I voted yes but I misunderstood the poll. I would have voted no and I can't change my vote :(. I thought it was "would you be ok with it" but it was "do you think it would be an unfair advantage". Should have read more carefully.

I'm not a supporter, but I would be totally ok if supporters only had it. 1 autobid, isn't really matter for an unfair advantage, as much as convenience: in my eyes it's the same kind of thing as being able to use bookmarks to track players.


Edit: Oh well, Giannis I. made the opposite mistake, so his and mine will cancel each other out.

I voted yes as i like the idea of not having to set the alarm in the middle of the night just to get outbid on that perfect trainee you have been looking at for the past three days.
And i really like the part of just one active autobid.
Sounds like we made the same mistake...

I am not a supporter and I voted no.

I don't think this features is an unfair advantage. It is an advantage but not so big in my opinion.

But I understand why some people feel reticent

I'm in the same position. Not a supporter, and don't really think the autobid would make me feel disadvantaged. I play another game where that is also the position and I don't feel inconvenienced.

Besides, even as a non supporter, supporters having autobid can give us one tiny improvement. If we're in bidding wars with an autobidding supporter, at least the auction won't go on for the best part of another half an hour.

Your still bidding against other managers and not a machine. If no other managers bid on a player there are no more bids and you can get the player cheaper then what you are willing to pay as a max price.

No, at that moment, a human being, with anxiety, nerves, and blood in the veins, will be bidding against a cold machine. A bidding war it's a complexity conjunction of good management and cold blood. It's a pressure war. At that moment, bidding, a human being is under pressure. A machine isn't.
