The people who voted no must be unemployed or students.

This feature definitely has to be in this game. Server argument is laughable, we had three times as many users and the game was stable.

More people being able to bid would mean a raise in demand and thus a raise in prices...

Less people being able to bid would mean a raise in savings and thus a raise in prices.

Or some people are masokists that enjoy the thrill and frustration that a good bid war generates.


Maybe.

I missed another player today, because I had to work. Will miss another one tomorrow.

No autobid is just lazyness on the developers side, there are no negative effects really.

There was an official poll on the question some time ago labelled this way:
"Are you in favour of automatic bid if it's only for Supporters ?".
The "no" won.

Keep in mind that any website needs money to live. If people become Supporter, it's some money. If they aren't, they have to come on BB and hopefully not use adblock.



But everybody could vote in that poll, right? I mean, it's difficult to manage that, but if you're trying to put something new in the game just for the Supporters, it would make sense to just ask them in order to get them happier. So, how are the ones that maintane the game?

If I never thought about making myself supporter, I would not agree with giving them advantages either.

I mean, it's difficult to manage that, but if you're trying to put something new in the game just for the Supporters, it would make sense to just ask them in order to get them happier.

You could do that. You'd be ignoring the fact that the majority of people aren't supporters, and it would be a pretty dire game if there were only supporters left, which could happen if advantages are given to supporters, which autobid would clearly be. You're also ignoring the fact that every non supporter could be regarded as a potential future supporter. Giving massive advantages to supporters will not make potential supporters more likely to buy.

I voted 'Yes', and think it would be a nice additional functionality of the game.
