I've been seeing gold sellers spamming their wares in just about every major city on ragnarok. So bots are most likely providing their gold.

I swear this ticks me off. Not only do they bog down the servers even more but in a matter of months they will have destroyed the in-game economy. I've seen it happen in FFXI and RO. The community needs to work together to capture these characters on video to report them and have them stamped out. Parasites.
