I don't think Ragial should be an exception to the rules. It's still botting.
Here is my problem with Ragial. It's extremely easy for people to manipulate and raise the price of items.
Don't get me wrong I love just being able to search items, but people only vend for whatever the average price is on ragial. So if I farm moonlight flower I can use merchants to raise the price of spectral spears from 1.4mil to 3mil for example.
