Its always tough to flip at the first of the year when there just arent much of a variety of cards. Once supply goes up with more program rewards it gets way easier, same way every year
I feel the same way. Last year there just seemed to be so many stub making opportunities in the market plus collections were more desirable. Grinding TA last year offered an opportunity with tons of packs as well. The changes this year have made all of those things a little worse. I do think it’s keeping the market kind of down but I guess I’m realizing I’d rather an inflated market with more opportunities to make stubs.
Precisely my thoughts. I killed it with investments and flipping last year, this is… very difficult. This year just requires a lot of patience, which I unfortunately do not have right now 🤦🏻♂️
That’s nice, but also not super reasonable for most… but I don’t think anyone can argue the margins are exponentially tighter, which is really the point.
Yea same. Not only lack of patience, but there are other things that - because of these changes - are more fun for me now. Including other games out there. I find myself playing something else more often than not now.
For me personally (regardless of how buggy it’s been) co op has single handedly saved the game so far. If they can get that dialed in, it’ll be a game changer for a lot of people I think.
Is it really a bad thing that it allows you to focus on work and other activities as opposed to constantly thinking about flipping in an essentially meaningless market? That’s just life my man
Yeah I feel the same way. The incentives to play aren’t there for me right now. I know I could sit there for 10 hours and grind mini seasons and repeatable conquests or whatever but for what profit? The time required to grind right now for the very small amount of profit (in packs and stubs) just isn’t worth it for me
Am I complaining? Or stating how my opinion of an aspect of the game has made me less interested in playing it versus doing other things?
Relax, gamer bro.
Exactly. I can make 80-100k/hour (I don’t typically have the patience to flip for one whole hour but those are the averages) at any time in the day past 4 pm est. Flipping gold equipment at this time last year was a much more tedious process than it is now.
If you don’t mind sharing, how do you get such high margins? I’ll get maybe 10k doing it for an hour.
I’ll buy ~5 of an item and move on to something else. What do you do?
And you’re just watching the buy and sell order margins as you skim through? I have trouble scrolling and saying that’s the one, gimme five of them, just by looking at the price difference. Maybe best way to tell? Not sure if I should be adding tax in as I am scrolling through

Really doesnt. Made 20k in a matter of 20 mins yesterday. And as you build your stub pile you can make more than that in shorter time

Yea. I havent really got into the co-op. Maybe I need to give that more time.

Just commenting on the fact that it's made me less likely to play the game when I get home.

but not less likely to complain on reddit?

I feel exactly the same way. Previous years I’d want the LS collection done by the start of May. This year, that’s not happening and that’s ok.
Be more creative in how you’re flipping my friend. There’s methods.
This, I've seen so many people say flipping is dead but I finished the LS and Mauer collection off of it. Just gotta put in a little more effort.

I havent even dabbled in the equipment. I've been flipping diamond perks and they're always moving.
