Never claimed to be some kind of guru of TS, don’t expect anyone to follow my advice

TS does plenty wrong, you must not read some of my recent posts where I’ve hated on what they’ve done, hated everything they’ve done the last month because they crushed all of the momentum

They been doing lots of shady things from last year, but when you say it is wrong is when TS started doing wrong?????????????????????????


LOL.

Get over yourself. TS been doing many thing wrong to users for a year now. TS does somethings good, some things ok and some things bad.

To the moon.

In other news, withdrawals are lightning quick right now for at least crypto

I took out a withdrawal of 80 bucks to buy some things on eBay, and I got it within 10 minutes

I tried to withdraw my last $200 or so since I've already lost interest in the UFC product and my account got frozen. Said my identity check is now in question. Whatever, almost don't even care enough to try and get the last few hundred. Dapper is a clown show at this point.

Apparently you can withdraw straight to bank account now (through plaid?) for only $1.00, instead of the wire fee function, but I'm assuming if you use that function you are more at risk for your transactions to be reported aka 1099 etc since plaid is a US company & Dapper is not a US company. Just what i read a while back, uncertain if accurate though.

Also, not sure if anyone knows, but I'm curious about something.

Thursday is the last loot pack TS might possibly drop. Going back to last week, you could pull a 60K, 10K, 12K, 4 badge, rare, legends & Rising Star LE's. Well since rising star's are done, what is the LE going to be in this week's pack?

My guess is since there isn't one, they are only going to drop standard packs & that is going to piss off a lot of people even more, because with Elite, at least you were guaranteed to pull a rare, legend or LE, so if they don't have an LE, the logical thing would be to guarantee rare/legends, with less packs dropping, but I don't see TS doing that, so I see them possibly eliminating the elite this go around.

Anyone know if there has been any new LE moments minted that would negate those thoughts?

They said their going to release new commons and legendaries to go along with the second group of ASG rares. Legendaries are probably just more Holo icons I would have to guess

The common LE is fascinating though. I don’t know what they’re going to do. I know they talked about another fresh threads drop but I doubt they drop all the fresh threads in this pack because there were a ton of guys traded. We know there’s like a foreign player based common LE set coming in series 3 so maybe that?

Very curious what they do because if they do move back to the old format after this drop then you don’t want to wait a couple weeks for the other half of a common LE set

Hope it is not like last year. Only small amounts get done fast. All the people i got to join got ok'ed for withdrawals before i did. They had nothing to withdrawal so TS was good with them.

I got booted from the TS discord with all the factual information since they are my friends. This is what we dealing with.

On a good note, The bank transfers do take only a few days and cost only $1 . DId a couple of $1000+ withdrawals and it was surprisingly fast. Only if it was like that last year, TS would be in a better place now. Hard to win back users with the problem of withdrawals last year.

Well they said legendary mints would stay the same and never go above 99 I believe in the blogs. But yeah, announcement should come today, since drop is tomorrow. Interested to hear the structure for it.

Well yeah I was more so saying the legendaries in the packs set wise are most likely just more Holo icons which are 99 mints

[grade]

do you always believe what they say?

Many times what is said and what really happen is totally different.

[Eckstein197]

Pack drop tomorrow is postponed. Very obvious they see how badly they screwed up these packs and now are working on a fix

[grade]

TS should just improve slowly over time, A slow improvement from last year would have meant a much better platform today.

It is hard to win back users.

The damage is done. Nobody wants a bunch of 60k+ moments. CS was a terrible idea and was there to reward whales.

People here bashed folks like rifleman and I for being bearish on this company. Those folks are now suspiciously gone from the thread. Lot of people eating their words now.

I think people are just sick of hearing you and your other half whine constantly

I don't know why they insist on changing things the few things that were working.

Most people were enjoying the challenges and being able to get a new moment by completing a challenge so now they change it. For the last couple of "Easy" challenges you now get a Series 2 base pack instead of the moment. To get the moment, you can only use Series 1 or 2 moments to complete. This makes Series 3 moments which were pretty much worthless already, even less desirable.

I mean they’ve been mixing it up, Sometimes the easy is the moment and the hard is a rare pack. Good to keep switching it around so things don’t get too stale

I mean I disagree with this because TS in early February was thriving. Market cap was growing at a healthy pace, transaction volume was high. They were stupid to switch the pack style at the time they did it. Mid season is not the time to drastically alter one of the key parts of the platform

Pretty much. The H&S drop was great for many. As was GRG.

The loot pack idea was something everyone wanted. To have a chance at a rare/legend without being locked outside the CS door. The biggest problem was the pricing & mint count for RS, which should have been 10K max like GRG.

Change the standard pack price to $9 & elite to $29. People could experience the same pack results & the complaints would be drastically lower due to the fact people wouldn't be losing as much as they did with $19/$49.

That's all they had to do, but they were greedy.

TS timing is horrible. They listen to what users want but roll it out way to late. The whole player selection and mints have changed by the time the loot pack was released.

WHAT EVERYONE wanted was loot pack LAST YEAR. Not now when TS has millions of challenges , millions of moments of the same players and 10x less users.

Timing is important. Loot packs could have been great, last year.

[pyrexswerve]

Lakers NFT auction currently at $32K. Ending sometime shortly if the auction doesn't have further bids.
Don't think a majority of the teams will come close to topping whatever this one ends at.

I wonder what the prices would have been if they didn't implement a starting bid of $10K.

Loot packs, get rid of the collector score and a more reasonable price point with the current mint count of common moments.

It’s ugly right now.

They did a bunch of stupid #@#@#@#@ that turned me and a bunch of other people off.

I still think it’s a good idea but they need to cut mint numbers way down, lower or keep prices low, burn a ton of moments somehow to create more scarcity and find some utility for the moments.

It’s still very early in the NFT era and I definitely prefer the moments to an image. An image is just a digital card and if that’s what it comes down to I’d rather collect physical cards so I can hold a tangible good in my hands, see how the light refracts off the surface, see a slight amount of wear on a hardsigned auto knowing that the athlete held that card and signed it, etc that you can’t get from a still image on a screen.
