BidBlast - Feedback Thread :3

[Cryostix]

I want to thank the devs for listening. Although some changes aren't exactly what the userbase asked for, I think it's very good of them to try and fix the issues that came up. I think it's a very nice addition to the site and they are doing a good job implementing it.

You're right I am that sort of person
But you're missing one major point of my original statement
Gaia said it would never re-release old donation items (monthly collectibles) and judging by the fact they started off with a pair of mini wings right away makes me wonder how many items like that they're going to toss on there, and I know almost for a fact Red Minis will come back up

RIG pets such as Lucky and Milk remain expensive. Lucky was still at that same level of cost a year after his release. It has only been in the last 3 months about that his price has crashed and most everyone still likes the original more than the recolor. Trust me, I know my RIG pets. I've won every single one of them

Gaia said they would never mass re-release MCs. mass being the keyword.
They have been putting 03 items into the system on different occasions.

They had a wheel of fortune at one or more conventions which gave a chance at 03 MCs.
They gave out a halo through a raffle on the site.
The fact that they put 1 or even 10 or 20 of the 03 MCs into the market will hardly change the value of those items, the demand remains much higher then the supply

And what do the rest of us get in recompense? An apology?

Getting an apology is more then enough.
You didn't seriously expect to win those wings now did you? it would've been totaly random who'd win anyways, it just happened 2 days earlier now.

You've been knowingly throwing your gold at the wings which the odds of getting it are as low as winning the RL lotto rofl

Bidblast Will Be Changing
We're going to let the current auctions play out, but we'll be making some changes to Bidblast. For purposes of discussion, we're thinking of the following changes:

• raising the ticket price
  
• requiring the user to have the gold when they bid
  
• if you win, you automatically win -- that is, you don't have the option of refusing the auction

This will hopefully make the auctions resolve more quickly.

I know the reason for the +30 seconds rule is to prevent 1,000 snipers from bidding in the last seconds (as happens on eBay). But would-be snipers are jumping in anyhow and prolonging the "last" 30 seconds of auctions for days. Maybe there should be a minimum waiting time between buying a ticket and placing a bid, then another minimum waiting time between the bids.The action would be more nail-biting.

And DON'T put anymore cheap, common items up on BidBlast. Unless you lied about the auctions being for rare stuff. I'd bet the winner of that coat is not happy to be paying 100x its real value.

Agreed! I'm glad to know they are listening and trying to improve the game. I think it will get better, and I'm still looking forward to a chance to play.

There was a site outage so during that no one was able to bid, letting the timer go to zero.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll all get another chance at rares :]

"" outages are a fact of life, whether caused by an errant database server or unexpected asteroid. ""
