how to fix market board botting

[KageTokage]

I've see bots spamming ShB dungeons to farm phantasmagoria tomestones (Either as an entire group or just individuals using trusts), so I'm fairly convinced the only thing that can actually stop them is just banning them as virtually any other type of countermeasure will be worked around sooner or later.

I'm amazed SE hasn't figured out how to solve this yet. When I google "market board bots ff14" this is the first thing that pops up.

Could it be possible that SE owns the bots themselves and are the ones who make money off this?

Simple post fee/tax would certainly help, 2-5% of posted item's price. Would certainly still get undercutting but it should be far less from bots, as a majority of botting folks try to minimize in game expenses.

the market could use a rework to deter bots

I really think the problem is that SE is TOO SLOW on the crack down of bots or RMT in general

For example, were I'm right now in the game the same bot has been for over a week... They shoul check the RMT reports and ban instantly

Other cause IMO is the server travel... actually the bot is from another world LOL
