Market Bots
-
I'm frustrated as someone who flips legitimately mostly common cards at quicksell value ... Purchasing cards between 5 and 9 stubs and selling them for over 25.... I do this process every night for about 5,000 stubbs of investment... It was easily netting me 30 to 70K stubs a day... Well I got put on a restricted list and now I can't flip any cards... All because I do this before I go to bed every night... Ridiculous. I think I'm finally done with this franchise. It doesn't even look good, and there's errors all over the place... It looks like they heavily relied on AI to make this game, that or they have a bare bones staff that has no chance of keeping up.... The product is truly getting worse every year and less consumer friendly every year... I'm sorry I'm not putting $1,000 in this game just so I complete collections before the All-Star break... And now they don't even allow you to flip cards... Thankfully I've already gotten Ohtsni, judge and JRAM... But this makes me not even want to play.. I literally sell every card that I get... Because I'm trying to purchase the cards that are continuing to increase in value.... I guess they didn't like that..

@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN it's whopping not whooping .. you're driving me nuts lol
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN How about the people being restricted on the app who haven’t broke anything in the TOS? Can anyone respond and give an explanation?
-
@Stinkysman77_MLBTS I'm Russian, and English isn't my first language. Sorry to offend.
-
@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN didn't offend at all...that's why I put the "lol"
-
Btw. Whatever they are doing is helping. Was able to get some good margins today for the first time in a year without being outbid every 4 seconds. Still some, but not nearly as many as there was on launch. Keep it going guys. DONT STOP (pause)
-
@SpecialFrosty_PSN but the question is .will you be caught up in their net?
-
I’ve been restricted now for going on 30 hours and still haven’t heard anything from SDS. This is an absolute joke
-
After everything I’ve seen the last couple days, sticking exclusively to console, occasionally on my PC. Staying away from that app for now lol
-
@SpecialFrosty_PSN that's the thing
.they need to explain the parameters -
There are 100% bots on the market still, look at the completed history for items like Chop Slam RH1, hundreds of completed transactions in less than 5 mins. Lots of equipment or unlockables do this at different times throughout the day.

I'm out of the loop. Haven't been on the forums since last year.
Not doubting anyone's claims here, but how can bots be making transactions on the market? How does that even work? I've noticed some suspicious timing of bids while I've been wheeling and dealing on here, but I thought it was from just multiple people being on the market at the same time. Can someone enlighten me please.

Redacted by staff. We should keep details on how these things work off of the forums. Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Our aim is to maintain a healthy marketplace experience for all players. To that end, we closely track marketplace activity to ensure that accounts operating outside of certain parameters are addressed.
With this in mind, we recently made changes to our processes for identifying and addressing bot and other automated activity on the website and companion app.
If you believe your account was restricted in error as a result of these changes, we encourage you to reach out to Support. Each case will be reviewed individually.
We appreciate your understanding.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN Thank you for posting this, may I ask what the certain parameters are?
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN What are the parameters? I'm restricted from manually flipping cards, and it would be fair to the legitimate users to have an answer rather than getting caught in the same loop and reopening markets to us. Also, will there ever be an end to the botting situation? As cards are rising it takes more time for us to flip cards and earn stubs and it seems these bot are doing this in seconds. Just not fair to the legit community of players.

Bots are much better right now than they have been. Not perfect yet but im not seeing as much nano bid behavior as I had.
-
@aaronjw76_PSN I agree, alot better but I am still seeing some instant outbids which is what ive seen commonly with the bots. Normal players will bid 1+or- but not instantly.
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN How do you change parameters, not say anything to the community and then ban a bunch of regular people not using bots?
-
@GoozeFn_PSN they acknowledged it may have happened mistakenly...I can accept that...the issue was it took so long for then to acknowledge the community...and yes ..the parameters need to be explained.
