Thread: Auctions...

  1. #1

    Auctions...

    I haven't been able to attend auctions for over a month... I am sure many US players haven't either, because we have been in school. Can there be auctions more than every 2 weeks? If so, could you do one when most people from the USA can get in them? It kinda sticks, I mean all of these new auction rares, and no chance of getting them unless you miss school... Which I can't.

    There used to be too many auctions, it is better when there is fewer.

    I agree actually makes the new auction items more rare and actually worth something

    Yes but everyone should get a fair shot at winning, and not just a certain few every time

    If they hosted auctions regularly almost everyone would have the prize. This way it keeps it rare and fair.

    i think maybe auctions should be held twice in the two week time loop one for each basic time zone so usa players get fair shot at items and then keep the time for the other places i could only imagine you have been waiting patiently then BAM the auction is held during math class

    That is impossible to do though. If you have at US time zone then the rest of the world misses it and Europe time means the rest of the world complains and so on. They could try and switch between the main time zones but people would still be unhappy.

    This is a good point, it keeps items rare instead of them being jokes used for trading purposes.

    Current auction guidelines have them approved to be hosted every two weeks. There is nothing automatic, so really the first staff member who decides to host an auction once we are at the required two week timeframe hosts, that is how it occurs.
