No
Yes, only irl tho

Suggestion -
FT re-vamped but not much
seems to have changed
example being this thread
Is it possible to liven things up a bit
with a few contests?
Something such as recreating
the current auction set using items
from your wardrobe
OR create a fit using only items
by the featured designer
and best look wins 1 auction set

I won PD set, don`t want cr set that time... I bumped June topic today, because I think we need to discuss actual situation with the auctions. The auctions in past 3 months did not attract many players. I think auctions do not fulfil their function of withdrawing money from the game

I watch movie now and try to figure out sentences while following the plot
Partly I agree that problem is connected with the sets, though it doesn`t mean that the sets aren`t good enough. Personally I like Areximache designs and wear them regullary, though I see they are not so popular. As I told, previous auction with expensive sets was 3 months ago, in April. I don`t remember what was Cr set, but pd set was https://en.virtualpopstar.com/clothing/avatarmanagement?x=set_info&set_id=star. Like, ppl want to see Allie, Sol, and may be some other famous designer`s sets

the problem with sol sets from my understanding is that they (sol) seem to always be in charge of making the high tier mcw sets, and i imagine they don't have much time for else

there seems to also be generally a decline in sets available for other categories (manager sets, DM sets) so idk if hosting auctions is helping in that regard

Agree as well. May be even not decline at all, but "old" vp designers draw less items, and relatively "new" designers are underestimated by players. Looking through ppl blogs, the amount of new created not in game sets is high enough. May be players just got used to typical style of some designers and now want the items created in that style, not diferent ones

set availability is more or less based on which team the sets were sent to/if the sets in these blogs were sent in at all. for example ET has its own dedicated set storage here: https://en.virtualpopstar.com/social/forum?category=15&topic=324298 - as in these sets can only be released in ET events/codes/etc. so it can easily be that the "main storage" is running out, but i could be wrong
