Do I get it right?

Let us make a short simulation.

Team Alonso is setting up a player for sale. For 100.000$.

Team Perpete (I take you for this example ) likes the player and makes an auto-bid until 1.000.001$

What everyone sees is that Team Perpete is the highest bidder with 100.000$

Now Team Nachtmahr wants to buy this player.

I bid 200.000$ (like currently) and see: Team Perpete at 200.000$
Hmm. Okay.
I bid 300.000$ and see: Team Perpete at 300.000$
Hmmmmm.
I bid 500.000$ and still see Team Perpete.
Now I getting really *** off an make a last bid of 1.000.000$

Team Perpete is still the highest bidder at 1.000.000$

Is this the idea behind the proposal? Woud it work like that?
I am a process and numbers guy, so I need a valid simulation on such a topic.


Alonso, we are running in circles. Could you or Justin/Marin make a clear and detailed statement, how this auto-bid would work.
I guarantee you, that without such a structured post, you will have managers saying afterwards "If I knew it would be like this, I would never vote Yes/No!"

Example. 100,000 is the bid and someone placed an auto bid of up to 700,000. You go to place an auto bid of 600,000 and the bid automatically comes to 600,000, but it is not you who holds it, but someone who has a higher auto bid. Bids until you bury the auto bid. Or you put an auto bid, for example above, you put 800,000 and if the last auto bid was 700,000, your bid will be one above (706,000) and the auto bid will be at 800,000

Example:
- UserA sets autobid for a player on sale. Current price 100k, userA sets max of 700k.
- Autobid agent makes a bid of 100k and waits.
- UserB decides he/she wants to activate autobid and sets max 600k

What should happen then? Should those agents instantly make new bids one after another, until current offer exceeds 600k?
In that case, current price will be 600k+ in a matter of seconds/minutes.
What if those two users set some insane max amounts way bigger than player's real value? Again, current price will sky-rocket and nobody else is going to participate in the auction at all.



When userB makes the autobid 600k bid, the player price is increased to 600K in favor of userA.
Then player B can make a autobid of 800k, and the player price is increased to 701K in favor of userB.

(this is the way i would implement the autobid)

I play a game that avoids the auction all together and I fell it works much better than BB´s system: every manager can put bids to a player and that´s it, the highest bidder gets the player

And yet you have NOT put up a sensible argument, throwing rocks while living in a glass house. Don’t be hypocritical

why would you ever set a max amount you'd consider insane?

I'm glad with CMs work trying to make this game greater everyday, but auto-bid proposal is not one of the best ideas.
I voted NO because one of the strengths of the game's bidding system is the ability to find a bargain by bidding when no one else is online. That is an advantage that modest teams like mine appreciate a lot when it comes to managing our team economy and with an auto-bid system we are going to lose a lot of purchasing power.

I love how so many people say things like: it benefits the rich, I will not be able to find bargains amymore, etc.

If you are right, which I am not sure you are, that also means you'll get more money when you're selling a player and you'll get a fairer deal.

Don't be so narrow minded and one sided please.

there can be various reasons for this but let me list one at least - if userA has 20mil and userB has 2mil, then "insane" would mean differently for the two.
