    Sorry, I have to say that a cheat and a dirty trick are one and the same.

    When you send the friend request at the last moment, you are cheating this person out of a legitimate auction that should be fair to everyone.

    You say this is a dirty trick and not cheating? How is this not cheating? If one did this "dirty trick", would they not be keeping the other person from making a legitimate offer by using any means possible, in this case, a friend request? This is plain and simple cheating.

    Next you are going to tell me that a BJ from Monica Lewinsky was not cheating on Hillary Clinton? I am sure there is a dirty trick joke in there somewhere, but we are not talking about a dress, we are talking about an auction.

    I have won MANY an auction like this.
    I use this same tatics.And another good thing is when there 3 or 4 free agents in a row ,usually there will be same managers trying to make some money.If you go to higher rounds for the 1st player and win , they will quit from another ones and you could win with just one token.

    a dictionary definition does not suffice in this case. Because there is no written rule does not mean there is no moral/ethical or unwritten rule.

    You are preventing someone from bidding in an auction. How is that NOT cheating??? Using an exploit in a game is cheating. It doesnt get more obvious.

    I have played many a computer game and have seen many "cheats" for many games. They are not illegal or against the rules, as they dont put in the game rulebook to "not cheat". It is clearly an unwritten and understood rule. BUT it is available for all to do, just put in the code and you are invulnerable or infinity ammo...whatever.

    Just dont try to justify behaviour like this as a dirty trick and not cheating.

    All that to say, it is cheating...but I like that instead of spending 30 tokens in a bidding war with some retard that bid multiple times every round......

    This bug was only on Android devices and has been removed. Using it was considering an exploit.

    If anyone encounters this bug again, I urge them to contact Nordeus support right away.

    it is never good to bid in the last second. the only time you gain an advantage from this is if the other person you are bidding against is leading and thinks you have given up. When you bid in the last sec he has no chance to reply.

    BUT - everyone who bids in the last second despite there already being bids put in that round; they are all just pure stupid. they gain NOTHING by doing that.

    I'm pretty sure some people have last second bid bots, so they dont waste a Token when the other guy gives up but they always bid if the other guy bids
