The Exploitation & Monopolization of Monsters for Money

[Vespar]

I have seen dozens of people monopolizing monsters EVERY DAY in multiple locations for various items used in Weaving/Leatherworking synthesis recipes and so on. These people round up all the monsters and mow them down with BLM aoe spells or use Bot scripts. Then they sell the items on the market boards for inflated amounts of gil, and buy up all the lower priced materials and resell them at inflated costs.

The videos posted below reference what I mean in regards to the exploits. These people openly "acknowledge" on Youtube that they exploit these monsters. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. To those crafters affected by the Market Board prices/Monopoloization you have my sincerest apologies. As a BLM, I would never sink this low and it really pains me to see others doing this..

Square Enix, I really hope you fnd a way to combat this soon please!

As a suggestion, maybe make it so that players who do sufficient damage on a monster, be it claimed by them or someone else, also get a share of loot? Just a thought....
