    I am tired of minewars lockers wher the worth of the Locker is much less then the starting bid. I bought a Locker fpr 8k starting bid of 1k the locker is worth about 200. This is unfair to any buyer because who ever runs it is automaticaly going to get money off it there has to be some sense that the buyer can get some profit possibly. This is just unfair and I believe an actual rule about the starting bid being lower then the worth should be made.

    Fair Minewars

    Actually, lockers are supposed to be worthwhile. Sorry that you got a bad locker, it dosent happen all the time.

    Plus, this more than likely happened somewhere that's not Minewars. Please don't confuse us with other competitors.

    This.

    Minewars is the original. The rest are fakes. Most of the other ones are cheap knockoffs with horrible lockers.

    Minewars is 100% legitimate. We deliver.

    That is not what you were telling me at there you kept saying that it was our faults that we bid and that we should judge the value. But now that i called the called out Pirates Cove suddenly you are trying to be the good guy you are just to blame for the horrific event s that occured at pirates cove.

    I see these complaints popping up fairly often on the forums. If something seems not worth it, I would suggest not doing it. I haven't read in any of the threads yet where someone was forced to bid on a locker. I know that I have never been forced to participate in one or bid on an unknown prize.

    I too fell victim to the "over hyped" Minewars. Yes the "Original, don't get us confused with our competitors" Minewars. I paid 11k for about 1k-2k (and I'm being extremely generous) worth of items consisting of a huge amount of Endstone and Red wool.

    Believe me, if they weren't making an insane profit, they wouldn't be hosting this event in the first place.

    No one is forcing you to participate in this scam and I must admit, I fell to the hype and the excitement. It's a great concept and would be fun but it's more of a show off event for the rich, while the builders/residents invited stand around watching. They stand around with the false hopes of claims such as "Oh don't worry, people blow big money of the first lockers, wait till the end." Little do they know how lucky they are, not being able to throw their money away.

    1 or 2 random lockers with a couple diamonds and promises of 1-2 hour 200x200 pumpkin farming doesn't make up for the rest of the worthless lockers. I completely agree with Sitomo and Bluejay013.

    Trying to make a point about things being copies, knockoffs, fakes, etc etc, Is not a path that you should try to go down.

    Reason being:
    • A: Everything will be copied. (competitions, buildings, towns, skins, texture packs, the list goes on and on)
      B: Minewars was COPIED from a tv show. (See where I am going with this?)
      C: If things weren't copied, how could things improve?

    OT: Make sure you are are at a known "live auction" that is trusted and like others have said, you were not forced to bid.

    To clearify I dont want the game Minewars to be banned i just want starting bid to be below worth by decent ammount (not just $1) or i want bid to start at zero and bidders judge to however high they want. i also think deminsions for each locker to be given so that bidders can see if stuff is behind a wall of wool or leaves. These are my suggestion to make the game more fair and fun for both the bidder and locker maker or person running the game.

    When I state Minewars in these posts i dont not mean specifically MInewars. I mean all the different variations of this game i have not personally been to the "original Minewars".
