Looks like Only Auctions Moving Forward

Seems Rule #5 birthed this new rules:

Rule Number 6: Don't be greedy, and you’ll get the sweetest piece of the pie

Everyone wants a piece of the action on the Black Market, so I'm sure there's a nice profit to be made. So, from now on, we're introducing auctions, which allow you to set your own prices for the most popular lots. The bidding rules are pretty simple:

You have eight (8) hours to make your bid.

One lot with a minimum fixed price in one currency (Credits or Gold) and a limited number of offers is put up for auction.

Make a bid that you’re willing to pay. After placing a bid, its amount will be debited from your account.

Haggle and edit your bid as many times as you like.

At the end of the auction, bids are frozen.

The players whose bids are in the top N positions win (N might differ from auction to auction).

Winners receive the desired lot, and all other participants’ bids are refunded.

Honestly, I'm kind of happy with this.

I won't have to wake up stupid early just to see the tank sell out in ~10 seconds, and people at work have a nice window (8 hours) to "bid" on the tank before the next sale.

This also allows us to put the worth of a tank in the consumers hands, within reason. The minimum bid obviously sets the "bar" but, I can go deep on the tanks I REALLY want, and skim the bottom on ones I feel may be cool to have, but don't have a vested interest.

I'm sure some people are going to hate the auction, but overall I feel its a step in the right direction to take the BM away from the 10 second sell out shit show it has been so far.
