these are RESELLERS were talking about.... theyd simply abuse the system and put 100 items of 9 ped wool on there.

True enough. Hadn't considered that really... How about making it percentage based? I.e. 5% of the TT value of whatever is being offered? Or even better (for MA and the loot pool) a percentage of the SELLING PRICE?

There ought to be a better balance between selling your crap by flooding the streets or tossing something with high value into the auction because it only costs 1 PED to do so, if you ask me.

As for removing the TT. I can definitely see benefits, but also disadvantages to that. Shall we start a new thread about the pros/cons and the ideas we have about it?

bah, then what about everyone who tries to sell 200 peds of wool, or some such, on auction? its no so few and far between to call RARE, whats rare is when people bid on someting like that.
or about all those people who put mods and adjs and imps on auction, and THEY dont sell?
whether or not they NEED the money, its still kinda screwy that theyd be charged so much.

your second idea is sllightly better (selling price %) but the same problems exist, only dimninished by the fact they actually SOLD it.

honestly, i like auction the way it is, except a few minor bugs (uncolored clothes mainly, but that will be a harder one to fix)

we all know the grass isnt ALWAYS greener on the other side... why not just let things go the way they are, on such things?
there are MANY things that need improving FIRST.



and dammit DD, PM me, or i swear ill torch the thread with reasons why TT should be removed

That would be a brilliant idea. Maybe do a quick search first...

Better yet..how about mindforce chip that whisks them off to a PvP zone? Hmmm..maybe not. I could see this being abused unless there were a reputation system involved.

Game Masters could be in order and would greatly help in this and RT killing type situations. However, I think MA has been hesitant to add this due to the real money factor and the potential for upset players and abuse of power.

Hmmm... manned GameMasters or automated?

I guess manned could get a quick bundle from another player to take someone aside and PK them for a few hours
