That’s the thing though, they are >>>possibly<<< cheating. It is extremely unlikely that someone is just sitting their all day every day checking the market board and undercutting items… but it is possible…again however unlikely.

The devs have an innocent until proven guilty stance. There is no way for the devs to determine if that person is just a real weirdo who loves selling stuff, or a bot.

There is no good answer here. Either a) the devs have some kind of cheat detection software which they are against (and indeed can be a huge problem to do in Japan), or b) they start allowing bans for suspicious activity which means truly innocent people will get banned.

The Eureka bots are in a similar situation- unless they are teleporting around or doing something a normal player couldn’t do, there is no way for the GMs to see cheating.
