NEW FILTER IS ON!

I was hit with a 30 second lockout that will go away and then immediately get applied again as soon as I try to cancel a bid
-
Got timed out for 40 seconds put one order in got timed out for another 40 seconds
-
I might've started a little too aggressive - no worries it's a 10 minute run and then it gets tuned
-
Also realized that if you attempt to click an order before the time runs out it will restart a go to higher time is that intended if so it should be an actual countdown

NEW FILTER IS OFF

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS seeing bots but not as aggressive as prior. Reaction time for them seems delayed and app is running smooth.

My listings on the market for cards get purchased instantly. Honestly, great job.

Why are all the card prices rock bottom for live series. What happened? Bots again?

Everyone sold the dupes that they had from the roster update so now it's going back down

@manu__sds_mlbts THE BOTS ARE BACK. Can confirm bot activity on live series CJ Van Eyk right now (2:13 PM eastern time). Same story. I place an order, bot immediately places order below my order, immediately cancels when I cancel mine.
Please make them stop!

I'll just ask two questions.
First, is it really a negative that folks could only place one order every 40 seconds to one minute? I mean you cannot post consecutive comments at this forum unless they are parsed by a full minute or longer.
Second, I don't know that numbers of orders in a given timeframe will be effective, as some have already reported that the bots have been modified to delay their counter-orders to bypass the restrictions. My read says that it would get to the heart of the problem to instead try to measure counter-orders, meaning Person A places an order for a given item, and then Account B places a subsequent order on that same item designed to nullify the previous order.
This seems the core of the complaints and the objective of the bots. I mean even within a long timeframe of say an hour, how many legitimate humans are going to react to an order just to underbid or overbid it by a paltry amount? Even if a single account does that act more than a few times a day, it seems to be a red flag.
