You are keeping writing "slogans" or "catch up phrases".

Now your main claim changed into - most people prefer current system, and that ("fact") not much leaving due to this unfairness.

1) The voting had been splitted up.
The voters are usually those who have time, and hence had tendancy to vote for the current system who give them advantage.

2) One of the very few who wrote here told that he considered leaving the game due to this system.

3) Guess what, those who already left could not add their vote to that...

4) By what the new suggested system preventing those who "like the current system" (but somehow you fail to explain why) behaving the same?
Reminder as I keep repeating myself - the last bid in an auto-bid system is the same bid (and only one) that a user that who could not attend an auction in current system will put.

5) Auction is not an "eBay" tool.In any way it is already implementing an auction...
But, users does not get to BB managing because they fill they want to "eBay". Otherwise, they would just go to eBay...

I'll repeat my answer to you too...

OK, let's assume this is the reason, and not an excuse. [I think this is an excuse, but let's make a new statement]

A solution - new users cannot use auto-bids!
They need to be a full season in the game before they can use it.

You've got what you've wanted, and still the new auto-bid system can be used.

i just want autobid every thursday who follow up a week, where the friday the 13th fall together with the full moon in australia. IF you shouldn't put in to many extra rules besides mine, because this one really rocks.

Again, a repeated slogans that were used and answered more than once before moving to another (after proved wrong).
So...
1) The Auto-Bid is not "rocks" - it come to fix unfairness on a game that is about BB managing and not come to test who has less limitations on life.

I still thinking that existing autobid, can not coexist with normal bidding even when you saying that bidding against an bot who never failed don't used trick is that fun like bidding against others. Een when you say to everyone that they lie when they say it.

2) There is nothing to "think" about. Prove why it is different.
It is not - as I've already gave examples many times before.

i won't say so, especially cause the advatage is very low, i am also buying often with a overbid how you say it - i call it a fair price.

I say the voters are often those dudes, who read the first post which is mostly in favour of the suggestion and vote then before making deeper thoughts or reading the discussion.

2) One of the very few who wrote here told that he considered leaving the game due to this system.


which give me more the opion that the vote is biased towards the suggestion, instead of against it.

3) Guess what, those who already left could not add their vote to that...


if that is so crucial then obviously a change will, lead to peiople leaving without getting those back who didn't continued.

4) By what the new suggested system preventing those who "like the current system" (but somehow you fail to explain why) behaving the same?

the problem is you don't see it, so it is boring to bid against. And when you see it, there will be friends bidding just below the auto bid, or people who simple enjoy this. And this could lead to overpaying more, then you will most likely put in a higher number cause you say someone else had to pay the same amount then me before i pay it.

I don't agree. What is known is that they where splitted up, so the argue most (and by far) prefer current system is just wrong, and this is the main point I had there.

One of the very few who wrote here told that he considered leaving the game due to this system.

Yes, because those who against the new system just doesn't vote, but they are against it. Sounds "right"...

Guess what, those who already left could not add their vote to that...

if that is so crucial then obviously a change will, lead to peiople leaving without getting those back who didn't continued.

What will happen is that there will be less users who will leave the game due to this unfairness system.
On the other hand, saying that people will leave it due to eBay feature changed just shouts that your trying to find exuses against the suggested system.
This is NOT why users stay in the game, and I still didn't see why it changes things to those who favour it (excpet the fairness issue).

the problem is you don't see it, so it is boring to bid against. And when you see it, there will be friends bidding just below the auto bid, or people who simple enjoy this.

I just didn't understand your claim here.

First of all, an excuse of what? I am in Div.V, do you think I have any actul say in this matter?
Like I've said, I've never bought any player at night either.


Anyways, the problem I pointed out is what I see as most remarkable.
It surely isn't the only reason why the community of BB voted against it.
But if 100+ pages of discussion and a poll isn't enough, what can I say.

Not that it is important, but it is 100 posts and not 100 pages.

Anyhow, this is why you brang specifically that point you brang and no other, and when the solution had been found to approve auto-bid and to answer the "problem" you've raised none other.

The poll didn;t prove it wrong.
It is basically splitted.

Well, he voted yes, so that´s obviously a reason to call it split.

Pini, have you ever coded anything? I did some minor coding in C++, most 'goto' commands and such working on a very small and simple RPG. We went through a game, probably 20 Hours of play time, and I spent many many hours just coding my small section of the game (Narrative and 'goto' commands to link one place to another).

I put probably 100 hours into my side of the project, no telling how much my friend put into the more complex issues while I was doing character concept or story board... and he had all the hard equations and such to deal with.

Have you ever looked at and read code? Also not that one wrong keystroke can mess up the entire program, like the e I didn't put at the end of note. Did you catch that the first time, not instead of note? Probably not. Then, 2 hours later, when you are done plugging in all the code and go to run it... you have an error. Then you sift back through all that code, line on top of line, to find on little stroke missing.

To say it wouldn't cost (in man-power, lost customers due to bugs, etc) or that it wouldn't take long to code are wild claims. Unless you are an amazing coder... then I am sure you could write the code and offer it to the BB Gods. Maybe they would use it then.

Okay, thank you for this consideration.

A solution - new users cannot use auto-bids!
They need to be a full season in the game before they can use it.

Since your main argument is that some users are at a disadvantage in an unfair market, and that is all solved by introducing auto-bidding, why would you then intentionally put the new users at a disadvantage? You have been telling they are leaving the game in droves due to not getting to auto-bid. Now you just can't get them out the door fast enough.
