Hello!
I'm posting here as my last resort since I've several times reported to Square Enix with absolutely no response and I'm about to unsubscribe and never touch this game ever again.
There is 1 bot with 7 retainers in Louisiox that sells Exarchic and Aesthete's gear and undercuts by 1, on the clock, in 3-5 minute cycles. 24/7. The ONLY times it stops is when the game updates which generally breaks bots / ACT, etc.
To test it in full i spent 2 entire days crafting 44 pieces of exarchic gear.
As you know, crafted gear pieces have the name of the character that crafted them written on it when hovering over it.
I have an excel spreadsheet where i update the current market price of every single item i have on sale.
The bot LITERALLY undercuts by the time i update the prices on my 44 items in the spreadsheet and go to my retainers to update them.
I've tested it at different times of the day, 2am, 4am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 6pm, etc. It does this without fault 24/7, without fail.
It is PHYSICALLY impossible for this to be a person doing it without bot assistance.
And please dont say "just undercut them really low and buy them out LOL", this is not a super dumb bot, it has a price floor at around material costs and doesn't go under them.
Moreso, the amount of gil this bot generates is INSANE, just from the items I listed there's 5-10 sales a day for each piece, at prices ranging from 80k to 350k gil per piece. 99% of those sales come from that single bot, the only way anything else sells is in the EXTREMELY lucky occasion when someone buys an item right after someone else updated their price without the bot having done their undercutting cycle yet, and since it does it like clockwork, the chance of that happening
Let's just say that each piece sales for 120k gil in average:
8 retainers * 20 items * 120k * 5 sales a day = 96,000,000 gil / day. THIS IS A LOW ESTIMATE since items go for more than 12k generally and the bot sells more than 5 a day for most items.
This bot has been operating since at least 3 months ago when I first reported it.
In that time it has probably made around 8,640,000,000 GIL. that is 9 BILLION gill.
This is very clearly an RMT front and i cant be bothered to check if it happens on other servers as well. It should be INCREDIBLY easy for Square Enix to check the logs and realize that this level of market activity is IMPOSSIBLE. But alas, my reports and that of my friends who also craft have gotten no response whatsoever.
