Why?
maybe I just follow the bidwar and wait the right moment to come in. I don't need to make an early bid knowing that particular player will be sold for much more money

If you are followiung the auction then it seems you would have been there in time and could easily have entered the bidding. So what if you don't "need" to make a bid earlier. Is it really such a hardship to place a bid before the expiration if you are already following the auction?

In other words, as I stated once already, it seems like a pretty reasonable expectation.


Honestly I am stunned at the opposition to this concept. I was really expecting an overwhelming apathy towards it, but the way people are reacting I am actually starting to think that maybe I am on to something here. It seems like half the game doesn't want to bid unless an auction has already gone 15 minutes into overtime.

well as human beings we are susceptible to our own kind of nature

meaning some knowing who and what they want makes the bid with a price he thinks is reasonable or even to the point of trying to make sure no one gets him outbidden by puting what he thinks is the highest already and eliminates much competition.

another type are those playing safe meaning, i want this player but i want to get him at the cheapest or lowest possible amount that i can still have money on my account.

all i can say is, its a bid war . . . so whether a player just came in few minutes left and he see a player he wants and he has the money why not why cant he bid. put yourself on the seller's shoe of course you want more guys to bid so you can get more money.

anyone who wants to bid early or late that is your own style of doing, the question is now do you have the resources to own that player or even the real desire to really buy that player.

life my friends isnt fair, some have more and some have less. in this world that desparity made life really complicated but its your character or attitude to what should be and should not be and what action to take makes you a better person :D

What are you even talking about?

First you try to argue that it is fair to let guys into auctions late, and then you start explaining that life isn't fair. So do you think it's fair or not?

Why don't you make up your mind before arguing with me.

mate first of all, im not arguing with you

the reply was just address to you.

i just said something that is on my mind, if you feel offended i will say it wasnt purposely to be that way

Why would my telling you that your post didn't make sense equate to my being offended?

I think the system is fine as it is. None of these proposed suggestions would actually improve things.

I would get it back to 5 minutes, most of sold players is now without bidwar anyway and if you want someone cheap, you have to earn it!

Because without any bidwar are these players putted on TL overpriced only, this is very boring while you want to find someone now and player with 1 profilic preference is there for 2000 000 (not-sold) etc

I don't see any reason why It were changed to 3 minutes anyway. I remember that BBs did that without long thinking...

Because people were complaining that it was too long...

oh, okay

I was the one that pushed for a reduction to three.

Five is way too long and there is no reason to have to wait 5 minutes for a bid to be "confirmed".
