There's honestly not enough DoL/H bots that they couldn't realistically be kept under control by a small dedicated team because it takes a long time for anything other then shard bot to get a point where they can start raking in significant profits due to so much being MSQ gated.
Not being a programmer I am not sure what is or isnt possible. And I am sure that there is no program to detect a bot program logging in a character set to use the market like they do. BUT, a person would be able to recognize that a typical player would not be doing that on an account 24/7, changing prices at inhuman speeds then logging out to log back in on the next character in the same order on a 20 minute cycle.

Oh right, I forgot, some players think thats just the way these "people" play and there is nothing illegal or cheating about it. SE seems to agree...
