It's very difficult now since everyone is aware of it.

People have posted it on Youtube, Twitch, etc.

I tried it a few times recently but was not able to get anything. Not worth the hassle for me.

its every 15 minutes but there is a lot of play due to server latency and things of that nature. sometimes the server may not refresh at all either. it could stop updating for an hour, sometimes hours at a time. its just not something you can accurately time unless as you say you watch it all day. and if you do that, then whats the point of playing the game?

Yes, it's not reliable at all, much like anything to do with 2K servers.

It's good to wait for a refresh if you're waiting to buy a particular player but no point really anymore for snipes. There's just too many people doing the same thing.

Just set your min buyout and max buyout to 500/500 and keep refreshing until new cards pop up. When they do the next refresh will be 15 minutes from that point but yes it can be inconsistent at times. I wouldn't say people are idiots for doing it especially if they know what to look for. I make most my mt by flipping jerseys and badges. I got ruby kobe and ruby klay last week for 500mt and there is nothing idiotic about that.

Between work, a new born baby and trying to have a life; it's hard for me to string enough time together to play rttp. I can always make time to search the auction house off and on throughout the evenings though. Thanks for the incite to help make things more lucrative for me.

That's what I do, just search for 500 and see what comes up. That's the easiest way to determine if there was a refresh.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people are idiots for trying to find cheap players. I'm just saying the way people have to sit there like idiots, hitting the refresh button repeatedly because of this nonsensical and inconsistent refresh.

The auction house should just refresh in real time.

We may as well start listing the snipes we had now as a form of competition. I been knowing about the cycle damn near since the game came out and sniped 100's of cards and didnt have to sit all day and do it because not many knew about it. I sniped some of the best players in the game.

This mode is just about done now and sniping now is not even worth the time. I noticed a difference about 3 weeks ago almost instantly. Must have been a flood of videos on youtube and twitch around that time. For me it was fun....because I always try and find an edge. Why people would come on and share this type of info in a competitive arena is beyond me. For some youtube likes? This mode is nearly done. Trash challenges, crashed market, etc....Now these Johnny-come-latelys thing they are winning because they spend more time refreshing the AH than playing. SMH.

I know its people that dont even play the game now that they found out this "secret" and they are so hooked now, thats all they do is get on and wait for an unreliable refresh. Its like anything else, when you have great success at something with little effort you look like a genius. When there becomes saturation and it takes more time and effort than its worth for a positive result, then it crosses that line in becoming idiotic. I am a very competitive person....but at a point you have to realize its just a video game.
