How is the Community Market feeling (8)

@SiberiaTigerCub_PSN apologies. I don’t mean to sound like blocking an entire country would be helpful… It would not. I meant to emphasize that I think the most effective thing to do would be blocking unwanted traffic at the source - more aggressively.
-
@Oliver230230230_PSN I agree with that, but you also aren’t wrong either. I think many of the stub transfer sites for this game and other sports titles are indeed operating out of here in Russia. There are also legitimate players like myself who earn stubs legitimately too here.

I think bots are also finding ways to make it look like they are humans. Instead of immediately outbidding or underselling my orders, it waits 3 to 5 seconds to do so. That makes me go to some other screen and assume my order is good. However, in reality it’s not and I’m still outbid. I’ve been in amusing bidding wars with who I believe are humans, but I think bots are now making themselves look like humans with these little intentional delays.

I have a question I haven’t been able to find an answer to anywhere. A actually solution/explanation will be very much appreciated.
I dowloaded the mlb the show companion app on my iPhone. I signed in with my Xbox account thats linked to my sds account and email is verified and everything.
My issue is that I’ve been buying and selling cards. But the app sends me to “market verification” screens every 20-30 mins, like literally I have to keep signing in to verify my account. I Recently I got locked out of being to buy or sell cards on the companion app for 5 hours because I had “too many verification attempts”
My question is, why does the app make me verify my account so many times? It always leads to me being locked out for long periods of time.
P.S: i do not buy and sell cars super fast, so I shouldn’t be flagged as a bot, that is my frustration why I don’t understand why this is happening.

Diamond pro collection batting gloves is being bottet!!!

@PLY24MKR_XBL The market is pretty much all bots again. I’ve just adjusted my habits to not engage with the market when it’s overrun with bots. It’s a shame, but it’s unusable when like this.

I’ve been down this road all season, and honestly, it’s infuriating. You can report it, call it out, and be rightfully pissed about how unfair and corrupt it is. That’s what you should do. I’ve practically begged SDS to address it. It ruins the marketplace, hurts legitimate players, and steals revenue from the very people making the game. It’s cancer to the game, and the lack of meaningful action has honestly taken a lot of the fun out of it for me. Just don’t expect reporting it to make you feel any better.
The unofficial advice? Pay attention to which cards are being used and how their prices move. If you happen to have 20x of them from when they were cheap, listing yours well below the bots’ inflated prices can be a pretty easy way to cash in while their activity is happening. When bots make it impossible to compete in a normal market, sometimes your best bet is to piggyback on their activity. If you can’t beat em, join em? Pretty lame and ridiculous that this is where we are at, but hey, here we are. -
Howdy! New accounts are subject to increased verifications, that's one of many ways to slow down he influx of bad actors.

Saw the Lindy Diamond Bat Skin stub transfered for almost 12 hours yesterday. Its not as bad but still seeing bots.

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS @sds_joek_psn
Did the phase III thing ever go into effect? Stub transferring is happen on lots of cards the past few days. Lots of cards. My guess is stub transferring has been spread out to many different cards for shorter bursts of time to avoid detection and/or showing up on sites like showzone that track market activity. After the bots do its transferring business they populate the bid sheet with 10-15 listings to avoid tipping people off to the cards they are using over and over and over for this. Can’t cover up the completed history tho. Anyways, I’m pretty tired of talking about the bots. It’d be awesome if you guys could tighten up filters before this weeks flash sale. -
Howdy!
Thank you @oliver230230230_psn (and others) for your service!
I have a few new tricks almost ready to go, stay tuned.
-
@Manu__SDS_MLBTS look into the Diamond Bat Skins Tatis El Nino and Lindy12T. Both are being heavily transfered the past few days.

Howdy!
