[OFFICIAL] Further notes on the - New Auction system

[Bunzo]

Yes and of that 40-50 players you maybe had 2 or 3 decent ones
I much prefer the 4minute set up (not 3 btw )

2-3 DECENT? In my times then I woke up in the morning I could find 20-30 even 40 players with 5* stars 18-19-20 almost all the players, some even had abilities...

In the last few months there were less & less young Nordgen players on the TM and I was checking every morning after the server maintenance
You were getting 20-30 every day?
There was plenty threads opened on the decreasing number of Nordgen players.

aiyo..so tired of this new trick...

Initially hated the new system but I now love it! It was a struggle to find good players in the old system (level 35+) and having to wait 2-3 hours did not suit me at all. Yes one has to spend a lot more tokens for players but if you're patient you can find a complete player (>95%, 3 positions, SA) for 15-20 tokens.

The new auction system is worse and worse each day that passes by.

A 98% player was sold for 47 tokens yesterday.

I bought a 97% player, and then I needed money.

Guess what? The fake auction system "sell to auction" didn't buy it for 2 days in a row, still not sold.

How much realistic is that?

those are some crazy bids that happened at the old days too.
Some stubborn (or stupid) players.

I have two players in nego list and I get none or 0 tokens for them.
18 & 19 y.o.
Also I can see my list has plenty of 18-10 y.o. players.
Why managers don't buy them for 18-25 tokens ?
Because they can find cheaper players in the market

Saw an excellent example of auction trolling today - something inevitable under the current system. A 20 y.o. DC at 98% appears on the market. An asshole jumps in at 3:55, all alone, and bids repeatedly raising the price to 14T at once. And disappears; i.e., never bothers to bid again once the other managers arrive half a minute or so later. For them the "starting" price is already 15T. The winner gets the player for 29T.
Well played, Nordeus.

Because he gets all his tokens back....
That´s what the people wanted.... & Nordeus listened
They were always complaining "I no win auction but loss tokens" kind of back fired on them now.

Perhaps he bid up to the maximum he could afford in the hopes of dissuading others from bidding on the player and thus he would get him, but that seems a very extreme method of bidding.

But, like the other example of possible 'trolling the auction' that I saw, it gets Nordus extra tokens, so they'll do nothing about it...
