    Suggestion: Get rid of the plugin or whatever the automated thing is and allow people to manually auction things in auction chat again.

    Reason:
    Firstly, its quite spammy and annoying and the turn off messages don't help

    More importantly, its not fun. When I was a builder I remember mining like 30 iron ingots and trying to auction them off in auction chat for a profit. Holding an auction was fun, you could change the messages a little bit, try to bleed out a few more seconds. Typing /auction (or whatever the command is just goes to show how useless it is) is most definitely not fun. Its actually a drag and I'd rather use trade chat.


    LFDR:
    Games should be fun...
    Manual Auction = Fun
    Automatic Actions = Not Fun



    Edit: Just realized I totally fkd up the title of this thread.

    I really disliked the 'manual' auction system. You can delay auctions at will (therefore annoying everyone who wants to auction something, too), you need to teleport people around to actually exchange items... what exactly are the benefits?

    Why not?

    The benefits are that it's actually entertaining to auction something. Plus you can action like 4 random things at once.

    I agree that old auction is more fun but this one eliminates scamming which is more important in this case.

    Is it possible to separate the auction plugin and chat channel so you can be in one but not the other? Hide auction with /auc messages or something and allow manual auctions in the channel (for owned tools/properties etc)?

    There was less accountability with the manual auction.
    Fun for you was a headache/annoyance for others.
