Market Bots

@aaronjw76_PSN That is not a bot. That is me.
I wish it were human activity lol
-
I have in past years sent them screenshots with time stamps of stub transfers and nothing got done. Generic responses through email. SDS_Joek was the only one that asked for details and attempted to do anything. The transfers are so blatant but it all the manipulation continues.
-
Any update on this? I had the most fun I have had in the game last night flipping and didnt realize that it was due to bots not accessing companion app. Hoping bot activity is being reduced.

It's not just bots. Human idiots via the app also ruin flipping. They tank margins faster than the bots. At least bots are +/- 1 stub, not 500 lol

They aren't idiots for reducing prices by 500. In fact that's smart tactic to push prices lower to buy. I always put in 5 buy orders after intentionally bringing down the selling price by undercutting the lower selling bids by 500 stubs or so. Usually I can bait a seller to fall for it, and to keep outbidding me, pushing the price down to where I buy the 5 cards for cheap. Then withhold my selling card, and the price creeps up.
-
The new Aroldis definitely has a bot. Prices 1 over with two bids within 5s of mine. Stops bidding about with about less than 10% profit from current sales. I played with it enough to see where it stops bidding.
-
I also enjoyed watching it bid 2 times at 5k over anything else.... I held my bid and watched it buy 1 at 5k over then removed mine before it's second bid sold.
I was also able to remove its bids by lowering the buy price to within 1500 profit of current spread.
-
I think the bots might be back, at least to some degree. I'm running into some activity today that seems bot-like. The literal instant 1 stubbing and replacing an existing order within half a second of me outbidding them...that no human is fast enough to do.
-
They are definitely back. They are probably mass-buying collection cards to drive up the market, to coincide with the stub sale. They probably were specifically waiting for the stubsale to crank up their activity, to maximize profit at lowest risk
-
Live Paul Skenes has a bot, 1 stubbing in a second.
