You EVER going to FIX the BOTS in the market
-
Very true, I don’t flip, I only sell off duplicates that are worth it and buy cards I want. I have around 10k completed orders.
-
I'll say this again, the only real way I see that they can fix this is to remove the marketplace from the app and webpage. Both are too easy for people to setup scripts and macros to do automated transactions.
That is why when the app is down, the marketplace starts to normalize until the app starts working again and then it goes back to frustrating.

Totally agree. As much as I used to like the app I’m good with it being closed down if it normalizes the market. As it stands now the market is being heavily manipulated by bots at least 6 out of 7 days so I’m over it. As Jon Taffer used to say “shut it down”.

Last night on a couple items, and even throughout the day- the bots were going crazy. They can now add, adjust and remove original bids simultaneously. I think I'm on board with the "Turf the App" idea. Sucks, because I used to flip on my lunch break years ago and make easy 40-50k in a half an hour...but it's the time's we live in I suppose. Few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us

@DrBear100_PSN they will never shut down the app. The app doesnt exist to aid us as players. It exist so sds can farm and sell our data. Its all about squeezing every penny they can out of their customers.

Kinda paradoxical if you think about it. We as consumers are on the app farming stubs while SDS is farming our data but they can control how many stubs we are able to earn but we have little control on how much data they can earn. We'll, I am not sure what or how much data they are farming from us but I'm sure however much data (whether miniscule or a lot) they get from us is definitely worth more in real world dollars than the 5 million stub limit we have in the game

@Ericulous1_XBL I think flipping on console might be safe? I've never had a problem flipping there before. Though I must say the controls are sensitive this year.
I hope you get your account un-restricted soon, man. This sucks. If you haven't, I'd reply to the automated email you got after you sent your ticket and ask for an update.

@Sarge1387_PSN SAME! I saw the same thing going on. Flipping on the app used to be fun—I did it so much during my down time in college. Just sat in the library and flipped away. It's a shame that the bots are destroying the integrity the market used to have, and it's getting innocent users restricted.

What data are they selling that we did not already give them access to when we log into the console or the game itself?

@Dolenz_PSN phone usage stuff - not sure if I can share research/media on that in here since it isn’t really related to the game but companies exploiting access to phone data through apps has been going on for a bit

@Dolenz_PSN phone usage stuff
As much as I agree with what @dolenz_psn said, this makes sense as to why they pushed through that horrendous mobile game- probably saw how many people using the app and thought "Hey Beavis, this is a great idea!"

Well the companion app itself on the Android Play store states that it shares no data with third parties.
It just boils down to whether you want to actually believe it or not.
The mobile game is a different matter. It says it does share data, but how much of that is legit and required for the game to operate and what, if any, is sold is anybody's guess.

I've sent them screenshots of it happening, place a order for 1050 bot puts it's order in for 1051, remove the order of 1050 and make it the normal 950, bot erases it's order and makes one of 951.... it's like they arnt even trying to get the cards anymore just block people from getting cards.
Yea, just had an adventure selling deGrom. Every time I put in the order it was undercut before I got back to the screen. Highly doubt this is a human. Had to go 400 stubs under and that seemed to work but costing legit players stubs. Hard enough to get stubs with dealing with this [censored] too.
