<![CDATA[Companion App V6.7.1 is out]]>Howdy,

I’ve been working around the clock on improving traffic classification and filtering out unwanted Marketplace activity from legitimate user traffic (you know the story by now!)

Version 6.7.1 addresses a bug in QuickSell / ViewListing - but also brings an additional set of improvements to go along with the Marketplace API.
Within the noise of the forum, I was able to pick a few very good suggestions which helped the most recent work - I appreciate the help!

Please update when you get a chance, and let me know if you notice anything unusual.

As always, making the Companion App the best possible experience remains my peak priority.

Thanks for the continued patience, support, and feedback.

I don't understand why

I know the majority of users aren’t weird hyper app users like most in this forum, but I imagine the common user will be very pleased to interact with the market right now if they haven’t been permanently turned off to it from trying in the past.

The majority of the feedback I’m reading is that even when running into unwarranted restrictions, it’s undeniable that bots have been severely crippled. If you guys want to hire that guy who can make the insta-filter, that sounds pretty sweet, but if we are all going to continue in reality, I think a few tweaks to the way things are atm would be beneficial.
I still think a majority of the bad actors can be denied access by restricting the app to legit devices operated by a human. Personally, I’m not sure how that’s done but I imagine there are ways to identify incoming connections as virtual machines or behind VPNs or connections using IMEI against known blacklists. Before thinking of all the things that could change that would suit me personally, I think the restrictions coming on just from navigation the app is too sensitive right now. I understand that loading a page or refreshing a page are all things requiring calls to the api, but those actions should not carry the same weight towards restriction as placing or deleting bids. IMO. I’ve also read some people say they have been restricted in the middle of opening packs and selling the content, that doesn’t seem right. I don’t use the app to open packs myself, but I think people that do open packs in the app, should have an exemption towards restrictions when opening packs and listing the content… in fact, to sum up my current thoughts, navigating the app shouldn’t count towards restrict able behavior. And opening packs and selling that contents should be exempt as well.

BUT - the market has integrity at the moment and that is a big deal.

Normally if I'm restricted on the app I just go to the website, like in the olden times pre-app. Sure, I get hit with the captcha, but I can still do my transactions.

If you can find that reasonable compromise again and stick with it, I will say a job well done my friend.

I know people getting limited is just a byproduct of limiting the bots but your end goal would result in people also getting limited (temporarily same as it has been but not to the same extent). Just trying to understand

I can't be too open about the specifics - so we don't directly feed the wrong audience - but we have

Protected actions: cancel_order, create_order, create_order_now, quick_sell, view_listing
And they observe Mutation: m/sec, n/min and Read: o/sec, p/min - we "just" need to find the sweet spot for mnop

It seems to me that the main issue is create/sell, I will focus on that today

You can move fast doing that and now I’ve gotten groove it’s becoming more tolerable

All I know is that when I adjust my orders, or even look too quickly at them, I get restricted. I normally use the app and/or website for the market even when I'm actively playing because it's just easier.

You guys have done a great job lately, but there always seems to be a tipping point when it becomes too much and all of us non-bot flippers get restricted. There has to be that line there somewhere.

It needs to recognize these orders being cancelled and replaced in nanoseconds, speeds not possible for even the quickest human fingers.

It’s you will get the restricted alert if you just refresh screen too much or click and look at too many guys too fast. Like I can take my time picking my orders to stay compliant but we gotta be able to refresh’ and look at guys without closing app after 2 clicks.

I find I’m having to think refreshes and where I click way too much so I don’t trigger restriction. I find that kind of insane

Honestly I’m getting feel for when I have close app and start over and it’s not that bad once you know exactly when it will trigger.

At this point I wish I could sell 5 cards on it, but my app has me restricted all together anytime I try to even select a card.

To code a anti cheat for that it isn’t hard, but it does take some time, and I think it would help
