I find this irritating as well, but it separates more easily the people who really want the item auctioned off from others. The changes you are suggesting would most likely add on several bidders to every auction that you bid on just because it's easier to track and follow.

Im srry its outa the topic but any1 here knows when the snarbolax avatar come on the forumn prefrences?

Ever think that you do the same thing to them? There are times when you're awake and they are asleep?

The world don't revolve around you, boyo.

i really doubt you are going to quite over this, and no OOO doesn't have to appease every member of the game. Sometimes people ask for things and they don't understand the consequences of what they are asking for.

Anyways, I sorta agree, but I hate sniping, so I disagree. If you really want an item then this is what you do. If it says Very Long, come back in 24 hours. If it says long, come back every 4 hours. If it says medium, come back every hour. If it says short, come back every 5 minutes. If it says very short, it'll extend the time every time someone bids, but don't leave :-D

long means that it is 4-12 hours before it ends. So, if you did check every 4 hours, you can't miss it. If you go slightly longer than 4 hours, then you could. Yea, it sucks if you need to go to sleep, but there is always the next one.

@Nordlead: long is 4 - 24hr, but your point still stands.

@Irevolutioni: Don't you realize that putting exact time on any auction, particularly the "good" ones, would jack up the price by an increase in bidders? Kind of like how the featured ones go for more than a regular one because of the increased exposure. And this sentence "when I have the money to get it I shoulda win it and not get outbidded because I was sleeping" makes no sense, because if you're sleeping you are not in the bid war you would have been if you were online, where the other bidder(s) might still outbid you till the point where you don't "have the money to get it".

heh here's more "I'm not getting what I want, OOO needs to reprogram for me...OR ELSE" stuff again. Yes, I know you want an ASI high pokey stick for LD. We all want one. Maybe...and here's some critical thinking at work....ragecraft or ragepunch for it. How much are you gonna be paying for an ASI high Flourish, 250k? That's 12 punch rolls.

Here's another idea. Find out how much money they sell for on average, put that amount of cr in a pile, and go of /2 and say "WTB ASI Flourish, ***kcr". Also, post on the forum.

Or, see if you can find a high-ASI flamberge or rigadoon. Same attack speed, slightly less damage, but attack procs.

or stop playing LD. You'll be amazed at the amount of money you'll not be spending.

Advantage of time zones? There is no advantage. I am in the USA. Now if I put an auction up at 6pm my time for two days it will end at 6pm in 2 days. If I put it up at 4am (noon +/- over in Europe) it will end at 4am. The only disadvantage for anyone is not being able to see when the auction exactly ends.. instead we get to see very short (1 sec to 5 mins), short (5 mins 1 sec to 1 hour), medium ( 1 hour to 4 hours), long, ( 4 hours to 24 hours), and very long (24 hours+)

At least I believe my times are correct..

I'm not going to moan about people in Europe making auctions end in Europe times. >.>

I sort of misspoke; I meant mist-crafting. Especially if you have an elevator pass, mist means next to nothing. I usually blow my mist on crafting either a flourish or an autogun in hopes of hitting a VH damage on fiend, a CTR high+ or an ASI high+. I have alts doing that too, but I should be focusing on making money, frankly. Those two items aren't very profitable.

"Bidding wars are supposed to exist always
If not then there shouldn't be a bid section.

My point is Bidding always End up untill the Buyout.
And Because If you don't have enough money to bid on it then you need to bid on something cheaper.
So your point is invalid."

I didn't understand much of this. You're just stating the obvious, I don't see the relation.

What I meant was that 1) if you missed an auction that someone won for x cr, that doesn't mean you would have won it for x+1 cr. There is no way of knowing how high the other bidder would have been willing to go. And 2) There isn't always a buyout, do your second point doesn't make much sense either.

You still don't seem to get my main point, displaying the exact end-time of auctions would make more players bid on whatever they are looking for. All the auctions you have won might have been missed by others who might have payed more for it than you. I bet you haven't seen it from that angle before.

"I'm not going to moan about people in Europe making auctions end in Europe times."

Wodanct pretty much wins this discussion
