There is a rampant problem with the bots or what you called "reckless mining" or "macro-accounts" It is super obvious that these are not real players and they do not have the necessary stats to even run these missions to get these Damascus Steel. This is a major disruption to the game's economy and Nexon should be doing something about it.

Here is an example of some of these bots

They are clearly bots due to them only ever equipping the very first pieces of gear that you get and never changing for upgrading their gear. This gear is insufficient to even run the content to get these items so they must be abusing the system to instantly kill these bosses breaking the game.

The vast majority of these bots are also in multiple guilds filled with more bots to bot more efficiently getting bonus cores and runs

Listing pages and pages of these kinds of listings

Clearly, fatigue has barely done anything to stop them and they continue to abuse the market. If you are doing something about this, make a weekly report or something to show that something is being done. In KR there is weekly ban reports showing that something is being done while nothing is ever shown here. All we see is the massive infestation on the marketplace with no signs of things improving.

    I want to contribute this video where I just spent 12 minutes at the marketplace looking at the "players" who listed new steel. 6 bots listed steel in that time period at or near the lowest price. The video description has timestamps for when each bot listing was found.
