+1 I think having a feature like this would be super cool for those of us wanting to auction quite a few bits off :3

 

-1 In my opinion the cooldown is to prevent spam in chat

 

True, but everyone can turn off auctions spammy mwsssges. or leave entirely

 

having this feature would be great for ppl who actually use the auction to sell their merch.

big +1 from me

agree that 5 mins is a pain in the ass when u actually have stuff to sell

 

If the feature gets abused,
You lose the feature, just like with a abuse of any current feature.

+1

 

imo roll it into patron - auctions exist on most servers across different game modes.

 

OOh I like the patron idea!

 

I second nicit’s idea of patron

 

That has been suggested here and denied in the past.

 

Yeah, andrew said this entire thing (not my suggestion here specifically) would never happen. That was 8 months ago. Maybe he'll say the same, maybe he won't.

 

+1 for a auctioneer feature

 

also were not asking for it to be removed completely this time.

 

thank you captain obvious ;)

I like this but I'd rather grow it to be a full "Merchant" feature with some other stuff in the basket.

 

Im just stating the obvious because some people seem to think the feature will be abused.

So if its so obvious, i dont understand why everyone seems to think it will be abused, it wont be because people will have their feature taken away when they abuse it lol.

 

So I've just done a lot of rethinking on this suggestion, and I've come to the same conclusion.
No matter what I do, there will be a queue rush by patrons/those who can bypass.
Even if I limit the queue to 1, people will create macros to keep their next planned auction at the top of the list, essentially destroying auctions for users without the feature/patron.

There is absolutely no way to properly make this suggestion happen without negative side effects.
I will however semi-approve this suggestion, and go with slicing the auction cool down in half.
This means it is now 2.5 minutes. As an auction lasts 1 minute, you only have to wait an extra 1.5 minutes to get your next one queued up.
This is THE BEST I will do on the discussion of auction cool down.
