No one in their wildest minds could have predicted the recent explosion. It's part of the process.

Uh just pay more money for bandwidth? Or pretend you are "stress testing" and "in beta" forever.

Most likely the 5% minus the NBAPA's fee is lining execs pockets instead of actually hiring people and buying more bandwidth and storage.

They're screwing up these drops. It's annoying, and was looking forward to the drop today.

If there was bot activity then they did the right thing.

Just not sure how they stop it from happening each time. Or is the bot activity just an excuse?

Did they say it was bot activity? I think it was just an overloading of the site, no?

now I see it. Yeah that seems like an excuse. What bot activity could have been going on? It would be their fault, they shouldn't announce the moment requirement to be honest.

Makes you wonder how many bots got in for every other drop!

What bot activity could be going on? It’s really not that difficult. Mass botting helps the odds of getting chosen. Sneakerbois were trying to cop as many packs as possible.

But they'd have to have all those bots have 3 moments correct?

man... it's been a minute since checking in..

Good to see all the " I'm this close to cashing out and quitting " post... lol, ya'll are like some 18 year old smokers getting carded.. you aren't getting no heaters right now, but you know you gonna try again and again

PS- If you don't get a pack, buy them cheap 35K's so that when they bump the minimum moments to 10 (in order to join a pack drop) you can sell those Plumlee's for forty to fiddy.. It's not like people all of a sudden wanted to cop Evan Fournier $6 moments because of his upside.

Yep. They should bump it up to 6 moments and really set them dead in their tracks.

No point in rewarding bots when the goal is to create a stable marketplace anyways.

The fact that you can spend $9-14 dollars on a pack and potentially make $1000 is wild. That kind of return is going to get attention in the flipping world.

Stacks on stacks of accounts with IP masking and VPNs can increase odds of winning chance at a pack. Adding moment requirements is essential and simple method to stave off these cheap methods.

The fact that almost every drop had been delayed shows they're adapting, or at least trying to. People flipping out over this are either ignorant or naive.

Unless everyone wants this TopShot stuff to go the way of Panini Dutch auctions you better just enjoy it for what it is and stop over reacting.

I think this may happen, but honestly aren't a ton of people going to try this now. I think your best shot at making money off the required moments was after the first moment requirement they had. Could've doubled or tripled up

So basically 100k accounts bought 3 moments. I would like to see what those numbers were before the requirement announcement. Nice, great way to cut down on bots and multiple accounts, by giving them 2 days to purchase the 3 required moments. That's a fail on their part. I'm still an idiot for selling all of my /35k thinking they would go down right before they jump 4x their low. A /35k Steven Adams is $21 right now. This stinks and hopefully they can have the queue working for tomorrow.

Lol 1% own 100+ moments. There are just soooooo many Top Shot "collectors". Like I said weeks ago, at least 99% of people in Top Shot could care less about collecting. It's 100% about the money.

I'm in the top 21% LOL

That said the value of my collection is no where near that. Probably in the bottom 21%
