Title: Auction House auto bidders
Post by: Tojo on July 21, 2014, 07:11:10 pm
Can someone put a stop to these players who use a program to automatically increase the bid by 1 gold? It is not very fair seeing as they don't even have to be present to win an auction.

I bid 60000 on a banner last night, before I had even refreshed the page I was outbid by 1 gold. I upped the gold to 70000, same thing outbid by 1 gold.

You know that is how auctions work right? If they set their max bid to something like 100000, and you bid 70000, it will set it to 70001

I haven't understood the basic premise behind online auctions.

I'm not really sure how to explain this using words, so I'll use pictures instead.

Hopefully the picture explains itself, because I'm not very good with words.
