After Beltran collections I'm......
-
....done with chasing the big collections. I will just start enjoying the game for what it is and earn cards through gameplay and occasionally go after smaller collections of my favorites that I like to use. I'm tired of implementation of different strategies in the marketplace to slow down bots only to fail and I get punished for using the marketplace that are within the parameters of ToS. Now I have to improve my risk score in order to buy/sell on the marketplace even though I was doing that within the parameters of ToS to begin with. There is nothing in the ToS that says you can't mash that finalize order faster than greased lightning, if there is please direct me to it and I will be stand corrected. All these freaking hoops that need to be jumped through now to buy/sell on the app is way overly convoluted. It's becoming more complicated than it really needs to be.
I'll continue to do some gold exchanges but my engagement with the app will be less, hoping 50% less than what it was. I'm tired of getting my knuckles smacked for buying and selling and exchanging within SDS's own written ToS.
SDS you need to go after the demons who are really are doing you all harm the content creators who are promoting the 3rd party sites.
SDS stop hunting for the demons under rocks by cooling down honest players for 22 hrs that are abiding by your own thought out and written rules. All the while those demons are right in front of you on the screen on YouTube literally telling people to cheat and steal from you. If that wasn't bad enough they'll say if you get caught do like we do create an alt account and go out and buy more discounted stubs ffrom whatever 3rd party site and you'll be back to where you were in no time. I think SDS, that is called biting your nose off to spite yourselves.
I saw in a post on here, I don't remember where it was or who said it, but it was something like this in not so many words this is the gist of it, the time, attention and resources spent hasn't slowed down the bots, the 3rd party sites adjust the script and they are back to creating havoc again. The post goes on to say and it was a run on sentence so I'm guessing this would be sentence two. That resources and time spent would have been better spent fixing the game itself to be more playable, more content ect. That's a really good and interesting thought. I hope this could be a lightbulb moment for the ones in charge at SDS. Unfortunately, the lightbulbs have been switched out for dollar bills and that's why nothing is working right now.

Don’t fall for the trap that you need the “best” cards to compete online. It’s all rng. Pick players with good swings and you will do just as good. I have an all dodgers team with some 92’s on it and compete just fine.

It’s frustrating when the people who play by the rules get punished. I was falsely restricted earlier this year - and if I’m going to get put in timeout for flipping as well, something has to change.
I’m not technical enough to understand, but common sense tells me there should be a way to determine human activity from bot activity. And if it’s not possible, then maybe a complete overhaul of the app, marketplace, etc may be needed.
I’m not super worried about the rest of this year, personally. My stub count is fine and I don’t need to flip a ton. But if the same stuff continues into ‘27 and I’m not able to flip early game… that’ll be a major issue for me.
The main problem right now is the content creators are continuing to promote the sites. Console and IP ban them. Do it to the content creators and to the people who are for sure buying the third party stubs. Threaten lawsuits. They need to go super aggressive to make it stop. It’s ruining the experience for the people who don’t break the rules.
