This is the problematic perspective people have right now.

On the surface, the result to all this botting is "we get things cheaper". But what will you get to sell then if you have bots constantly undercutting you? What happens when new players come into this game wanting to make a few mil but literally can't?

There's more pressure to resort to RMT under the circumstances that exist now, and that pressure is being put on by RMT sellers. When people buy those 5000 wind crystals for 100k that was farmed by bots, that goes directly into the pockets of an RMT seller to redistribute.

Don't get stuck on the simplicity of things, botting has cascading effects.
