1. bidding problem - do i am the only one, who often cannot bid on player while there are still some 30sec left, and it says "auction is already ended"? it hapens even when i open players page, bid and the page loads completely again, all hapens in 4-5 seconds, so my connection is ok.

2. enthusiasm - i played a game with "crunch time" attitude, the next game i played "take it easy", why my enthusiasm is not back to 5?

1. It can happen, server 1 and 2 have slightly different times, and depending on which one you are you may find bidding discrepancy. I use server 1 (www) when bidding, and server 2 (www2) for just about everything else.

2. It shouldn't be back to 5: when you play CT, the enthusiasm is cut into half; when you play TIE the enthusiasm increases, but not to twice what it was...it's an increase of about 33% (estimated).
So you had 5, cut it to 2.5 (displayed 2), add a 33 or so %, and you have about 3.5

If you want the player do not wait until it's 30 sec before expireing (3 minutes will be added to the time anyway). I have won some players earlier because of auction dragger players like you (who try to bid at the last second and the transfer expires before). When you want a player bid on it do not wait till the last second to just drag the transfer.

CT -50% TIE +33%

But over time enthusiasm tend to return to 5. So between those tho games it would rise a bit so it would be a bit more than 3.5 probably.

I dont wait till last second, 30sec is a lot of time, especially in computers world. the question then is why auction ends in wrong time, is it really the two server differences in time?
and i have my reasons why i dont bid as soon as my bid is no more the highest, but i wait some time ;)

Yes it's the server issue and it happens from time to time. I understand that you want to drag it out and perhaps the other side gets frustrated and just leaves. After the 11-th time of bidding near the last second it gets kinda old. I hope this would happen more often. I've had some players lost because it got dragged long about an hour and then some other dude joined in:)
It makes me extra glad when those draggers get punished by auction ending sooner. Just love it and I hope it would happen more often. They could even add a feature that auction ends between 21:50:12-21:52:12. So if you really want the guy you would bid earlier and you would bid in the first minute of those added 3 to the transfer time.

Yeah, considering the days he's probably at 4. Even if it tends to 5, it's not like it adds a level each day, especially if you're so close to 5.
