What does everyone think about a fixed (not rigged) bidding system? Meaning, once you set a price that you are willing to pay or sell for, that price is locked in for a given time period. It would cut down on all the +/-1 stub bids and give players an idea of what each card is truly worth to the community.

It's all good. Some people's brains don't work right. Can't connect the dots. Next time you can't get on the game try the app....😉

That should tell you all you need to know.

If the app has nothing to do with the game then how do you post a card on the app and someone on the console buys it? They are most definitely on the same servers. Thousands of people playing on the app clogs it up. It really isn't that hard to understand. They both go down at the same time for christ sakes

Obvious Market manipulation right now on Zion Rose draft card. Huge amount of buy orders in a short period of time and got up to $180k in buy orders then alternate to $30k back and forth

And if a normal player can catch that than SDS should definitely be able to. At the very least they can look back and see what and why this happened. I'm betting they would have a full scale MLBTSvu investigation if a couple cards went down like that.

There is a bot issue without a doubt.

But

I think you started with a false premise or assumption.

I have seen more evidence of them working on the bot issue than any other issue, as evidenced by the various times members have been caught up in the detection tools and the fact that Manu has made several posts here as he worked on the issue

Failure to actually resolve the issue is not the same as not caring about it.

That's fair. But I also see it as the best way to "beat the bots" is to make it not worth their time invested. How does SDS accomplish that? By having a flash sale without a stub sale. Everything SDS has done to this point has just been window dressing when the market is still as inflated as what it is.

It's broken, and I am not a fan of cosplaying as a stockbroker by 'investing' but as a 2K refugee, eliminating the marketplace with fixed pricing is not the answer.

I wish I knew what the answer was, but when 2K tried that it was an epic failure.

Yeah, I worded that subject line completely wrong. Edited for my stupidity. Lol

Fixed pricing wasn't what I meant. It's more of a time fixed bid. And that's got it flaws, like everything else. It's basically to late this year but hopefully in the future something is done.
