Let’s talk about the [NEW!] RULE 8 of the BM

So, we finally did it. WG put in competitive bidding into WoT. As long as it seems, today's morning offer is basically is a test for it. (edit2: it is confirmed edit:can someone confirm this, who can actually bid?) Also, this explains why it's background is different.

The RULE 8 follows:

"

Surprise, guys—there’s also going to be an open auction this year! The rules are simple:

  • I put one lot up for auction with a minimum fixed price in one currency (either credits or gold) and a limited number of offers (for example, X pieces).
  • You won’t know the bids of other players, so just make a bid that you’re willing to pay. After placing a bid, the amount will be deducted from your account. Just like in the closed auction, we won’t keep the amount you spent if you lose the bid.
  • When the number of bids per lot exceeds X+1, you’ll see the competitive bid. Decide for yourself if you’re ready to fork out the money for this lot. A tip from me? If you really want to get a chance to win this auction, then put your money where your mouth is and exceed the competitive bid. But no hard feelings, mate, it's the Black Market, and we make no solid promises here. You know, someone can always come forward and outbid you…
  • The competitive bid is calculated based on the highest X bids and is updated every 10 minutes. The last update is 10 minutes before the end of the auction.
  • Change your bid as many times as you like.
  • At the end of the auction, all bids are frozen. You’ll no longer be able to change your bid.
  • The players whose bids are in the top X positions win.
  • The winners receive the desired lot, and all other participants’ bids are refunded, fair and square.

"

But, this makes us question things:

  • All the yellow background will be open auction? Because if it will be, then oh, boy, be ready to see AFK panther's price reach the moon. To infinity and beyond…..
  • What does WG want with this system in the future? Can this became a new auction system returning in more modes, like bond auctions, etc…
  • Will they even test it, if not enough people will bid on their "test" offer, because they choose something almost common?

Also, can anybody share us some screen, who does not have it already? Because the fact that many of us have it makes it hard, to actually check how this mechanic/interface works form the player-side, since you only get, the "get back later" text if you have it already.

Anybody anything else to share about this?
