Well, this changes everything. My assumption had been that you were
worried about being making huge amounts of cash and skill gains with
bots. What you seem to be describing here is a situation where an
enormously rich player decides to spend it all buying up all the iron
and smithing it at a probable loss. Stopping people who've become bored
with the game and aren't worried about spending all their money is a
more difficult issue.
