How is the Community Market feeling? (4)
-
I’m experiencing bot activity at similarly high rates that matches the majority of the year.
Most margins on cards have dried up and the player market is ruled by bots again after the brief respite after the update last week. I Appreciate the communication @manu__sds_mlbts hoping for another update this next week. Thank you!

the current restriction might set you back for 30 seconds (or 60 if you don't see the first cooldown warning) but there is nothing else "permanent" that will happen automatically
Every weekend when there's a game update
App and Website are affected by the same server cycles
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS That’s good to know, thanks! I was mainly worried that repeatedly refreshing or trying again while the server is lagging could lead to something more serious.
I feel better about using the website now. I’ll see how it behaves during the next update.
-
The margins have dried up because there is no bots. Bots were creating the margins.
-
@Beaterrr_XBL I don’t think this is true at all. At least when it comes to player cards. More bots means the margins get smaller and smaller as the bots repeatedly underbid/overbid the human offers. Plus it’s really easy to see how active the bots are right now. I can send proof on any card with a positive margin right now.
-
This is 100% the case. Bots destroy margins and they open up once bots are disabled via the update.

Market was doing great but the bots are coming back strong as usual. Posting hundreds of orders on 2026 all star cards alone and completely crashing margins and manipulating the market. Appreciate the effort to combat them but eliminating non console transactions would fix this as no one is gonna putt in 700 orders manually at 5555 stubs. Pressing a single button 700 times just makes it way too easy.
-
It's taking forever to place orders, a lot of fetching data wheel spinning. It's making me dizzy bro watching that wheel spin.

Last week’s changes got rid of a lot of bots activity but it is not enough. There should be ZERO bots active in the marketplace. Look at all the cards that are won on diamond quest in the marketplace. They all have bots. They have always all had bots.
Please give an update on what’s happening with anti bot measures. I think I’m getting the picture that it’s not a priority. Updates are good but action is better. I know that there is more that can be done and for whatever reasons sds dialed it back. Seems like sds gave up again or is fine with the amount of bots active atm. It’s really a disgrace how unprotected players are in this games marketplace. Some of them spend real money to get stubs that get spent in an ecosystem corrupted by bots operated by thieves.

Hey @manu__sds_mlbts , noticed last night significant bot activity on the silvers. Looks like they've moved down to try and avoid suspicion. Instantaneous one-up bids and undercuts, then removed just as fast once humans remove their bid.
-
@manu__sds_mlbts hope you’re doing well! Any update before the weekend would be greatly appreciated.

Hey SDS bots on everything in the market, you are failing miserably, they are laughing at you.
