We all get outbid in AH items and normally people out bid other few seconds b4 it expires. When our item gets bid we get a notification saying our items has been bid and we try to rush to "my bid" (It usually take 3 seconds to load 1 page so : Action Tab (Instant) --> Auction House (3 sec.) --> My Bid (6 sec.) --> typing new price to outbid someone (9 sec.)

so it minimally takes us 9-10 seconds (if ur fast clicker) to do the whole process to out bid someone and reclaim that item before it expires.

SO my suggestion is why we add button in our notification "My Bid" so instead of wasting precious time going through the whole process we click on that button and goto straight to "My Bid" page.

So any1 likes this idea ? plzz comment on this idea.

No that won't do, cause we have a limit of golds we have so having it auto will be a disaster as we save certain amount of money for different thing and not wasting alot of money on 1 item. BUT by taking us to "My Bid" page we manually add the price we want as if a person put 120k on an item i would say to myself "Oh well i'll just have to wait for another cheap one" . So auto bidding is out of the question.

i don't see why auto bidding shouldn't work, you would just have to make it such that the player didn't have access to their excess gold/fsp, and create a minimum % raise for gold bidding using the auto function to prevent two autobids clashing. this would prevent all those horrible people who snipper bid (yes we all do it), which would be a good thing

even better
instead of a log message, an alert on the side, or in the middle of the page

You sure do live up to your name. :lol: :wink:




Hmm...an outbid notification...hmm...well I don't exactly mind, since half the time, i'm not actually on to see if I have been outbidded, or I'm not really that bothered....

....Though if some people don't want to watch the AH, for 30 minutes then this is fine. No seriously I'm fine with it. :P

Um guys, this thread about 1 click to "my bid" , having there been a time when some1 out bid an item that you want it badly and have to rush to AH to get it back ? Well this idea well take us straight to our bid items fast and out bid the players.
