Heyo bros! I have some Auction House ideas, that may be helpful to all players who like to go to the Auction House :) (like me)

But onto the actual idea...

Idea #1 (and this one is a MAYBE): When you choose to buy an item instead of bidding, it will say "Are you sure?"

Idea: #2: You can create a mini account for the Auction House, so people can regularly look at what you are selling.

Idea #3 (changed): You can access the Auction House in the "ACTIVITIES" section.

and that's all my ideas for the Auction house :D, #3 is for the poor ones who accidently press Buy Now instead of bid :)

The 1st one is abusable and obviously no auction should work that way.

Because of your bid, other potential buyers might look away, but then you cancel it and screw the poor seller.

The only way I can see where #1 would work is if bids could only be cancelled within a very short time frame and with limits on the amount of times someone could cancel a bid.

#3 would need to be a toggle option. I don't personally want an extra step slowing me down on snagging a bargain, but if I can turn it off then I don't see why others shouldn't have it.

Sure thing for #2. Possibly with a fee for the extra convenience?

Possibly a fee. perhaps #1

Possibly a fee.

perhaps #1 sucks, but u can bid on stuff, and regret it.

The only way I can see where

The only way I can see where #1 would work is if bids could only be cancelled within a very short time frame and with limits on the amount of times someone could cancel a bid.

1)Player Main account cancel the bid. set again a high bid, then cancel, he do this a lot of time until he reach the "cancel limit"
2)Player Main sends all the money to an Alternate Account, then Player Alt account start again the "cancel strike" until his account reach the "cancel limit again"
3)Repeat step 2 as much as you want.

so that idea dont work. if you want to avoid on bid stuff that you dont mean to bid or you will regret the only option would be nice to add in the game is this:

Idea #3 (and this one is a MAYBE): when you choose to buy an item instead of bidding, it will say "Are you sure?"

but also could be apply to bids and with the option to "disable" this feature in option so if someone get annoyed by this message, they can disable it and if a player disable it and still bid on something they dont mean to bid then its player fault because they must check what they "bid" or what they want to "buy"
