i don't find it wrong at all. pretty much like i don't find anything wrong in bidding the old-fashioned way. This post has been edited by Scremaz: Feb 18 2017, 19:37

I'm not really in favour of stricter rules (the fact that I don't like something doesn't mean it's wrong and should be banned), I'm thinking of a way to incentivate earlier bids, when I'll have a proposal I'm satisfied with I will post in the auction system discussion.

QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Feb 18 2017, 20:13)  Well, since a bid extends the time by 15 minutes there can't be actual sniping anyway so I cannot see what's the big difference between Super's auctions and past auctions.
Exactly. Sniping is not even a real issue because of extends yet people keep complaining about it and trying to prevent it. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE I think I made it pretty clear that I don't care about that, I put a bid to see if I could get a slaughter with good range for less than 10M, I'm completely ok not winning that (it's not even the first helmet I bid on, I always get overbid because I want to get if for cheap), I'm not ok with proxy bidding being used in that way, because it's exactly what Super wanted to eliminate with proxy bidding. I guess I misinterpreted your first post, I apologize. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) I think the bot bidding system was mainly designed to make the bidding easier as well as providing an opportunity to participate for the people that can't be present during the closing time. It serves its purpose well and everything else is just a bonus. QUOTE I happen to agree with Super and I think doing so is rude to other participants and disrespectful of the work he has done do disincentivate this behaviour. Feel free do disagree.
Frankly, yes, I disagree. I don't see what's rude about it at all. Someone had been winning some item for X days, but then someone else with more money came along and bought it? Well, that's just how auctions work. The bidding is open to the last second for a reason.

Making new bot bids is already disabled for the extend time.

QUOTE(cmos @ Feb 18 2017, 05:01)  It depends on when you bought them. Some months have significantly less activity than the others so things may be cheaper. And of course when several people are badly interested in something the price rises too. Matra sure made those toys expensive today. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) For a while there were a few people that would bid against me to raise the price of auction items for their friends if they knew my WTB price. Bastards. There was one auction where the price was getting too high and I was sure thats what they were doing so I stopped bidding after 35m, then three people withdrew all their bids and the price crashed back to 18m. >.>

Did you manage to report them? Or is that not a thing here (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) If it was only one guy I could at least consider blaming it on auction fever (like me (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) but 3 guys?

It's the dawn of a new year. Reflecting on my journey so far, I find that I'm little wiser from all that work I put into ginding. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) No, that's too harsh. I met some very nice people. And I collected some good gear. I found some very funny monster names. - level 451 - 114 monsters - 3 equip > 20m - 1 equip > 10m - Adept Learner 300/300 - Scav 50/50 - Arch 8/10 - QM 17/20 - LotD 16/25 - All good Hath perks exept: list of perks I don't have I think I did okay for one year. Maybe a nice benchmark for new players? Thanks to all who helped me with advice, buying stuff from me, selling stuff to me, entertaining me with funny monster names and posting in my favorite threads. Retire?
