On my server prices go up when the bots get banned.

Prices going up or down is not a reason to allow bots. Bots violate everything about playing an MMO and player driven game-play.
If you want bot then get ESO to make them legal then everyone can use them and be on the same playing field.
Other games that have had such a bad run of bots had gamers finally force the developers hands by posting continuously where to find the bot software and how to use it.. At this rate something like that may just happen here.

I believe the point was that prices didn't go up because of bots as your original post suggested. They normally drive prices down.
In the last 2 weeks I have seen potents go from less than 1000 to over 5000 for sale. It is no coincidence that I have also reported NUMEROUS times NUMEROUS bots running uncontested in Craglorn.
Could you please try and do something. It is fundamentally wrong that players can't farm a node because 2, 3 or four bots are running unchallenged clearing out the nodes.

At least on PC there is some form of a market since you can get an addon that will tell you which trader has the cheapest cost of what you are looking for.

I never said anything about prices. I said the number for sale. Please do not put words in my post that are not there.

we NEED bots. Mats would be SO expensive otherwise, making it hard for new players, and therefore killing the game population, and ultimately killing the game. ZOS knows this, as do all game devs. They'll remove bots, but not kill the root cause, so bots can come back.
we NEED them, i promise you. I hate them as much as the next guy, but this is just as things are... the moment they made nodes not instanced, they doomed the game to this stupid need. Farming got too hard for anyone to casually do it, so only "farmers" with gear and experience can do it, and bots. competition is too fierce and there are VERY few mat farmers.

Bots harvesting stuff ahead of the farmers is one of the primary reasons farming is harder than it should be.
Saying that bots are beneficial because they make stuff cheaper is not that far off from stating that getting XP to level characters is too time consuming and we should be allowed to use bot programs to level our toons while we're away, or that fishing is too hard and we should have bots controlling our characters to do all the fishing while we're off watching a movie instead.
I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who want the easy way out of playing their own characters and wanting a way to coast to the top without having to participate.
But allowing bots to control the markets and prices cheats the players who are doing the farming and selling the goods they don't want/need.
