I thought the market bot posts were wrong
-
Not sure what y'all are talking about.
I just flipped around 20 orders of 10 cards each and did it all in less than an hour.
It does seem better now, hopefully this holds. I would applaud SDS if they can actually fix this
-
it's definitely a problem.
-
I've also come across this. It is unfortunate for sure. Bots, cheaters. It's a stupid video game. I don't get why people do this.
-
Ok, right now I see 89 orders for 35012 and 85 for 35011 for the same card. Hard to believe that five different people put buy orders for that exact amount and another five different people for the other amount. That’s the kind of thing we used to see before the limit of 20. But how can that be now? Are stub selling sites with multiple accounts using the same exact amount on the same card? And a competitor doing the same thing trying to undersell them?
Another card has 122 orders for 15002. Very, very fishy.

@PAinPA_PSN yeah but they will never get rid of the app, its not enough to just sell you a game and microtransactions, they want to sell as mich of your data and info as possible.
Also having their product on our phones is the ultimate engagement.

@go4stros25_PSN Yep, the bots are so obvious, and you are correct, it's always 2 bids and one stub above. And if you outbid the bot, those 2 bids are instantly back to 1 stub above your bid. SDS needs to resolve this, as I am at the point where i am dumping Diamond Dynasty, and just playing the non game as a service modes. And if that's the case, no point in buying next year's version, as I can just keep playing this version of the game for years to come for baseball game itch.

@go4stros25_PSN
Your are correct, the bots are in any game that has in-game currency, and in this case Stubs. This is not just a MLB the Show problem, it has engulfed the entire gaming industry. Bot farms are present and evident. Unfortunately if a fix were to be implemented, they would be bypassed within a few days and find ways around the fix. Either live with the bots or SDS finds a way to market and sell cards without an auction altogether, hard to see the path forward without bots. -
@samguenther1987_PSN Bait.
-
Still happening can't even make my bid last 10 seconds without being outbid.. bid is 1 stubs over(which is common i know).. bit its always 2 orders then when I delete mine and resubmit a higher bid.. again outbid instantly with 2 orders ... anyone else notice this or I am losing my mind and over thinking it
-
You thought Sarah Conner was crazy but Skynet is alive, aware, and gunning for your cards.
-
In the new YFK video where he meets with a guy who runs the cheating software he confirms and shows the screen that runs the bots for you. It exists and that cheating software has 40,000 paid subscribers. So even if 1/4 of them use it there are at least 10k bots. Turns out it was never just humans and coincidence on the market.
-
So craig biggio. I sat here for 20 minutes trying to buy this card it was selling for 77k buy now. I put an order a 66k immidialty 2 orders 1 stub higher. This happened over and over until I finally put in a order for 70k so the 10% tax wouldnt allow for a profit and the bot backed off.
So you consistently bid and rebid a card immediately?
Huh!
There’s no possible way someone else could have been doing the exact same thing. IMPOSSIBLE!

Yes, but the bots have been proven now. So yes it could be a person but more then likely it's a bot.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN not 2 orders at a time, everytime, up until the exact number where the flip would no longer be profitable. Maybe instead of acting like a snarky redditor with teenage girl energy, do a little research of your own.
-
@go4stros25_PSN totally agree with you been talking about this for 5 days now before the video came out... I also noticed it 100% right
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Ah yes, the old 'i didn't experience this in a small, isolated period therefore it doesn't exist' trope.
-
The market bots dont bug me as much as the gameplay cheaters. I can see why it would bother people who like "flipping and investing". But, it just seems obvious to me that mostly bots would be doing that - this is how the regular market works. A computer script can immediately calculate risk and profitability, and make the decision - naturally this is bot city

Small, isolated period? Dude, I've been flipping cards for the last week and have yet to not get/sell cards for the original prices I've set.
