New High Bid Limit
  • I would like to propose a 25 horse limit rather than 20. That’s one whole page worth of horses.

    (I normally have a huge amount of high bids so this will be a strategy change for me.)

  • We had members going to war with each other over bid sniping on Forest so I am trying to find the right balance. I want to monitor things a few more days before I make any adjustments but I am 100% fine with raising that some. The anti-spam addition is probably the much more critical limiter.

  • Update: I would like to strongly advocate against this limitation. I try to buy all horses in the auction over 13 pt and I’m often the only one bidding on the second page. (Caitrina excepted)

    Someone put a pasture worth of high pt horses in and they all expire at the same time. No one else is bidding on them but I can only get 20.

    I’m sorry Forest needs to be put in time out but I wish we weren’t in time out, too.

    I know things are busy and I’m not complaining that this should get adjusted now but I would ask it goes on the consideration list to be adjusted in the future.

    Thank you.
  • It was raised yesterday before you even posted this the limit isn't 20?

    The max number of concurrent high bids has been raised to 30, I am still keeping an eye on things to see if I need to raise the anty spam bid regulator to 10 seconds again.

  • I appreciate you. I was counting in my head. I didn’t check— my bad.
  • What would help is if people who have not bid on a horse could not start bidding within the last 1 - 5 min. of the auction. Well, unless it has no bids in that last few min.
  • @Caitrina I haven't use the auction much lately but sometimes the last few mins is when I see a horse I want to bid on
  • That is simply the nature of how auctions work. You can't reserve an auction by bidding early.

  • I know that. But you said you had a sniping problem, I was attempting to offer a solution. It's not a reserve either. The people who have already bid can still keep bidding. It's more of just narrowing the bidding field.
  • I belive that would greatly hurt the selling in auctions and we really don't want to force sellers to make less.
