    Exactly what my headline says. I find it ridiculous that if say I put in an order it gets 1 upped instantly. Or Even when I test upping my buy order buy 200 stubs, im instantly 1 upped. I have to literally add an extra 800 to 1000 stubs to a buy order to stop it and that's practically at the buy now price. I feel it should be against some rule to allow that sort of market manipulation. Sometimes I feel its the seller of the a card that's driving up the sell now price in order to max stubs.

    I used to complain a lot a few years back about the game but I chose this year to go with the flow for the most part. Im giving the benefit of the doubt that all the bugs will be corrected and we will have a smooth game but this bot buying stuff is obnoxious. Attack me all you want, its not going to change how I feel when I literally buy the game every year and simply want to enjoy my time playing it. Battlefield 6 and Crimson Desert are always there to fall back on when frustration hits me with the game.

    What makes you think those are bots doing that? I’m a person and when I list something to buy/sell, I’m almost always doing exactly what you’re describing. And I’m just a dude playing game and I have to think there are 10’s of thousands of other dudes doing the same thing. I think you’re confusing a rational market with a bot and I doubt that’s true. Not even sure what a bot would gain by doing what you’ve described.

    Because I tested it multiple times this morning at 6am on a Spring card pitcher Sloan. It was almost comical. Once I posted 800 to 1000 more stubs it stopped. When I then delete that amount and put another buy order for a few stubs more, instantly I was 1 upped.

    @tear4eddy_PSN No human is capable of removing an order and placing a new order within a fraction of a second...without some sort of tool or macro or bot. If you're a really quick human, you might accomplish it in 2-3 seconds.

    Well, I think that sort of goes against your point. A bot would blindly one up. A rational human would what for that overpriced bid to go through and post a lower one.

    The bots exist. When you run into one it’s obvious. I’ve also found where one can download and deploy one. I don’t do it, but I found them as confirmation.

    Add in menu times to scroll to a player we’re talking 5 minutes per card sold in this iteration, as a human. It has to be bots there’s no other explanation.

    @jeffstified_XBL Wrong man, You're not fully grasping the simplicity of this scenario. But its ok, im working at the moment and don't have excess time to dumb it down again.

    If people don't believe or even try to argue against it then I next would assume you're one of the people using some bot to purchase cards for you.

    @Onix_Savage22_PSN I didn’t ask for advice. I’m a big boy and know the rules. As I said until I saw one I didn’t believe it. Call me Thomas, but I had to put my fingers in the holes on this one.

    This is America where capitalism is the order of the day. Take that pinko commie ball back to red china, they'll squash those bots for you.

    I think you just need to look at the margins between buy and sell. They are almost always dead on 10% give or take. It's no coincidence. Of course SDS don't want you making profit of any kind, I've given up trying to grind stubs and just focusing on practising on how to fit fly balls to the outfield.
