The teleporting ones in the starter cities, again, I imagine there are easy and reported.

The market boys are easy to pick out, and took me 5 minutes through Lodestone to determine something wasnt on the level. So even a small team would be able to be competent enough to do that. Imagine if they had access to actual server data. If they are that against someone else making real money off their game, then spending a bit to stop it should be further up their priority list.

If they need pointers on how to do this, I and quite a few other crafters/sellers would be more than willing to help them out, for free.
You're right to a point. They do need to address the marketboard issue. I feel like SE fears that the MB will crash without bots. Some people are even saying they are getting paid off by the RMT companies. All I know is, it's sus af to ban accounts for RMT activity but leave the prominent and prevalent ones who have been on servers since the dawn. Some people are even saying the RMT/botters are SE itself. This is not facts but mainly gossip among my community.
