How is the Community Market feeling?
-
@greven840_PSN I didn’t think about Xbox. I am not sure what needs to be done but with after each update and workaround is configured the bots get a little worse than before. Early in year it was much smaller % of bots on the cards, now after the new workaround to SDS update is figured out just about every card down to silver has some sort of bot on it. It’s basically all of them at this point and that used to not be the case

I keep getting request verification failed error now
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS Me too. Small sacrifice if it stops bots.

Howdy,
I want to thank everyone who is participating constructively in this discussion!
We will continue to analyze incoming traffic and refine the strategies that block unwanted requests: all your suggestions are appreciated and taken into consideration.
Hi @manu__sds_mlbts - market has been working super well, but now I'm just getting a "Request Verification Failed" whenever I click on a card.
-
@Bridge-Piece_XBL thought it was just me as im still restricted
-
@VOReason1976_XBL if we are getting that notification does it mean you’re restricted? I am getting it as well
-
I'm getting that request verification failed. I mean how much louder can you all at SDS say we don't want you guys flipping for stubs, we want you guys to pay real world money for stubs
-
@General_Heaux_PSN no I think im getting it as its just broke, mine will go back to account restricted when everyone else can get in i presume

I think it's a glitch for everyone.

Excellent for two days but today experienced the immediate one up or two up on buy price. Also, for everyone, the request verification error was addressed in the Companion App Forum section. The team is working on it per SDS.

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS my account was restricted for no reason.

You would think that SDS would be able to see very easily which accounts are bots due to the immediate undercutting of transactions. I’d be stunned if they weren’t able to flag transactions or accounts that spend an inordinate amount of time “in the lead” on certain cards, especially after losing the lead for less than a second just to regain it again.I understand the calls to remove the marketplace from the app, but I think that would greatly worsen the experience for users as well. Sure it would cut down on the bots, but for me and I would assume many others, using the app to sell duplicate cards, watch the market, or flip cards is a huge part of the fun. If they implemented a change getting rid of the marketplace in the app, that would be it for me because putting orders in on console is miserable, time consuming, and inefficient. Selling duplicates and flipping cards has been the only way I’ve been able to play for years because of how insanely expensive these cards are. If they get rid of the marketplace, safe to say I’m done for good.

@RSALERMO_XBL -- submit a ticket to Support, and they can look into it for you.
Please be aware that they're working through a backlog of tickets, so it could take some time, but they will get back to you.

I would be ok if they got rid of the app. if they would make the console market more usable.

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS thanks for checking in. Couple of thoughts… don’t mean to sound like I’m telling you guys what to do, I’m just thinking out loud about what I’d maybe try to do… identify some accounts using bots, from incoming traffic data, find similarities and trends. Is that account focused on 1 item or is it spread across a few? Are they all or mostly using emulator software? Block access from emulators. Are they using vpn? Block vpns. Maybe you serve a captcha after every 10 bids or deleting bids. I know there’s times I can be using the market on the app for 30 min or maybe more, but maybe if an account is making however many transactions in an hour, the account gets restricted/time out for an hour.
Anyways, just typed out and posting while I had a minute.
