I swear its them trying to discourage players who make a killing legitimately so we stop flipping and waste money buying stubs. They put the bots in so they can blame the restrictions on them, "oops just trying to deter bots" there's an obvious difference between a player manually flipping, even if they are fast, and 20 orders in a millisecond bot.

Now I know this has been touched on already but I haven't seen anything about when and if they removed this ban.

I recently had to have a spinal fusion and am currently on workers compensation. Obviously I have a lot of time on my hands and not a lot of things I can do being Im stuck laying down the majority of the day.

I have been a die hard fan of The Show for years and have made it a point to 100% the cards in Diamomd Dynasty since 2024. Now to do this without putting actual money into stubs, anyone who also refuses to waste money on stubs knows you need to buy and resell cards. Which is the point of the companion app.

I have 3 million left on 2024 and 2 million on 2025, so I know how to flip pretty successfully and have never had an issue. Now this year I have 2 cards left to get to complete the Live series (Judge and Ohtani) which I could have had already but I try to pull them myself in 50 packs rather then buy them straight out.

So like I said, Im bed ridden at the moment and playing The Show and flipping on the app is really all I have to do. So yesterday I made enough through buying and reselling to buy a Bobby Witt Live and 6 50 packs, so around 450 k. Before I fell asleep I went through and put buy orders in for all the cards I resell for when I wake up.

So when I wake up I go to put the cards I accumulated while sleeping up for sale and I get an "error occured" message when I try to click on one. So then I went to cancel an order to see if it would work and I get the "your account has been restricted " message.

Now as I said, Ive managed to get every available card the past 2 years, and was on my way to doing it this year and NEVER once have I used anything besides my brain and hours of flipping cards. Even if I was allowed to use a bot to assist me Id have no clue how to go about that....lol.

Ive opened tickets today with SDS and of course I haven't received a response of restriction lift. To say Im a little insulted would be an understatement because I have never done anything to warrant a ban or account restriction. So anyone who has been in the same situation how long did it take for SDS to rectify the situation?

I don't know if its happening to anyone else, but I've been flipping non stop for the last couple days since we stopped having to hard close every 5 orders, well I just placed 5 orders and it said my account was restricted. Hard closed placed 5 more orders and it did it again....Have tried 9 times with the same result.

I've been buying alot and selling every couple hours since 4am and I had no issues until just now. Just a heads up to anyone grinding, I don't know what caused it, like I said I've been flipping constantly for 3 days now, so why all of a sudden would it start restricting every 5 orders again?

@TripleH-4481_PSN See brother I have alot of time on my hands right now, can't do much physically so the Show and the app is like my therapy!!

I only need 15 cards as of today, and I got there by flipping my [censored] off!!! Lol

I dont flip the hig value cards because then you're fighting with bots for 3 hours to sell 1 card that might net you 3k after they tank it down from the 15k you thought you'd make when you bought it.

I strictly stick to Commons, I'll buy 75 cards (20 of each one) at 9 stubs and sell for 200 -85 stubs, probably do this 5 times a day. I make 300k easy a day doing this, and I couldn't do half of that of I couldn't use the app.

I can do 20 orders of 75 cards on the app in the time it would take me to do 10 on the console, so the bots dont bother me, I can make more selling Commons then somebody fighting bots for 3 hrs to sell a 300k card for 3k profit.

So I sincerely would hate it if it went strictly console.

@manu__sds_mlbts , when you've been a loyal customer for years now, who's gotten every card of those 4 years, legitimately, simply by grinding flipping cards, and this year you get restricted 5 times, the last one for over a week then you can sigh.

I just had a spinal fusion, so I can't do very much currently, but one thing I can do is play The Show and use the app. Which the past month and a half has been as easy to use as the Nintendo Power Glove with it taking longer to do 20 orders of 5 cards then it does to get actual Topps Chrome Platinum delivered by Temu. As fast as I am at flipping cards, I can't place 15 orders in the milliseconds it takes for someone to place a single order, so it should be easily distinguished Im not a bot.

Im not sure how you don't understand the frustration, You'd think players who consistently buy your game and dedicate countless hours playing and even more hours grinding on the app legitimately would be appreciated, not "sighed" at for being angry at basically be called a cheater and restricted from using the app over and over.

So Manu, sigh all you want at the players, loyalty and frustration with complete nonsense, and when they all finally get tired of paying $100 dollars to be an early release beta tester, we will all collectively sigh when you are no longer employed. Do better my guy.

So is the speed that I place my orders? How many orders I do in a certain amount of time? If so how many and what time frame? None of that should matter because I do everything on an android phone and dont break any TOS. You can use the app to buy and sell.....just dont buy or sell to much....oh and dont place orders fast either. It's really messed up I have to keep dealing with this because I'm fast at flipping and have alot of time on my hands right now.

I'm getting the log into the game on console first on every tab. Anyone else?

Went on to check my orders and I'm restricted for absolutely no reason. So pretty [censored] on my end.

Today I was flipping Seiya Suzuki, I had like 9 I posted them and as I finish posting the last one and it goes back to the market, so .5 seconds and someone posted 48 Suzukis 1 stub less then me. So first, unless you can stop time, there's no way you can post 48 orders by the time I post 1, and 2nd, he posted double the allowed amount. So I screenshot that [censored] and sent it to support and said "why don't you ban these [censored] instead of restricting those of us that do it legitimately.

Surprisingly I got a response within an hour and Miquel said they take this very seriously and we're going to look into it and take appropriate action. Apparently the appropriate action is to restrict the person who reported the cheating [censored].

This year has been completely unbelievable with this app. They nailed restricting people who are good at flipping and do it legitimately, it's the cheaters, bots and hackers that they seem to have trouble banning.

I tried selling the cards I purchased overnight when I woke up....let me post maybe 7 and then I got the "error occurred "so I logged out and back in and got the 10 min timeout, waited, tried when 10 mins was up tried to sell one card got 20 min timeout, have tried each time, got a 40 min 1hr and now I'm at 2 hr timeout. This is definitely worse then dealing with bots.

Well it let me do maybe 60 sell orders and then gave me a 3 hr timeout. It would really help if I knew why it was doing that. I even slowed down on placing orders which I hate so much, I can do 20 orders in 30 seconds, but I have to make it take 2 minutes for every card I do 20 orders on? Why does how fast I hot "finalize" make me a bot? I can't do 500 orders in 30 seconds like they do so it should be pretty easy to tell.
