Auction Improvement

What I am proposing is to improve the auction by shortening the time by 30 min. and making possible to allow the top 3 bids on any item to win said item.

The way it would work is say you want to bid on an Lf-4 that is priced at 25k uri, the highest bid is 550 mill credits but you have 400 mill credits and someone else has 300 mill credits you bid that amount and the top three bidders get the item.

This way you can have up to 3 winners every 30 min. but they must be 3 different winners not 1 winner 3 times.

The auction time has been upgraded to every 30 min. to speed up the process.

 

The point of the auction is to win uridium items for credits, using an item that isn't in the auction as an example was also a bad idea. I really don't see the point of this and see no need for it. Say someone bids 6500 uridium on an LF3, another bids 6600, and so on. Eventually the highest bidder would probably be paying sticker price for the item.

 

Havin uri bids in auction should still happn for 2nd an 3rd bid winners to speed it up for everyone.

 

That still defeats the purpose of the auction and I'd rather lose then pay uridium for something I'm trying to not pay uridium for.

 

Im with adam, never bought uri, and never will because of the way the game is designed to work.

I love his game but it will chew you up and spit you out if you let it, im not joking. Aswell as the overpowered players to deal with you also have the old "chance" element in this game.

Again, B.P. would lose alot of money in this idea if they started messing with the sanctity of uridium currency, inevitably to an extent de-valuing it.

Lets not forget these are the people that brought out bio for our accounts then made NPC shield strength more resilient as a result of that extra power, this wont fly, and as adam said it defeats the purpose of auction.

 

Gee guyz, if havin partial the amount of uri for an item can't score a chance for more than just 1 winner an hour then why not offer the top three bidders to win per hour?

 

As previously stated, I'd rather save the uridium and win the item for credits which was the whole point of bidding and having the auction to begin with. Multiple winners, meh, I don't know about that but definitely not uridium auctions, that makes no sense.

 

Alright, let's take uri bids off but instead like Dread says make the top 3 bidders win the item as long as they are all not the same person.

 

Yea!!! I like that.

 

Or maybe the idea of shorter auction times on certain things? We already have a weekly, daily and hourly auction so what about a auction time that is shorter for things like ammo because the amount of ammo received from a hour action isn't much worth it really.

Or maybe a way of people to auction their own equipment? For example I've got more equipment then I need from booty boxes and stuff and instead of me just selling it what about a way of being able to pass that on to someone who needs it?

All ideas of mine thrown in there

 

Cool idea about the shorter auction but the item trading has been suggested an shot down by D.O. many times over.
So u say make a shorter auction like 30 min. for ammo?
That would be cool but the focus of this thread is to get more than just one winner of auction at a time.
Havin the top 3 bidders win to help the auction move along for more than just a few would help with ammo and everything else.

 

Wouldn't both be possible?
Shorter auction times and multi-winners?

 

Shorter auctions seems like the way to go.

 

I would like Shorter auction times and the auctioning of own equipment.

 

Yer own equipment auctions would be great but that idea dies every time i see it.

 

What we need is for LF4 to be placed in the shop! I have used over 1000 Booty Key's since Christmas and only had 2 LF4, this is pathetic and total greed BP! No way are 2 LF4 worth over 500k uri each for only 50 extra dmg eg: LF3 = 150 dmg lf4 = 200 dmg, tell me how an extra 50 dmg is worth the total cost of trying to get an LF4, LF4 + Booty Key is a SCAM and it's as simple as that!

 

No one is making you chase LF4's, your probably not collecting on double LF4 day, this is the wrong thread to even mention this, go away.

 

Bidding in Uridium would defeat the purpose of the auction. The developers already stated the they will never (never) put LF4 in Auction or Shop. This thread is useless since they will never add it. 25,000 Uridium for a LF4 is way to low anyways and would be unfair for the players who spent years and effort to get them from Pirate Booty. 3 winners is not even an Auction, have you watch a real auction in real life? The person who bids the most is rewarded the item, they don't split the item in thirds out of the 3 highest bidders. Since you bid for Uridium items why would you bid in Uridium, that wouldn't make any sense, eventually you would be bidding for the price tag.

Now if we made shorter auctions for ammo, mines, Xenomit and etc.. that wouldn't be a bad idea. In fact we can put more units instead of 1,000 for ammo and 100 for rockets. 10,000 for ammo and 1000 for rockets since there isn't a ammo cap anymore. They can make a 30 minute bid period just dedicated for ammo. Anything with extras, old ship designs or boosters can stay in the hourly bid section.

Now maybe if you want to put your own equipment for auction, I'm not sure if this will happen since you can put you own starting bid and a buy now price tag. Maybe in the future we may have a User Bid Auction.

 

This was posted under (Update & Idea Pool) My idea was to have LF4 in Shop....I'm not going anywhere, I'm a paying playing customer, don't ever tell me to go away!

 

Go away! (jk jk)

I don't think the shorter auction should have anything other than the Standard ammo. So x4, x6, CBO, CBR, hst-01/02, RB-214, Winter event freeze rockets, etc etc...., they shouldn't be on it.

How about Wiz?
