There are some players out there who abuse the market board by using auto trade bots. How do I know this? One player in particular (tracked by the signature on crafted gear) was tracked by me and some friends for 3 days straight. We all listed items and this player would undercut us within 15-20 minutes every time. We lower the price, they do the same... once an hour for 3 days straight. It is not humanly possible for one person to be able to adjust the price of their listed items at least once an hour for 3 days.
Not only that, but I have identified over 30 retainers that this person uses REGULARLY to list their items. I googled the person's name and found their FC and it is filled with characters under lvl 30. This person is abusing the two free retainers per character system to list an unending number of items, all managed by some trade bot.
I have reported this player to Square Enix and nothing has been done. I even gave a list of 31 retainers that this person uses regularly -- that I have seen all over the market board selling dozens of items, all of which are undercutting the next seller by 1 gil!!! I have been dealing with this person for weeks. No matter what time of day I log in, this person will undercut by 1 gil in 20 minutes or less.
Square Enix does not do enough to protect the markets from people who abuse the system. I pay for two extra retainers, for years.. and now I feel like a chump because I could have created a dozen characters, created my own FC, and had dozens of free retainers to flood the markets with. Why won't Square Enix do anything about this??
