Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
Sykil: I explained how I feel based on my experience. It seems like we have very different opinions about this and that neither will budge, so, I think I will leave it at that. I understand your points, I don't agree, but hey, nothing would be accomplished if everyone always agreed.
There has been a lot of good ideas in this thread and a lot of arguments and concerns back and forth. Where we go from here of course also depends on if someone is willing to work on implementing any of these ideas.

1 line if statement. Done
Is fraction of work of elaborate captcha and timer and new system that who? is going to code. At least for interim. Only 5 min of you life is gone

Sykil, you've made your point. Let's continue to explore the topic.

Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
Great topic with some great ideas.
To start with my view is that there is nothing wrong with scripts buying. I also agree there should be a way to for people with slower connections to have a chance. I am against the captcha as yes, converting ascii lines in a BCD format to a number using javascript is a very simple task.
I really like the D options previous mentioned as it is an easy code and propose a few additions:

- Once the maximum bid is reached, the auction time would be reduced to 1 hour (if currently longer) and bidding can continue.
- Rommik will learn how to appraise imbued items instead of treating a rose tint and security feeling as equals in value.
- Any bids placed over the maximum bid is kept at the bid instead of being reduced to the maximum bid
- The auction house takes a 10% cut of the bid up to the maximum bid and a 50% cut of the platinum over the maximum bid

Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
but the seller didn't even expect plats over their max bid...
or he would have set a higher max bid to start with..
if anything.. they would see it as extra cash
I rather like it because it encourages sellers to try to set prices at realistic levels that they think people will actually pay .. and not try to undercut with a low max bid.. trying to create a bidding war.

If something I wrote sounds confusing ... assume you misunderstood it.
Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
Britanica: looks like great solutions for me, just go for it and code it please ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
I've been thinking of creating a much more robust captcha. This might be the needed excuse for me to do it.

Re: Stopping script-buying on the Auction House
Could run several RNG sequences to determine not only the numbers/letters, but the form as well..
Perhaps: 5233Make it a bit more tedious to code around..
Just a thought
EDIT: 100th Post! Woot!
