grats on reaching 100.
Also, I accidentally mailed the last item on mooglemail with a blank message. just an attached item and the title auction. Sorry about that and hope it won't be a problem. I was really out of it with the flu and was not thinking straight.

Super, are you losing more money on discounts now? Though if there is a bid war for expensive items that probably still covers the discounts on mats.

Actually, he doesn't lose anything in discounts. If you go look here [ reasoningtheory.net] https://reasoningtheory.net/bidtimes213976 and click on Time-Based Price Multipliers you'll see the stuff balances itself.

Actually, I have been, ever since this started some months ago: item sellers get all the fee revenue, and the discounts come from my pocket. I set it up like that initially to make it clear I wasn't setting it up for the purposes of making a profit. But I think I've done that long enough, and I'll make the system self-sustaining from now on so I'm not losing money to it every week.

(IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I totally thought wrong then, sorry. I thought every seller got what was bidded on it without taking discount or fees into consideration, but buyers paid taking them into consideration, so everything is balanced in the end and transparent for sellers without any problem. You take the same amount anyway in the end like this, how would it be for the purposes of making a profit? I don't understand... This post has been edited by gianfrix94: Mar 4 2018, 02:12

Oh, I haven't followed the discussion for a while, I was just curious how's the difference between discounts and penalties now. I support it fully, regardless of how you will adjust the numbers, as the purpose of the system is to make overall experience better for bidders. Even though sellers might think of additional revenue as a reduction of auction fees instead of you losing money, there nothing that they contribute for the system, so selling side shouldn't be entitled to any benefits. Btw can I throw a powerarmor chest I bought earlier back for reauctioning because I got something better closer to my level instead? I want to bump the price because I paid for itemworlding it and it has juggernaut now. If you don't want it to become a practice, i'll just keep it in my shop.

QUOTE(風雷詠歎詩 @ Mar 24 2018, 02:25)  sorry , cansel the bid. You revealed a proxy bid: don't ever do this. See the rules: QUOTE(Superlatanium @ Mar 21 2018, 14:04)  If you mistype, you can edit your post to invalidate your bid if you have not revealed a proxy bid and the edit log, which exists for exactly this reason: [ reasoningtheory.net] https://reasoningtheory.net/editlog214690But you didn't mistype - it was deliberate. Bidding so you can check someone's proxy bid and then canceling in case you start winning is very unfair to the other guy. Multiple people have complained about this sort of thing in the past (for good reason), so I am going to hold you to your original bid. QUOTE(vivikinomoto123 @ Mar 24 2018, 05:20)  sorry, cancel. Exact same thing here. Players who reveal a proxy bid and then cancel will remain on the hook for whatever amount they bid - it wouldn't be fair otherwise. (If anyone sees this happening in the future and I don't catch it, please PM me) This post has been edited by Superlatanium: Mar 24 2018, 12:29
