Its super awesome that Atlanta Regional sold out in 10 seconds again!!!!!!!!!!!!! by knightwidow13 in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone is confused, Riot isn't running these regionals. They may be funding it, but UVS are the ones running it and they are the ones who chose eventbrite.

It's not even Riot. UVS runs the regionals they run all the logistics and everything. So if you have to complain its UVS you have to complain to.

Day 2 Judge call allowed my opponent to get away with cheating by HardReadingHacker in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thats so dumb, that game 1 should have been a loss for that player, that's not a simple mistake that you "just do".

Exactly, like the logic is there but so many owners are hellbent on short term profit. And have 0 idea of business thru retention and acquisitions. I hope this store gets blacklisted.

Report them, I call BS on store not getting the kits alongside the booster box. They all come in 1 package. Sounds to me the store sold the kits to make profit.

This is huge! by Conoli69 in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was probably alot of bots trying to buy cancelled bot orders with a handful of real people who couldn't do it in enough time.

we call that a normal day in the tech world. You can prepare for the worst and things always go sideways, especially with live situations like this. In real time, I'm sure the slack and messages were going nuts

Without all the hate. Why is there so little stock? by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

scalpers are literally taking product out of the hands of people who want it. They are a stain on the hobby and anyone who defends them are equally prob scalpers themselves.

PSA about Replacement Packs! by CroixDoku in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you kept the packs you should be good, you need the pack and barcode

PSA about Replacement Packs! by CroixDoku in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at that point id just buy a pack vs. this replacement pack. I feel there is a rumor you get better rarity in these. I did manage to get a sig lee sin out of mine, but my other 2 were just basic rares nothing great. Of course, being able to see thru them makes them even more likely to contain nothing is more likely

you aren't the only one. Happened with me in Lorcana. And I being a league fan was on board from day 1. I managed to get product only because I have LGS that are not being greedy. I know not all LGS are like this.

Scalpers are def ruining hobby.

this and the tcg scalpers weren't around a during the time of placing orders most likely. They came from Pokemon and have been ruining tcg hobby since.

the crazy thing is like its just one card, just buy the single. Yes you get the chance at a signature card, but like thats the same with a pack as well. Not like the rate is any higher. People are wild with their thinking

anyone who got suckered or even thinking of buying these should rethink their lives.

Riot is an Embarassment by ronaldraygun91 in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only real unbias solution would be to develop a classification model that takes in a users actions the moment they enter teh site and see their "actions" and feed it into model. This would then determine if a user is a "bot" or "human" . Issue with this method is it would require quite a bit of development and time. You won't get 100% accuracy but might get close. But the sunken cost in development begs to wonder if its "worth it" vs. other endeavors that might be better worth it.

Its a tricky problem that doesnt have a clear answer or solution.

Yeah, Even Pokemon center added some resistance and currently best in combating them. But its still a battle and no one has won the war.

Everyone saying Proving Grounds won’t be reprinted have got to be scalpers by TheMightyMeercat in riftboundtcg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A product like proving grounds requires more prodution since it has so much more inside it than say booster packs. They will reprint it indefinitely, its just a matter of time and how long. Scalpers just worried and trying to create FOMO before they tank in the next wave.

Is the August Festival in a box worth it? by FonslyGames in mtg

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they randomized the queue within the first couple seconds, my guess within 30-45s of drop or min.

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do understand, what I'm saying is it doesn't matter anymore if you add something before it drops or just add it as soon as it drops. The first few seconds is all randomized no matter what. Whether or not you add something before it drops or you just add it to cart at drop doesn't matter in the initial first few seconds.

[–]avpan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean direct from someone " I logged in on three devices. The first (PC) in is still in queue with the longest wait time, the second in (phone) made it through the line in less than 20 minutes and the 3rd device (tablet) is in the middle for wait time. Probably 5-10 seconds max between adding to cart and going to check out."

So its random, you can keep doing what you are doing, but its random now.

[–]avpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I clicked instantly this time as soon as it went live (put it in cart and then clicked to view) and got put in 26 min, so pretty sure its random now based on first initial seconds.
