More than likely it is the companies that sell 3rd party stubs that use the bots the most. They have more than likely found a way to just keep making accounts as quickly as SDS restricts them

Then there are those who cheat in others ways. I would not put botting past anyone who uses a device to cheat or exploits a bug hundreds of times in the wee hours of the morning

No buy orders on app or web. Can only put buy orders on console.

I think this could work, just not sure if SDS has the coding capability.

I also think that SDS is powerless to do anything about it. If they take any action at all, for each account they ban, ten more will appear and start the disruption anew. It's a sad situation, and is just one reason among many for why smart corporations try to avoid angering their customers, especially in this day and age where people have an outsized influence due to social media and how it has become so easy to hack computer code with malicious intent.

F*ck the bots and whoever employs them

I still am completely unclear on what a Bot is. Pardon my ignorance. Can someone explain it?

“Bot” is the catch all phrase for “automation” code. Basically, a program is constantly checking on prices of cards, auto-buying, and auto-selling cards for users without them needing to be present.

Do we know that the app is the medium by which the bots work?
