To be fair, I actually think Yoshida's correct there. World transfer may have had an impact but it's likely the smallest. What utterly crashed the markets is how absurdly easy crafting became this expansion, and more specifically, the overwhelming amount of bots. The sad reality is people are more emboldened now because they know SE won't do anything. I've even met some who are so brazen with botting, they'll outright tell you because, and I quote, "Not like SE ever does anything."

I hate to say it but literally every single one of us in this thread could google a bot program, set it up and never get caught. That's how poorly handled the situation has become.
