I know the auctions have been heading this way for a few seasons, but the start of this one seems worse again. While the auctions seem quieter than ever (on my server at least), with quite a lot of players going for less than 10 tokens, what's on offer is pretty rubbish. There are very few 18 year olds, or even 19 or 20 year olds now, with most players on offer in their mid-20's. Based on the values, the quality on offer also seems to be lower than normal; in a couple of days of popping in to the auctions every now and then I've only seen one player who was even close to the max value for my level. It's getting harder and harder to get decent players who train quickly.
