Market restriction permanent
-
@Go4stros25_MLBTS Every year it’s something else. Last year they stopped allowing back orders. This year it’s the cap. They nerfed the quicksell on flashbacks. They stopped allowing us to quicksell dupes. I’m tired of the greed.

@GoozeFn_PSN dont forget player exchanges and team affinity. You used to be able to buy 100 of each silver at qs and then sell them all when the new TA dropped while people were rushing to compelte the exchanges. That was always good for a couple hundred thousand. The good ole days lol
-
Yeah I’ve noticed a very small window opening the last 3 weeks where flipping is solid but then it quickly closes and doesn’t come back again for a week. I can only assume it’s bots being shut down and then deploying work arounds. The process just keeps repeating itself. The flash sale helped the latest window on Wednesday but like all others it slammed shut pretty quickly later that night and has not opened back up.

The window shows up, when there is either an app update or when they have had a game update that caused market access via the app or the website to not work. During those times the market works as intended since all the transactions are being done via the console and the margins get better for buying and selling. Once those two start working again, the bots creep back in and things go south until the next update.
The game of whack-a-mole is never ending.

Yep, that’s exactly it and why I think they just need to scrap transactions in the app for good. It might stink for some people that like to flip on the app while at work but it’s a small price to pay for the market to function as intended.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN flippings what you make it time and effort to make more the real killer was investing like miz was a free diamond I used to always put every spare stub into players like that you knew would eventually go diamond and once they did you have thousands of dupes and were set for the year. Now you can only have 20 that’s the biggest killer
-
@GoozeFn_PSN told my friend this yesterday our Warning sign was the back orders last year. Next year we’ll be saying it was restrictions and market limit its done good ol days are over
-
Why can’t you play online?
-
Also, there are still bots on the market…
So what they’re doing isn’t effective at all
-
They just keep coming back. The fact 3rd party sites exist at all is mind blowing. As mentioned, if they lowered the price of stubs and additionally increased pack odds they could put all these sites out of business, dramatically reduce bots, and increase player satisfaction 10x while probably making even more money.
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS Biggest shove and kick in the pants towards the stub shop, not to mention a massive middle finger to a good portion of NMS players...it's still possible, but man did they ever make it a helluva lot tougher.
-
@GodShammGod2_XBL Every time the app updates, I believe it's SDS countering the bots. The problem is the bots are usually back within a day or two
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS I’m going to skip 27, at least. Will be the first MLB the show game I haven’t bought.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN thats me as well, being restricted on the app for doing nothing was pretty much the final straw
-
@GoozeFn_PSN SDS should probably skip '27 as well.
-
I’m not going to buy ‘27 until I know for sure there’s no market place nonsense cap restrictions etc. love the game but the community market is literally another game mode for me sad part is it makes you watch and enjoy the real game because you care about how certain players are doing for investment purposes
-
They really should just make this game super easy just to weed out what’s a concern vs what is tribal/inconvenience
-
@nhacia88_MLBTS Unfortunately I think the cap is here to stay. Despite always having some less than subtle nudges towards the stub shops most years, the past three years in particular since the staff turnover have put heavy emphasis and reliance on MTX. I agree sneaking the cap in underhandedly the way they did was super bad optics, but it's not going anywhere.
-
So I have a question.
I usually play Diamond Quest multiple times and save my rewards(cards) to list on the market all at once. If I continue doing that, there’s a chance I’ll be banned from using market place on the app or website?
-
@Sarge1387_PSN the whole thing stinks of some suit who came in with a "5 year plan", and its killing the game. You see it often within proven IPs. Look at bungie, how do you go from halo, to mass layoffs yesterday?
