Acount restricted back?
-
Hi everyone I’m a bot. I was buying and selling spotlight cards during a flash sale and was permanently restricted for my efforts. I’m not a particularly effective bot. But SDS has protected you all from my botty ways.
@sds_joek_psn any chance I’ll ever get out of jail? I checked this morning and it turns out I’m actually still human and just got unfairly punished for flipping.

Hello,
The restrictions on your account have been lifted.
Please keep in mind that marketplace activity is routinely monitored, and accounts may be subject to action if suspicious activity is detected.
If you ever feel like your account was restricted in error, don't hesitate to reach out to us again.
So basically don't flip on the app unless you want to risk beign restricted permanently.
Seriously great job SDS, any other ways you want to alienate your fan base this season?

@SDS_JoeK_PSN I just opened a Jumbo pack from mini seasons.
Whilst selling the dupes I was restricted 9 times.I don't use the app to buy/sell cards often, and that won't change given how poor this experience was.

Two god [censored] cards I posted and then got restricted..this is BS. Meanwhile there is 273 posted auctions for chase petty at 5200. Something has to change here.

Yup this exactly. This acount restricted bs is helping the bots not hindering them, at this point I say just shut down the app.
Instead SDS insists on banning people who actually bought their game for 100$ of dollars. Yes i'm annoyed.

From what I could tell, there were no restrictions this morning. I tried it with a low tier card, both posting a bunch and refreshing in the app.

Yeah, there are restrictions, trying selling. For some reason it's more restrictive to sell then it is to buy. Quick selling slightly faster than listing, listing sell orders is like driving a red hot nail through your eyeball.

I feel like bots are back in full force or maybe even more so now

After posting 5 sell orders this morning ,my app stopped processing transactions and I had an in-app restricted message.

@samguenther1987_PSN Except that it does hinder the bots, they run into the same restrictions as everyone else and can only do a few transactions every few minutes. Which is why the margins widen and the market has flowed better after an app update. It takes the bot makers a bit to do and push out adjustments.

Not really. Margins are non-existent this morning with tons of orders that net tiny margins that no human would post, while actual humans are restricted. Bots are still finding a way while we're getting capped.
-
@Gary-Hoggatt_PSN Just wait a few minutes, and it should work again for a few transactions. You just can't dump a ton of transactions on the market in a short amount of time any longer.

@PsylockeSmythe_XBL there's no point in fighting the app for 4 orders every couple of minutes while bots have killed margins. There's no reason for a 4 order a minute cap on humans while bots are running rampant anyway.

@Gary-Hoggatt_PSN I've not had any issues this morning selling my duplicates and most have been selling for way more than QS value. Granted I've only started working on my commons, but the sell prices haven't been close to the QS value like they have in the past.
I've not flipped cards in years and only sell my duplicates now, so how I look at the market, might not be how someone who flips cards looks at the market. So, for how I'm currently using it. The restrictions seem to be working, since I'm selling them for more than I would get selling them at their QS value.

@PsylockeSmythe_XBL I'm a flipper. I sell new packed dupes on console when opening the pack. The point of the app for me is flipping.
I tried putting in orders for a common now instead of the diamonds I'd been trying, and still for restricted at 5 buy orders. Same as posting 5 diamond sell orders earlier.
The entire point of the app is interacting with the marketplace (minor features like squad management and face scan aside), and it's just not functioning at that at all right now for actual humans.

I placed 4 orders yesterday and it was blocked. Awesome
-
New record for me this morning. Placed 2 orders and now I'm blocked and restricted again. They are making it hard to defend them and want to play this game. Wtf are they doing
-
@Gary-Hoggatt_PSN Trust me I understand.
It is just as I see it and I've posted the same thing in other threads, is that: a) they keep the app and remove the restrictions and the bots run the market, b) they keep the app, put transaction limits like now (4 transactions every few minutes), which makes things harder for the bots (won't remove then completely), but slows down everyone or c) remove the market from the app and website and make all market transactions have to be done via the console.
None of the above choices are great and each one has a major drawback that part of the player base will complain about being unfair or wrong, if it happens.
We are seeing it now. First, it was complaining that the bots are ruining the market and people can't place orders because the bots have taken over. Now it is people upset with the timeouts that do help control the bots, since they can't adjust or place unlimited orders in a short amount of time.
Just image what would happen if they make the market console only.

A all time low. I place 1 order and acount restricted.... 1 order. Are you kidding SDS?
