This is happening more and more often to more and more mission streams. I'm even seeing obvious evidence of people hoarding
Iron cards that belong to multiple missions, bidding 10 five times and then reselling for 30-something. Sheesh. These people must spend their entire days in the card shop rather than playing and improving their teams.
In regard to the issue of playoff tanking...
Lathum is right. Those points are surely going somewhere, probably to another team owned by the same player, either by buying the other team's unneeded cards at a premium or by buying overpriced mission cards and then funneling them to the other team at a lower price.
