I don't give a shit about people using bots. They can ruin their own game experience.
I do care about clowns flooding the market with Bot Found Items, ruining my game experience.
Finally someone else writing sense.

People have given you constructive answers time and time again, and you either "plug your ears" or write a page-long essay about why you think they’re sociopaths for saying you’re wrong.
You’re not "onto something", your mental issues are just winning over you.
How are they ruining your game experience exactly? Are you seeking profit just like them - but realized you’re inefficient?
Lol, nice dodge.
Because they get it for free while i have to work 10-20 times as hard for the same progress. It is unfair.
It is also disrespectful to the game designers.

the problem is you constantly suggest stuff like voting pools and threads to expose people. but 90% of users on the site dont mind bots or autoshops. so you cant reliably use voting polls or blacklist threads, because only 10% of people will use them while 90% put in troll votes or names for the blacklist.
at some point you just have to recognize that your opinion isnt just unpopular, its wildly unpopular. WILDLY. the 2-3 people per thread that agree with you dont outweigh the 20-30 people that like cheap botted items. people that buy FG and dont give a shit about selling item, etc. your argument that you should get paid XXXfg/hour of mfing isn't valid when most people dont MF and just buy FG. you may not like it, but your opinion is heavily outweighed.
Ethics is ethics, wrong is wrong and right is right. Even if 100 000 users disagreed with me, i wouldn't change my mind. If people played clean, the game would be more fun for everyone. Now it's just a money racket. What's the fun in that?

What exactly is the difference between these two? On a trading forum, we are all trying to maximize our own gains and minimize our losses - ie. seeking profits. I don't think there is anything wrong or "unclean" about that.
I give cheap deals to poor users, when i can afford it. I also take the time to give items of worth to low level newbies in game all the time (Tyr_Gull). And evil and greedy users i charge higher prices when i can, to balance out the system. It is probably a drop in the ocean, but i can set an example.
The "uncleanliness" comes when someone gets items for free when others must work 10-20 hours for the same progress, if not double or triple that.

Because it was worth more, in my opinion.
