Does Square intend to address Market botting?

[KageTokage]

It is particularly strange because they did swiftly crack down on the bots that were being used to simply gather data on marketboard prices due to how often they were pinging the servers.

You'd think they could see the abnormal speed of price changes/item transfers these guys are doing compared to normal players and respond accordingly.

I would love to know how they have managed that and how that is not bannable. I get it, SE has limited resources etc blah blah blah, but as you point out, without hacking/botting, thats impossible

If I had to guess, most of the slowness in the conventional retainer interface is client-sided, therefore if they're hacking they can basically just strip away all of the time-wasting elements so it goes faster.

This would, however, create a very obvious disparity between them and normal players.
