Does Square intend to address Market botting?

[ItMe]

So this is what actually happens. Every legit crafter tries to compete against a robot who undercuts continuously. Eventually the crafter gives up as their products don't sell. The robot then has a monopoly on the product as all competition as been deterred. The robot then increases the price of the product by 3-5x the previous market value. Who does that benefit exactly? Gaganaskin belt of gathering for 110k?

That's what actually happens? I dunno... sounds pretty far fetched.
That would require
1.) Nearly every single player putting items on the market to abandon it.
2.) The bot not having other bots to compete with.
3.) This happening on literally every server in your cluster so you can't just use the world visit system to buy the item elsewhere.

Those are some pretty steep conditions.

And regardless... if the prices go high and selling them becomes that profitable... competition would return and the market would continue to change.
