Please let's put a limit on how many Auctions a player can win per day.

  • Some players just won't let anybody win and bid every auction on the last minute to get the items.


    Then it looks like this:

    I believe a limit would fit in nicely, say 5 auctions per day is fair bit, and will let everyone get something from the Auctioneer.


    What do you think?

  • immagine a dead end uni where you have only 3 active players, they are not able to take all daily auctions, or when there is all day auction event

    I am makeing Silverwind's days

    And I am savage now!

    You are right, but then my suggestion is not the final solution, rather just an idea. You will still need to consider different scenarios before implementing this idea.



    in order to win more auctions you have to put the time in...most players just dont want to do that


    You are right, but my point is just that i seek fairness for all players. I'm glad you are actually here and replied to this thread, it's you who's smashing them Auctions all day everyday. I have nothing against you personally, if this is how you enjoy playing, so be it. :+D


    You already have import/export event which allows you to have at least 1 item per day. Leave the auction alone.

    Listen, i can get any item i want from the Auction, this is not about that. Winning an auction is easy, you wait until last 30 sec and then bid quick. It's simple. I'm not complaining that i can't get items from the Auctions. With my suggestion I only seek fairness for other players, so that we can avoid a situation when a single player overbids others 24/7. This is just not balanced. Read between the lines and silence your ego, this idea/suggestion is valid and a decent one, it makes sense, unlike you. BTW, why you so hostile to your fellow Ogame comrades and fans? Chill dude, and stop down-voting my submissions, which encourage discussion. If you can't contribute anything on this question, you don't have to reply here, just carry on script-farming ;-D or at least share something useful to improve Ogame for all.

    1. Don't bring my ego into this, you don't want to mess with it.

    2. This topic has been debated in the past, it's not the first thread.

    3. I dislike your thread, not reported it? How am I being hostile?

    4. So should this thread include only people who agree with you?

    5. Carry on script-farming? Elaborate!?

    If people use scripts for auctions that are illegal i agree thats not fair or balanced, otherwise they are not supposed to be fair or balanced.Skill and time invested get you better results just like everywere else...

    CZARAPUS this also doesn't make sense to you?

    Ye puttin limit to thosw script users on ah would be great!

    lol, i was not refering to scripts on Auctions, there's no such thing, but i joked about script-farming , when people use bots and scripts to farm inactive players .


    alright guys, this is kinda pointless , so i guess, take care and let's enjoy Ogame together. that's what unites us all, not need to argue about petty things . have a nice day y'all!

  • Time spend, time calculation, resources invested...if someone deserve a win, give that item to him.

    The only things i don't like about auctions are;

    1) The difference beetween who try to win from a pc, and who try to do it from a cellphone. Not fair imho, especially cause the tools for the auctions usable via pc.

    2) Who bully "you" (someone) because he has lost an item.


    Those are the only two things that need to be "reworked".

    Other way the thing is, "auction yes" or "auction no"...if you want the auction, who invest better get the item. Otherwise just remove it and keep going via explorer class or import/export.

  • If you think some people are not using bots for Auction, i hate to break this to you, You are incorrect

    i'm not really sure it's possible, do you have any proof or examples?? i played a lot of Auctions in the past 3-4 Unis and never suspected anyone of botting and never saw anyone bidding unnaturally. But use of farm-bots on the other hand is rampant. I would really love Ogame to be fair and raw for everyone, without all the exploits, DM included.

  • Well, you can put skills all you want, even if there's a limit of say even 10 auctions per day for a single player, you still keep that freedom of bidding and winning all you want, isn't it? Let's not miss the original point of my suggestion - Auctions could be fair for all to participate, even newbies would have a higher chance of getting an extra item here and there, instead of just a single experienced player dominating and taking the majority of items. I'm seeking this not for personal gain, but i wish to make it FAIR CHANCE FOR MOST PLAYERS, even those who can't sit on timers all day long, but just casually playing.

  • I would like to see a win limit I agree, like3-5 wins per day, Theres currently a player in my uni for the past 6 months or so legit almost everyday, spends well over 20mil on a single 10% resource boost, theres just no winning element for any players that are not so advanced in the game resources wise, whats worse is that I have seen him countless times on live auctions, he just dumps a few hundred mil on whatever item it is from the get go, which absolutely denies the majority of other players from a gamble, and no one on there right mind would waste that much res trying to compete with him, because no one is a super Miner playing and on going for 4+ years...


    How about two seperate auctions for let say top 300 players and another one from top 300 to 700 players etc?

    So under-leveled players actually have a chance...

    Also how about keeping the winner Anonymous, so hate messages is out of the quesiton?


    and imo if you guys call it a ''skill'' of who can spam the most resources during the last crucial 5 minutes of the auction, im sorry, but that is a poor boring mechanic. (imo)

    The last 5 minutes are random btw, it could be exactly 5 minutes or be 4:30 seconds etc...


    Also why not make it the whole time the auction is open and avaible?

    Some days I arrive late at home on week days and I have no option to bid but on week-ends, but as stated even during that time I could get lucky and grab an item when those big fishes are distracted/offline...


    To summarize I think personally It needs a small overhaul that is correct and FAIR to every player competing in the auction, and not just reserved to the top 100 miners/fleeters that have millions to bid completely cutting off like 98% of the player base off from winning anything.

    Because realistically at least in my Uni thats how it goes down everyday to the point I completely forget about the auction feature which is unfortunate..






  • mate, the part that i brushed to blue is the best recommendation for auctions. not that top 300 players are better and have more time for auction, its just they can bid millions to auction and still the %10-20-30 booster be profitable to them while a lower ranked player starts to lose after he bids 200k resources (due to low level of mines hence the amortisation in 1 week period).


    so a 2-3 auction houses for different ranks / points players could be nice.


    oh and anonymousity is the best offer i heard till today. i mean, why would anyone else want to know the winner? its either you won or not. the names only bring hatred and bashing from top ranked losers to lower rankeds.

    Shakma , dude, take a holiday or something :+D >>>> http://prntscr.com/purv9l >>> This is from today :+D


    BTW, also, you say 'they are not supposed to be fair or balanced' , yes, the Auction is not, but you are! that's the point, it seems that i want to encourage people to be more generous and fair, rather than change the system. So you see, it's not about they-the-system, but it's about you-the-player and your humanity :-) just realized this while re-reading your previous comment.

  • I was the only one bidding on that Kraken Bronze that i got for 1000 res. Hope its cool with you that i got that one.

    This whole discussion about auctions is pointless. The bigger issue is player numbers and unis dying really fast.

    Thats the reason i stopped buying dark matter until i feel like gameforge is doing something about it.


    Ps: If you want to show my wins here please show my best run

  • Yeah, this guys got nothing on actafoo in cygnus...
