Bots ruining the market?
-
I'm not a conspiracy guy, but for fun I was still flipping in 21 way past the life cycle ended and it was moving very rapidly. I'd make 100k in 10 mins. That can't be organic can it? Asking for a friend...no I don't need a tin foil hat. Also, can we come up with a new cliche for this concept?

Every transaction is taking 10% of the stubs out of circulation. The more the merrier I say. That keeps my stub value higher as I don't flip. I'm more an IRA type. Long term, maintaining inventory, selling when needed.
The app is working as intended and is a great feature of the game. Don't cry because you aren't making money anymore. It doesn't wear well folks.
I'm a huge fan of capping orders at 100 or 150.

There's still stubs to be made. The problem is too many people are watching YouTube videos titled "from 20k to 200k stubs in 1 hour!!" I guess it never crossed their mind that those videos are heavily edited.

This will be the first year I won't be able to flip cards to finish collections. Last year I completed LS in the first month and able to make 50k-75k a day easily even just on equipment. This year you can hardly make 50 stubs flipping anything.

That is what organic looks like. The end of the year the there are fewer players and no need for Bots. Those folks are already done playing.

No tinfoil hat my buddy had a guy on discord who made a site that could just auto flip cards on 21 basically just all the stubs you want at the push of a button
Yep. Im on that discord channel. It's real. The guy made a google chrome extension/plugin that basically does all the work for you. You just have to click a couple buttons.
EDIT: Its out for 22 now too.
I'm still waiting for my script lol

I sold Sherz for 125k, bought him back for 65, sold him again for 80.

I don’t see anywhere there are bots. I’ve put my order on the wrong side of the buy/sell and have had about 10 seconds to fix it before somebody bought my card for one stub more than the current bid. Meaning the 22,000-19000 gap had a buy now at 19001 and I didn’t go through. A bot would snipe that within a second.
And like mentioned you can literally just click a button and keep putting in the same order on the app. I would assume people use multiple accounts to have more orders available but that’s a whole other thing.

I get why there wouldn't need to be bots but who is buying and selling in 21 right now? I played after 22 was out and bought and sold cards incredibly fast and the margins are unreal. 10k a flip....easy. How is that happening so quickly in a game that for all intents and purposes has no player base now?

there was a few people on here recently talking about how they think they can buy up enough of the stock of certain cards to change the value.. However i have tried this a few times over the years and its almost never worked by the time you get all the buy orders through plenty of other people have already reposted them most of the time
