Please, make them bind on acquiring. This is really silly to not even stand a chance to get one of the Deluxe Supply Packs because there is some resellers sitting around with millions of crowns waiting to buy them all out to resell.
Featured Auctions, of course.
They are items that you trade in for Prestige in Prestige Missions.
Or flood the market with a good amount of packs....
Edit: Information is obviously not appreciated, therefore I'll retract it.
I bring up Featured Auctions beause... Three Rings add those packs at discounted prices in a batch of 10 to the Featured Auctions. You might be oblivious to this because they sell out instantly.
You did click on the link, right? (I don't see you commenting on that at all...)
Whole point being, you have every chance to get one of the Deluxe Supply Packs, every day, all day (unless it happens to be reboot right then).
Which removes your reason to request items with buyouts in the Auction House being bound upon purchase.
You missed the mark:
OOO
Puts out
Discounted
Deluxe Supply Packs
in the
Featured Auctions
"to not even stand a chance to get one of the Deluxe Supply Packs"
You have every chance.
End of story.
So, how about you try actually reading what I said?
Let me say it again
OOO releases to the Featured Auctions the Deluxe Supply Packs at a discounted price.
"Edit: Information is obviously not appreciated, therefore I'll retract it."
Obviously it isn't at it has no relevance to the actual problem here
>Check AH
>Supplies
>Meh
>2 hours later, same story.
No they dont get bought out instantly and this is a stupid idea. OP is just angsty cause other people get a business opportuniy and he doesnt.
Well... I didn't pay attention at those packs to check if what OP said is true, but they do have this problem with chapeaus so I'm gonna agree with him.
"And again, thats a business opportunity lost."
Only if you are a reseller and not someone who actually wants to buy those for yourself to use them for the prestige missions.
You might be thinking of the Standard Supply Packs. As for Deluxe Supply Packs, I didn't even know they were there, which only supports Paweu's statement that they sell out too quick for you to get a chance to see they're there, nevermind buying them.
Like Byas also added, I rarely get the chance to even see the chapeaus on the Auction House these days. Only the leftover tabards which only a minority are interested in.
Same opinion as Shidara's; I've never even noticed those packs existed.
And I'll also add that it's unfair for any non-US players (assuming those items are posted at US time, again I have no idea since I've just learnt the very existence of these packs).
Last argument: system featured auctions don't seem so exciting if there's no struggling to obtain it. Being on at the right time is not what I would call a challenge; giving the last bid is a real challenge.
I should also mention that the CTR: High Robo Wreckers were also once in the Featured Auctions.
Paweu, I'd expect you to know that not only people who buy items for their personal use take part in an economy, there are the greedy [DATA EXPUNGED] too.
And I've seen all the three types up. Twice. Maybe I was there at the right time. Twice.
+1 to paweu, i suggested it ages ago too.

For those of us that spend most of our time actually playing the clockworks/missions, and dont spend all our time idling in haven, then this is really frustrating.
I dont mind people reselling. its just that there is no opportunity for those of us who would actually use the items to get them, as the merchants pick them up as soon as they appear before we get a chance to get them.
And yes, deluxe packs do get mass bought up. one merchant was offering on trade to sell them for better rates if you bought packs of 50...
Id rather buy them from vatel.
I've suggested something similiar earlier it seems but I can't recall posting it.
What are included in these?
