Ban hammer...
-
@Oliver230230230_PSN @sarge1387_psn the majority of people that I see out there saying they were banned were people that didn't buy stubs from a third-party site, but people that made their stubs from flipping, presumably jumping in on the equipment, sponsorships, and players that would suddenly be selling for crazy amounts. That's how I made mine. I sent in a ticket and have another message sent through email directly, but I honestly don't know or think that I will hear anything anytime soon... which sucks. Was looking forward to the Ralphy Velazquez Pipeline card today.

Hopefully SDS uses this as a learning experience, doesn't let things get so far out of hand and this game can get back to being the best sports game around. I think that's what we all want.
I think lots of people here what them to retake their place as the top sports game and I know many of my comments are really pleas for them to do something and make that happen. It’s getting very tiring trying to convince them of that! If I didn’t want them to succeed at this I’d be shouting on Twitter or Reddit instead of prodding them on their own forum. I’ve been whining about stub transfers for months but they are so thick. Let’s keep it heading in this direction tho!
-
It’s pretty interesting that everyone’s favorite streamers advertised these stub transfer sites that got everyone banned.
Just like YFK they will blame SDS rather than themselves or the streamers.

I have no idea how they went about this and I’m not saying they did it the right way - I’m saying it could and should have be as simple as what I laid out. Especially since they clearly did not target the majority of active bots, they just cited stub transfers.

Every time something like this happens in any game all the guilty players play dumb and innocent. What other move do they have left?

The problem may be that when that kind of spike is happening it is usually an indication that something fishy is going on. You may have inadvertently had multiple market transactions with a known 3rd party stub reseller account.
As a general rule there should not be multiple transaction between any two accounts unless they coordinated the transaction.
Could just be bad luck.

SDS has done plenty wrong but as a poster noted above this is a start. The bots are still very active on most cards so those need to be disabled ASAP. If you see a card with 2 orders posted at 1 stub below the second lowest price that is 100% a bot on that card. If I can spot it SDS sure can too. Find the poster and ban their account and any IP associated with it. If all else fails disable any and all off console transactions so people can’t abuse the app or emulators. It’s past time to get serious and get it done.

That is not correct, passive/bulk flippers do this all the time. Bot activity is when they exceed the 20 card limit and are doing immediate 1-ups/canceling that no human can possibly do.
-
@Bridge-Piece_XBL Agree. But also it may take a day for bots to be turned off once they realize they are now useless.

YFK is such a clown, he's live right now blaming SDS and deflecting
-
Nope I’m telling you that’s not it. Bots will post 2 orders exactly 1 stub below the lowest price and when you post below them they will quickly delete and instantly post 1 stub below again and do this repeatedly.
Bulk orders are simply one way to transfer stubs. The way they make stubs is with the above method I listed above. I can tell by this alone when the market is corrupted by bots and flipping will be basically not worth the time.

oh well yes the quick delete and instant post is a different thing - which is what I had said in my comment as well. And there are for sure bots doing that.
But passive/bulk flippers will post up to 19 orders 1 up or 1 under the current. However, they have to cancel each one individually and relist to get back on top.

Looks like 'Ban-ham Pac Man' was hungry.
Gobble, gobble, gobble......burp!!!! 🤪 -

You can control the ads on your website. So, as far as I am concerned, if there are ads for illegal operations on your website, then you are just as guilty as those who sponsor the operations and those who leverage them. No matter how much grief I have with SDS, the company absolutely has the legal right to their intellectual property and the right to control how it is used. So, websites that "sell" worthless stubs are criminal operations. Pure fact, just the way it really is.
You snuggle up to these criminals then their guilt passes off on you.
