Best Of

Are you thick man? I will say this as plainly as I can. Children are a choice. Autism is not. Autism causes things to be exponentially more expensive. Texture issues so they only eat certain foods. Therapies so they will not fall behind their classmates. Doctor visits. Jesus Christ your awareness of the world is just non existant, isn't it? But that is besides the point. Again, nobody is saying doing away with auctions. I will say it again because you seem to read what you want and ignore the rest.Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Did you get it that time? We are asking for an auction like event for fun artifacts that we can participate in and have a chance of winning, even if it is slim, because slim is better than none. 

I never asked for a 'newbie only' auction. The examples Konnorn and I gave were raffles or a lottery like promotion. 

Edit: You seem to have misunderstood a lot of what was said, so let me try again. 

No, you are not punished for losing an auction. However, when in the first 10 minutes of the auction we are at 2000 credit bids, 300 IC, the punishment is you do not even get to participate. It is a promotion that is pretty much exclusive to whales  

And I did say likely. I understand some players will defend it regardless. 

Edit 2: I never intended to make this about my children. It is what it is and I accept it. The point I was trying to make is that it is not always somebody's choice for not being able to put in the money to participate. But honestly, I have no idea why I am trying to reason with you. You are one of if not the most toxic player in the game. This is a waste of my time. Have a good day

Ehtias sees into my soul.

Put the dice special arti into the auction and watch mazz go broke please.

Do you think it's fair to devalue my effort because other people didn't make this a priority to themselves? Not trying to attack you here, honest. Just saying, try to consider all angles.

Do -you- think it's fair to devalue those who -cannot- spend hours a day Questing, Farming, Merchantry, Fishing, Ylem Mists, Bashing? Not everyone Can or Want to spend that amount of time in the game daily to earn gold to -perhaps- win an auction item. Some people have lives. Some people have illnesses that make it so they cannot sit at the computer lengthy hours daily. Some people play the game for fun, but still want a chance to do something with a bit more flair. Those people are players just as much as those who Do those things, and those who simply throw in hundreds of dollars worth of credits without blinking. I am simply trying to find an option that will not be completely overrun by Whales.

First off, I said devalue my effort, not devalue me as a person, nor am I interested in devaluing anyone else as a person. However, you seem to be completely cool here with devaluing other people just because they don't have the same real life situation as you or other people you're championing here. Super judgmental and to be honest, pretty gross. In my own personal case, I've never not been working the entire time I've had Aeryx, except for last month between moving across country. I hang out with my friends pretty often, play Magic, watch UFC, etc, so yes, I made a ton of gold by playing the game, and also still had a real life. And guess what? I play the game for different reasons as you, and I actually found it fun to gain all that gold, as much as everyone wants to troll about 'brr big number go up' etc etc, yes, I enjoy that style of gameplay, and instead of afk botting bashing like a bunch of other people do, I decided to segment off my free time and do all the things I mentioned to gain gold on a regular schedule, so that I could say I did what I did.

If I'm being honest, framing work you put in game to save gold and credits as being "devalued" because you didn't get an auction is a bit silly. It's fungible in-game currency, you've lost nothing. None of us are promised auctions or the like, so I don't think it's fair to claim that someone wanting a system that looks different and might be more available to more people is "devaluing" something you did. You still have the gold and credits.

Despite you obviously attempting to go around and troll me repeatedly, I'm gonna respond to this and say that first off, I haven't saved up credits for this auction, if you'd actually read anything I write or say you'd know I am talking about gold. Secondly, yes, someone coming on the forums and being like 'I cant participate in this system, so we should just make a different one instead' attempts to devalue people's efforts for saving up any of the currencies, gold included, that get spent in the Auction. The point of the auction is is to incentivize WHOEVER IS WILLING TO SPEND THE MOST to drain that currency out of the system. It is not stated anywhere to be some mandatory thing everyone has to be able to participate in.

I sure do still have the gold that I earned, and the credits I've saved up, just like everyone else. I did put exceedingly more effort into gaining the gold than the average player, and for a specific goal in the Auction, that we know is always going to come back at some point or another, and thus, can spend time on, which is more valuable than anything. But please, click disagree with me some more just because and posting big annoying pictures, while claiming to be a big champion of treating each other better in the community.

@tetchta yeah that's cute. I assumed that the smart play for IRE would be to not allow free credits into the auctions kind of like how they tried to do with the houses and stone.
