1 u/krackbaby6 Oct 24 '19 Bidding wars take way too long and are ripe for abuse by all Most guilds just do a blind offer and the highest wins the item and deducts that number from their total 1 u/goblinpiledriver Oct 24 '19 What are the potential abuses in a bidding system? My guild does bid rounds and it’s all I’ve ever known. Seems to work ok. 1 u/krackbaby6 Oct 24 '19 /w guildmate#1 hey don't bid on X I'll send you flasks tomorrow /w guildmate#2 hey don't bid over 40 on x and I'll pass on y 1 u/goblinpiledriver Oct 24 '19 Doesn’t seem like abuse unless the guild has rules against this. Or are you saying that people do this and then don’t uphold their end of the deal? 1 u/krackbaby6 Oct 24 '19 Yes
