A proper autobid would only lengthen the time after an overbid by someone online.

ex.

1) Team A bids $40,000. Team A autobids max $100,000. The auction ends at 12:00:00 pm.

2) Team B bids $45,000 at 11:59:00. The auction still ends at 12:00:00.
3) Team B bids $50,000 at 11:50:10. The auction still ends at 12:00:00.
4) Team B bids $55,000 at 11:50:30. The auction still ends at 12:00:00.
5) Team B begins to panic and bids $90,000 at 11:50:45. The auction still ends at 12:00:00.
6) Team B really wants the player and bids $125,000 at 11:59:55. The auction now ends at 12:02:55.

At step 2) thru 5) the auction is not extended. This would be a proper setup.

I think the biggest improvement area should be advertising.

I first discovered BB seeing an ad, at the time division 5 leagues were as competitive as division 4 leagues are now. Sure this game has its flaws, but overall it's a great game, people may quit occasionally because they don't like something about the game engine or whatever, but overall I think (especially for micronations) they quit early on because they tire of playing bots.

Overall, I think the engine is for the most part fine, we just needs to focus on advertising this great game.

Great Lakes Spartans

I agree. Oh my, my first V league... Ugh. Had at least 4 threats in that league.

Now I have 4 threats in my IV league. It's sort of sad. In my first IV, I had 11-12...

I hope more people play BB.

I agree, if there was to be an auto bid system I believe that auction time should still extend as per the current system, when there are last minute bids

Got to say Im still shocked that "reducing the effectiveness of gameshape training" is ranking 3rd in the poll.

I included it in the poll like many of the other "possible solutions" not because i thought it was a valid "cure" but because it had been discussed in forum threads.

I personally wouldnt rank it in the top 10 but each to their own.

I wish I had of thought to include the "relative balancing of offence strengths" as a candidate.

Im also a bit surprised that "improving the reliability of the website" hasnt got more of a vote as it wasnt great during the recent start of this season


If an app was to be introduced the game might quickly grow so that the website might have to carry 10 times as many users, likewise an autobid function might also overload things as well
