Has anyone ever discussed a match bid button then the seller chooses who gets the item? Could help auctioneers that don't want their gear going to an "enemy" or GvG target. I feel we should debate on the matter. I say maybe if done right.

It sounds like this would cause the buyer to have to wait for the seller to release the item. Not good if you need something now, and the seller isn't available to play his favourites game.
 
It also sound like this would be used to prevent "uncool" players from being able to buy items, as the seller would then have a choice as to whether or not to accept the purchase.
 
 
When you put something up in the Auction House, you have to accept the fact that someone you may not like may buy it. If you don't want to take that chance, put an ad up in the Shoutbox to sell the item, and then complete the transaction via Secure Trade.

Sorry, I just feel that something like that would be a waste of time and effort from the cows and would only be used by a VERY small minority of players.

 

Seems to me like it's just a desire to be petty and vindictive ? - as cyrus says, if you put something in the AH, ya have to accept that anyone can buy it ..


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

No, this just sounds unethical.

 

Could help auctioneers that don't want their gear going to an "enemy" or GvG target.

And this just takes away the whole challenge of GvGing!

Just let it go.  You don't need to be worrying about who bought your stuff.  You sold it - that's all that matters.

Hehehe, it really is a crap idea.  An "auction" by definition does not permit the targeting of buyers.  Thanks for coming for an interview though.  We'll call you if there's an opening.

Swearing, even starred out, is not acceptable on the forums. Cheers!

If you want to know who bids what on your stuff, then hold yourself a PRIVATE auction!  And as to your profanity and general disparagement of myself, consider yourself lucky that you are out of my PvP range. That's how I usually handle such matters...  B)
