Most traffic is probably due to the new drop format and not the print. 3 drops allows flippers with multiple accounts three times as many chances to score so they would provide significantly higher traffic.

Gotta say, the lottery doesn't seem fair. The new format seems horrible. As a whole this wasn't handled very well.

Completely agree. People who have been buying for years get refunded because you gotta do a fair refund system? Refund the last people to purchase, that's fair.

If by now you can't score an obey, you're doing something wrong but this 3 drop system blows.

Don't love the random three drop system but I really hate the drop at a specific time. IMO that brings more flippers out, zero effort for the drop.

This print was perfect for the 10 am to 2 pm drop window. Its not a monster image and should not have generated that many clicks. Image how much traffic the Obey sight would have had if Marley had random drops throughout the day>

I far prefer the drop to be more or less at a regular time like it's been for the last year or so , it's over and done with and you can get on with your day win or lose. The combined "lost" hours that we all effectively lose when it's a 2+ hour random drop time is ridiculous.

There is of course one simple solution to completely level the playing field that no one has talked about , one that wouldn't go down well with those of you/us who know "the trick" ....but it would make it fairer on everybody.

Was that for this, or for an Art Alliance order? If the order number on the shipping confirmation has a AA in front, it is for Art Alliance.
