I have been receiving numerous complaints about the lack of auctions. There is truth to that claim. It seems the only person who does auctions now is snk, and I understand his time zone isn't convenient for most of you. (He did a bunch last night, about 10 hours ago)

So, I'll see if I can change that. I'm proposing perhaps a few auctions every 4th hour or 6th hour throughout the day, every other day? What are your thoughts on that? Or perhaps less frequent auctions, but a set schedule on certain days and time of the week where we host numerous items?

(Remember, these are just ideas and nothing is official on here. I'm just trying to get feedback from the community, this is better than getting spammed via PMs )  

Just have auctions about as half as much as events. Every staff member should be able to host one as they can events. However I think there needs to be some more auction items made before this happens.  

Naw, if you have it often, then the items auctioned aren't going to be rare anymore.  

Not long ago i posted a essay on graalians explains how problem can be solved, I proposed the news building admins should write the time and date of web the next auction will be held, so everyone can adjust the times of there time zone area... If that makes sense  

Valid points. I think we will try for a scheduled day and time on a weekly basis.  

Try to show the date and time at the news building, so everyone has access to it and it's more convenient because it's near start

Problem is that admins don't host events anymore either.

I like the every 4-6 hour thing. I missed all of snks auctions yesterday because I was asleep :/  

In my opinion auctions should stay rare. Maybe you do 1 auction day per month where you auction something every hour or so.  

Yes please,the only reason I dont spend money in the game is because there's never auctions where im at..I stayed up 2 am and there was like 10 auctions.So basically spending money on itunes and going to a gun shop to buy your dream gun makes sense. But you buy iTunes and it's just sitting there because of no auction. So I like this idea.. Just make lots of auction rares though.  

I stay up fairly late almost every day just so I won't miss auctions i and I'm pretty sure more of the iera community would prefer a couple of auctions every other day so people have chances at cool items

This.
There needs to be a max amount of an auction item so they don't become common like that.  

I agree to the fact there should be more auctions hosted, but the items will be less rare indeed. but what if there is a bunch of new items/weapons especially for auctions. That way they wont become really common. Also those weapons need a max amount of being auctioned like lavalclaw said. I could make some auction only weapons. im sure there are more people that would love to do that.  

Or maybe do a maximum amount of an item. For example, there will be auctioning umbrellas until there are 50 umbrellas in game and then they change items. I also think they should do few events for items like that...  

the problems aren't in the auctions , but the people winning them, they are always the same...
Angel, and many others set a timer in each auction, so why not just make them as :host item 1 random5-10?
thanks
