Is it OK to use bots in FFXIV?

[ZeroRaziel]

I don't see these myself because I only craft gear for myself, not for sale.
If I had something to undercut one with, I'd try to learn it's timing, then drop my item to maybe 1K just before it tweaks it's prices. If it undercuts, buy everything, then quickly remove your item before someone else buys it.
It's obvious that the bot can't recognize an insanely low price and buy instead.

Here you go, this guy did just what you adviced :P

Plus I did the same but 2 weeks later:

4). And due to predictable and systematic patterns of them we were able to pinpoint exact time of a price scanning window of those retainers and just 1 minute before that we set a price for items selling for 2 000 000 Gill a price around 5 000 Gill to see how characters would react. Once they finished scanning, instead of setting price to 4 999 price remained unchanged. Bots got an upgrade since that reddit post and got new & shiny IF > conditional in a bot's script. And you know what? Once they were done scanning prices instead of visitting a Market Board and buying off more than five Shinryu Weapons for 5 000 Gill this character simply logs off and loggins with a next one.
(that's cause those lvl 22 players are of a very noble heart and do not wish to abuse a "miskate" of someone who "accidentally forgot" to add 3 extra zeros to a price... *stoic_nod* )
