As the auction house is closing tomorrow on it's first duel weekend, I thought I'd start to look at getting some feedback for next month.


Things that I'm going to try out next month:
1 weekend only
2 seems like overkill however it would mean there would only be about 40 sets ig
Set a minimum increase 
Set a starting bid
Increase the maximum bid amount.
Male auctions every hour and female every 30mins


The next auctions would be held on the 14th and 15th March.


What did you enjoy?
What did you not enjoy?
What would you improve?
What went well?

I support one week only because that felt like more than enough for me at least. I like that it was a new thing so it was fun and you can get it cheap if you're lucky.

Yeah that's the feeling I'm getting too that 2 weekends is too long. So I agree with that.
Next month I'm only going to do the 1 weekend and see how we go from there.

I think 1 week is fine tbh, but if its two weeks, male sets could maybe be sold every hour maybe, seems a bit much with 40ig for males if its only mains allowed even after no one bids anymore

hmm yeah that seems fair
if its only 1 week I think one set every half hour is fine tho, that makes 20 sets yeah? I think thats an appropriate amount for males, regardless of if its 1 or 2 weeks

Well it would be still over 2 days so - 40ig for females (approx) and 20ig for males (approx)

What did you enjoy? - Having a new fun event in VP! Things ran smoothly in my opinion. It was also nice to stalk what people bid :'D

What did you not enjoy? - Seeing tons of auction threads in the competitions section. However I understand if they must stay there for a certain period time. Seeing winning bids fluctuate a lot (for females, from like 15cr to 500ish. And this was probably because so many copies are being given out)

What would you improve? Hold the auctions for one weekend only, so that the amount ig would be ~40. Another idea maybe have a starting bid (like 10cr males, 20-30 for females) -> the sets wouldn't be given out multiple times for ridiculously low prices. Wasn't one purpose of this event to get credits off the system?

What went well? - The codes were sent quickly. I also think that it was a nice idea to lock the sets before all copies are given out (compared to the other auctions).

I'm not personally a fan of the forum auctions. I liked that people could only win once, giving other people a chance ot win the sets, but it made the forums crowded and of course people just waited until the last minute to bid anyway. You had the set selling for like 600cr at the beginning and then someone winning it for 1cr later. It's kinda overwhelming having 3 auctions in a month. Idk, I guess I just don't understand the appeal since we have a system that does auctions decently already (minus the only winning once part)

I can understand that with the forums.
That's why once a code has been received by the winner I have be re-scheduling the forums for the next time to help keep them nice and tidy <3 I hope that's been working out at least! Like if you go and look now you won't see any from before 16:30.

I agree with the starting bids and maybe having a starting bid also depending on the set and a minimum and maybe a new max increase figure?

So I had bid 10 cr on the male set, another male offered 12 cr and I didn't win

which means you was outbidded.
The person with the highest bid at the end of the time period get's the set.
You just can't go (for males anyway) 50c - 100c as it's more than a 20c jump.

Oh, I thought it meant you need to overbid with at least 20 cr
