    Markets work off of supply and demand. Artificially generate supply (through botting), and you hurt market prices because supply exceeds demand. Also, you make it sound like botters work together, as opposed to compete with one another, which they do (gil spammers are often advertising competing websites).

    You are talking in circles. It still doesn't explain how glutting the markets benefits any RMT operation in FF14. While I can see it being damaging to someone trying to make gill as a gatherer and it could be viewed as an exploit, it's not tied to RMT or gill sellers.

    I just got a tell from one of the xzab chars trying to sell me crystals for RL cash. If that's the best they have to work with? They be screwed.
