ok i have been thinking of this for awhile,and decided that this is an amazing idea that just have to come true!!!an auction house is suppose to be where you bid and the highest bidder gets the item.but right now,especially potions,people are holding on to their bids to the last 3 seconds,then bid,so people who are willing to spend more cant get the items.is not even a contest of who can outbid who,it becomes a contest of whose computer is the faster or who can type in numbers the fastest!!

so my idea is,each time somebody adds a bid,the auction time gets extended to like 3 or 5 minutes!!!so if you get a message saying that you are outbidded,you always have the choice to go back and outbid that person!!!that way is truely a matter of who have the most fsp/gold and not who is the stealthest!!!wouldnt this be a great idea?!??!you dont have to refresh your potion screen 50 times just to make sure people dont snipe your potions!!!

wouldnt you get mad if you bid on an item and have confident in it that youll get it but somebody snipes it AT THE LAST SECOND and you dont even have the time to outbid him?

Happens that way in IRL auctions as well, phone bid at the last minute..on timed auctions anyway.

auction house should be like real auctions :) with someone talking nonsense in the background as you say numbers as fast as you can to beat everyone else, before the guy says, "SOLD!" lol :lol:

this idea has come up many times before and I'm on both sides of the fence, which rather hurts at the moment ...

I've done my fair share of sniping, the problem with it is that if 3 people are sniping the same item it still comes down to who is willing to bid the most. You have to look at the current amount, guess what others might bid and bid just high enough to win without wasting a bunch of gold. If you snipe for too low then you get the "You must bid higher than current bidder" message, or the person who snipes after you outbids you.

I wouldn't mind if it added a minute to an auction that was done by a player, but the potions are ALWAYS there. Sure you might not get that exact potion you wanted at that exact moment but another one will come along. If you really want the potion then spread your chances and bid on half a dozen of the same potion as you find it. As for player created auctions, for armor or weapons and stuff, that I can see gaining a minute, or even 30 seconds, when a bid is made at under 30 seconds.

Meh, I like the AH the way it is. Sure it stinks when someone outbids you at the last second, but if you really want that item then you can bid as high as you are willing to pay. If you are attempting to get something at the absolute cheapest price, then yeah you will have more people attempting to outbid you while the price is lower.
