Is flipping broken?
-
Last year I made a ton of stubs flipping cards but anytime I try this year it feels impossible. I’ve seen other people say there’s market bots but idk.
-
It definitely feels harder than last year to turn a profit by flipping cards. Something is off for sure. I've seen people blame the app too, but I just don't know. Hate it tho
-
@LadySwampfox_XBL It is the app most likely.

Flipping is almost impossible this year, yes there are bots and they are everywhere.

I gave up immediately. There is no profit on any cards. The market isn't rising or sinking so you can't even be tactful and do the buy low sell high strategy. There is no more stacking cards for weekend classic or collection card releases...oh well. I wont let that stop me from enjoying the game. As long as we're all in the same boat idc lol

What are you all trying to flip? I've made 40-50K, each and every night, for the past month.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN What cards do you try buying. I am trying to get in on this flipping strategy
-
If anything broken in a good way I’ve flipped my way to all the lucrative cards in this game. I’ve had lucky pulls but flipping is where majority of influx of stubs come from.
-
You are in the minority then. I know you acknowledged your lucky pulls but most of us are struggling big time this year. Being off work since launch has allowed you to live on the game, plus all your lucky pulls, plus you are good/elite at the game.
So in summary your time and skill at the game puts you in a very small minority that really can’t relate at all this season to those of us that work and have family responsibilities, have had little to no lucky pulls, and are average at best at the game.
Not trying to call you out, but just saying I don’t think you fully understand the magnitude of the disconnect between players in your boat and us mere mortals that play the game when we can after a long day and feel like it’s been extremely unrewarding.
I’ve been playing for 7 years and this year has been by far the least rewarding. I pulled judge last year and that was my only huge pull in 7 years. I still completed all collections from 21-25 and barring a miracle it ain’t happening this year and if so it will be much later than ever before, talking December or later.
The game has fundamentally changed and I think you have been blind to that given your abundance of time, pulls and skill at this years game.

@TripleH-4481_PSN yeah all ur points are fair I do sometimes forget up in the upper echelon of play sometimes and tend to forget that some of the lower levels of the game can be far less rewarding. Currently trying to find a new job cause I doubt the construction company is calling me back now basically leading me on that they would… let’s just say jobs are hard to find now days just hoping I can find one soon.

My first year was ‘22 and I’ve always been NMS. Here’s when I competed LS collection each of those years:‘22-Aug 27
‘23-July 7
‘24-June 20
‘25-June 19
-26-not yet, but hopefully by May 31I didn’t even use the app to invest/flip for LS collection until ‘25. Flipping is still doable. Not sure how much time those guys spend on the app to flip but I can see it being done. I also have a family and often don’t have time to flip. My biggest pull was JRam. I haven’t done the math but i may have been able to do LS by now if i hadn’t pursued other collections. Still just need the big two with over 300k. Good luck to you and all NMSers!
-
I usually don't complete the LS collection until sometime around the all star break. This year with flipping not really being a viable option anymore, I'm still sitting at about 10 cards away from finishing. Definitely more difficult than it's been in the past, but I've managed to adjust and I'm still pretty close to my typical pace.
-
Yes ever since this 3rd inning has started I’ve not been able to hit big on flipping i know on record I’ve said it’s good before but i revoke my statement. It’s weird cause usally as the year progresses flipping becomes easier not harder. This year is just so broken on so many levels.
