Black Auction House - bids extend timer

[Edelweiss323]

Hi !

 

The Black Market Auction House should have a preventing system against sniping.

 

An item can have the following timer: Long ( 2 hours to 12 hours), Medium ( 30 minutes to 2 hours), Short (less than 30 minutes).

 

I'm not sure about the extending time for each one of those 3, but when someone bids, the timer should be extended.

 

For example, if the item has Short duration and should be completed in less than 1 min (internal timer) and someone comes and bids, the timer will be extended by 5 min. This system prevents last moment snipings and gives the other bidders a chance to respond.

Priority: 1/10

 

Proof: This might sound funny, but if you check the Black Auction House atm on 100x, all the items are close to completion or have close timers . All go in Long/Medium/Short timer in the same time. This proofs that the extending timer on bidding doesnt work, because some items in time would've been bidded a lot and should've got time extension .
