I’m disliking the Bot manipulating the market more and more
I get the whole idea behind the bot and am not trying to make this a complaint thread or asking for the bot to be gone or anything. Just a few observations and maybe some input and thoughts from others on my take. First it was mirror card goes up and if it gets bought then yours does. At times I wouldn’t see a mirror card at all but at the end of auction mine would somehow sell. My first thought was maybe they’re listing mirror on different AH (understandable as it would help further make it more difficult for users to manipulate market). Now I’ve been realizing how fast steeler silvers sell in the AH so I decided to play the team events and sell their silvers. This is where I realized EA is screwing with us. We all know that at most times there can be no silvers available on the AH, and unless it’s the middle of the night even at the max roof price, the longest a silver sits in ought is 15-45 minutes. I started with some 69’s and I posted bid 2K less than max and buy now at max. No mirror card shows in my auction house but 4 hours later they all sell for the bid price. I then list 4 more 69’s. This time bid 1k less than max and buy now for max. ONE mirror card shows in my AH as in bought within 5 minutes. I still wait four hours for 2 to go for bid price and two for 200 more than bid price. They already tax us on our sales, if the card is guaranteed to sell at my Buy now price why do i get a lower price and then also get taxed on it? And why do I have to wait 4 hours when it will sell most of the time within minutes? I’m also only listing max 4 cards at a time as to not overload supply. Now I’m starting to think that it’s EA who is CREATING the “Shortage” of Steelers silvers for some reason, not players trying to corner the market or using so many to EVO Shazier and Troy. Why is EA doing to the market what they don’t want us to do?
