    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    SkyBlock Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    fix auction sniping
    What are you suggesting:
    To make it add 15 seconds to the auction if someone bids on the item under 3 seconds. It currently only adds more time one time per auction but make it so it does this every time until the auction ends. This gets rid of people just waiting for the end of the auction to try to snipe it. This also makes it like an actual auction where everyone can put in their bid until it reaches a price no one else wants to bid up on.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Auction sniping is stupid. whoever hits enter with the highest bid at 1 second wins rather it actually being like an auction.
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:

    I Understand.

    +1 in a way maybe make it to where it adds 15 seconds twice then you can snipe. Don’t make it unlimited though people will just troll most likely and make auctions 20 minutes

    I'd assume that's the reason why anti-snipe only works once.

    Either we accept the fact that players can snipe after n countdown extensions (with any number for n; as long as it's limited we're not going to fix the problem), or we might see auctions that last long enough to annoy the players with queued auctions.

    I see where you’re coming from, if someone has sniped the item once and it adds 15 seconds, the second time someone snipes it they pretty much instantly win the auction. Maybe make it so that you can snipe it more than once before it doesn’t work again.

    Honestly there isnt really enough people online to troll auction, and if it is happening, im sure a staff member can do something about it.
    Its not that hard to monitor imo.
    If the Administration dont want to bother watching auction or have people report it to them at the time. You could set it to a higher number of antisnipes, 1 just isn't really that realistic or fair.

    Alright, we'll see how this goes.

    - Auto snipe will now activate in the final 5 seconds as opposed to previous 3.
    - Auto snipe will now add 5 seconds as opposed to previous 15.
    - Auto snipe will go on indefinitely.
