Market Bots
-
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.
