Dear Era Community,
Before you beg the question, "How'd you respond to the fact that admins are extremely busy and can't always do auctions?" I am very aware of that. However, I've always loved attending auctions, and struggle with the irregular pattern of when sales start. Now, this may be due to my lack of understanding of the game, but I've yet to understand how admins decide when to start auctions. My incompetence has left me to believe that admins start sales whenever they feel like it, and I abhor that notion. I get it, "abhor" is a strong word, so perhaps I'll use "dislike" instead.
To get to the point, if admins are too busy to orchestrate auctions, I suggest an idea of a bot hosting sales instead. This way, it can regularly conduct sales and can prepare users like I to get ready for an auction. I, for one, am extremely fond of an idea like this and would love to see a change like this. If one questions what time frame I'm interested in, I'd like to see an auction hosted every week. Hosting sales can be a bit much for an admin to do, which is why I suggest the implementation of bots instead.
More auctions or the use of bots is just a notion and has large spaces for smart, regular players to suggest fantastic ideas, which can improve this design.
I'd love to hear all of your thoughts,
Sincerely Your's,
TyG/Tyttel
