Removal of Merchant Mode
We will soon remove the merchant mode feature from DOFUS 2 servers.
It is being removed following the implementation of the latest item categories in the Marketplace and the extensive work we are doing to improve the game systems for the UNITY port. Merchant mode is mainly used for nefarious purposes (selling slots, selling bot loot, scams, etc.).
It will be removed according to the following schedule:
During maintenance on December 6, all active merchant modes will be removed and the fees reimbursed. After that, players can no longer enter merchant mode, but items stored in merchant mode can still be withdrawn.
In the first quarter of 2023, during a maintenance session yet to be determined, the ability to enter merchant mode will be completely removed, and items that haven't been withdrawn will be returned to their owner's bank.

I guess it's more about the UNITY port than the scammers.
I'm willing to give it a shot, but only if it Actually proves to be efficient against bot farming. I don't see it though, and now, with so many fewer servers, it should be a lot easier to manually kick kama seller advertisers off on a regular basis; I would guess that would be more effective.
What will happen to the market maps? What will give those meaning? The charm of the Amakna market place will cease to exist.
I'm sticking with retro. assuming its staying there.
An account could only use merchant mode then a set "cool down" period of time before they could use it again.
Also add a coding restriction on prices for items eg: you could only sell an item for up to a certain % above average or top market value to stop people who use stupid priced items (like buckets of water for 3mil kamas) as a place holder in prime locations.
Along with restricting it to a certain character level and above, account achievement points on subscribed verified accounts, it would be easier to manage and weed out the bots.
