If you are asking "Do you like auto-bid system?", then my answer is that I like it when it is applied on staff, but I don't like it when it is applied on players.
For me, it is very hard to decide the maximum bid amount of a player. Bidding staff and bidding players are different things. It is more difficult to find a "similar" player than a staff. Therefore, we are less willing to give up the bid for a player. If the max bid option is introduced, then I will have a headache. To be more specific, it is hard to find a price such that I can accept losing the bid for the player if the final price is only $1 or a little money higher than the price I offered. To decide the max bid price, I would be very anxious. It is not good for mental health.
It is not good for my mental health. Although we can bid as we normally do today, it is different for my mind. If I'm offline and lose the bid, then I will blame myself for not having time to participate the bid. Then, it ends. If we introduced the auto-bid system, then I will blame myself for not using the auto-bid system. It seems that it can't end. More choice is not always better. And if I use auto-bid, then I will be very anxious for max bid price. It's terrible for my mental health.

I would add one thing, like the way that you guys presented this poll and started the discussion. To me you should be doing more of this moving forward. congrats on the initiative.

I want to fill in a suitable price, display the number of bidders, and provide the function of modifying the bid list. It is an interesting approach to announce the winning bidder on the bid award date.

Would love the ability to make trades as well. Now that would make things interesting and fun. You'd increase your average user time on site while providing an awesome upgrade to the experience.

Now that would make things interesting and fun

no, it wouldn't

Seems to be a lot of "rich teams will pay more" comments. Rich teams usually get that way by not overpaying for players. If anything this gives the lower revenue teams a chance to sell players higher to become a rich team quicker. Rich teams tend to get that way by really working the market finding cheap players, training, and selling for high. That won't go away, but the people who don't have the time to put in all that work will have a chance to catch up. Not saying there aren't some advantages to the rich, but it's not like this favors ONLY the rich.

No, rich teams mostly get rich by tanking or taking advantage of micro-nation financial conditions.
With auto-bidding, these rich teams will easily get any player they'd like while the others will struggle fighting bots when they could try to get good deals with the current system.

To all AGAINST this feature.

You're enjoying long lasting bidwars?
You're happy with X last second bids against you?.

You're enjoying waking up at 2 am to bid a player?

You're happy in the morning to see the desired player was outbid during the night because you didn't want to wake up at 2 am?

yes
yes
yes
yes

These are things that make the game more interesting and challenging.
(In fact, there are times when I am the one to make that winning bid awake at 2 AM.) Anyway, dedication is part of the game.

Fine, this new system doesn't change much for you
