Does Square intend to address Market botting?

It's how every other game does it, and how it's done IRL as well, to avoid this kind of behavior. It basically encourages botting.
I see no other way to fix it that would be less detrimental, me myself would rather prefer it to tax me 5% (or, lets go for 2.5%) whenever I list something, get the 2.5% back whenever I sell something and remove the 5% tax all together.
With 2.5% and the return, you'd be able to relist your item three times if we assume that you get it sold the third time you post it, compared to the 5% tax that's in place today, while also solving the undercutting bots.

I dont think we would lose the bots doing that. while their sole purpose is gil generation, a tax would cut into that process a bit, the bot isnt going to care. it only stop real people from trying to compete with the pots because of the tax. so actually, would aid the bots in their market control.

the only effective control is going to be remove the pool of RMT gil buyers. "vacations" and bans get the message across that its not allowed and eventually the slice of the RMT market diminishes enough to lessen the gil generation bots on the MP.
