Title: The Market
Post by: UnderLord on March 29, 2009, 10:00:54 PM
When using the market and you place a bid on something that has 1 minute left on auction, the time should not go upto 44 minutes! it should stay at 1 minute some people don't have time to wait 44 minutes while you wait to get your item. This is in the trade good section. Can anyone tell me why it sets the time to 44 minutes? Anyone? I think this should be changed if you bid on a item with one minute left, you should get that item in 2 minutes 1 minute for letting the timer run out and then 1 minute for the game to update your cargo hold, or maybe have a "delivery time". I Dunno but it is a little dumb.

Well maybe emi can implement an "Ebay-type" system where you type in the max amount you wish to spend on the item and the game will bid on your behalf until it hits your max.

As long as the time doesn't reset to 44 minutes everytime sure why not, but the logical thing to do would to lower the time it takes to get the item, i hate waiting 1 hour to get a itme i bid on, then only to have the market not offer to buy it for several days which is what is happening right now im starting to think the game purposely does not offer to buy items you have bought. For example last night i see "Frozen foods" offers 5 times in 2 hours so i buy some frozen food, now i have 1 million units and no buy offers from the market! WTF?! and that was 2 nights ago. Now i see buy offers for synth. coffee but oyu know what if i buy coffee i bet the game will stop offering to buy it. Maybe its just timing.
