We see this sort of automation with websites like EQEcon, but I
don't know = if there's automated software "going all the way."

There are design things you can do to reduce this. EQ is susceptible
becaus= e of its centralized player market (the Bazaar). Having
multiple markets wi= th some sense of distance between them can
hamper arriving at optimal price= s, for example. No centralized
market, and instead using player shops, woul= d put a serious dent
in it, I suspect.
