Market Bots
-
They aren't idiots for reducing prices by 500. In fact that's smart tactic to push prices lower to buy. I always put in 5 buy orders after intentionally bringing down the selling price by undercutting the lower selling bids by 500 stubs or so. Usually I can bait a seller to fall for it, and to keep outbidding me, pushing the price down to where I buy the 5 cards for cheap. Then withhold my selling card, and the price creeps up.
-
The new Aroldis definitely has a bot. Prices 1 over with two bids within 5s of mine. Stops bidding about with about less than 10% profit from current sales. I played with it enough to see where it stops bidding.
-
I also enjoyed watching it bid 2 times at 5k over anything else.... I held my bid and watched it buy 1 at 5k over then removed mine before it's second bid sold.
I was also able to remove its bids by lowering the buy price to within 1500 profit of current spread.

I think the bots might be back, at least to some degree. I'm running into some activity today that seems bot-like. The literal instant 1 stubbing and replacing an existing order within half a second of me outbidding them...that no human is fast enough to do.
-
They are definitely back. They are probably mass-buying collection cards to drive up the market, to coincide with the stub sale. They probably were specifically waiting for the stubsale to crank up their activity, to maximize profit at lowest risk

Live Paul Skenes has a bot, 1 stubbing in a second.

The market is terrible right now. Almost impossible to buy or sell cards. Not flipping, just trying to sell dupes and buy for collections. Constantly out bid. Never had this much trouble before.

I just started a bot vs bot war on the Acuna diamond bat. Been going on for a half hour

@rms1980rms_PSN And if the market is terrible, that makes Diamond Dynasty terrible as a result. I stopped playing Diamond Dynasty and worrying about collecting any stubs or cards outright. I am playing RTTS and just proper, regular season games with the real MLB rosters. SDS's lack of effort into controlling cheaters and bots have resulted in pushing people away from the Diamond Dynasty mode outright.
-
There is no way to flip cards because every single card has exactly 10% difference between sell and buy now eliminating any chance of profit. It's obvious what's going on." Nice try Ramone"
-
Bots are very obvious, even when I've gone down at random increments from the current sell now price(3,5,10 stubs), it gets instantly topped by a bot by one less stub.
