Is It The Bots?

The Show Wars: The Bots Strike Back
-
Well you have to realize how many people all over the world are playing this game. I would say that most of the time it is just other people.
-
I believe the bots are SDS so that people will get frustrated and buy Stubs. I will never buy stubs as it is way to easy to earn packs and stubs but some people cave.
-
You realize those other people think YOU'RE the bot.
It's always happened to some extent. I just think as more people become market-savvy, more people play the market exactly the same as you.
-
I’m not even really playing the market. Just trying to buy a card I need or sell a card I don’t.
-
Why is it that every time I put in for a Buy or a Sell on a card, it seems like a dozen people either undercut my sell price almost immediately or overbid my Buy price? Is it really bots? I don't get it, but it's extremely frustrating. I don't remember this happening in previous seasons, or, if it did, not to this extent.
It's bots, I just reported it again. It's been awful today, of course as soon as I get close to having both Stanton and Berkman.... guess I hope for the Flash Sale to drop their prices because orders are definitely not going through
-
Ran into that on draft today. trying to buy the 6 97s I still needed, they were down to 11.5 ish buy and 9700 ish sell. There were possible bots on 2 of them but I think it was mostly ppl trying to do the same thing I was, get them to finish the collect before the prices spike.
Note: cancelled them all and came back a couple hours later and didn't have any trouble getting them, only about 1k each more than earlier.
Not upset cause under 10 was probably too low.Sometimes it's bots , sometimes it's ppl, and sometimes it's both.

On new cards, people. On older cards, bots. I don't care how many people play this game there is no way possible that some random person halfway across the world is just waiting to under/over bid you by a stub as often as it happens. There's a program they use where cheaters put a max and minimum bid in and it will constantly move their bid +/- 1.
You would have an easier time convincing me it's SDS marketplace manipulation, then believing it's some random person.
I am NOT saying that it is SDS! But....
JK!

They are all over the equipment tonight, put a order in and the bots one up you, take your order down and raise it and theres the bot again instantly, put it back down again and the bot is there again.
None of my orders are moving.
-
There are definitely bots in the marketplace. No human could cancel and enter orders as fast as the bots. I go back and forth on who it is since it doesn't get fixed. This has been going on since last year. It's worse this year.
-
One of many things that is much worse this year.

@samguenther1987_PSN I picked up Berkman the other day, when there were other drops, for around 110k. I was pretty excited to get him and I really like the card in the times that I have used it.
-
You can sometimes beat them by driving the price up or down then putting in a bid that is a stub more or less then the second winning bid.

Got Berkman today and i have 100k saved away for Stanton, + the cards in saved for investment purposes.
So with that finished (i'm missing 10 cards, 7 of them from programs i already have completed, the other 3 beign Lieter, Harper and Perdomo)
I am now done market until the bots can be controlled a bit. Might check in on Friday when the new program drops.

It makes sense because Sunday is the HOF introduction so I guess like the Home Run Derby and All Star game SDS wants to line it up.

Oh,it makes perfect sense, that's when the induction ceremony is.
The part that feels weird is that it's a drop on a weekend day, don't get many of those.
