items, so quickly with whatever ToS-breaking assists they are likely using.
