Is it just me, or the whole team auction system is completely screwed?

-No possibility to view which teams I am auctioning (some sort of overview) - FAIL

-The bids on teams from other people does not seem to be visible in real time (autorefresh) - FAIL

-When I am placing a bid on team and I dont have fully updated current bid, the system somehow generates a bid higher than current bid (which I dont see) and place it without further confirmation that the bid is ok (example: I see a bid of 120 M, I want to place 122M, bud someone places a bid of 300M I cant see without refreshing. When I hit enter with my 122M, the system just takes 300M from my wallet without any confirmation - that just happened to me) - FAIL

-I won the auction and I received the concord mail. Suprisingly I am here mentioned as only bidder, even though I saw at least 2 other system bids on that team previously - WTF FAIL

-It also happened to me that the system placed some kind of random bid despite what I entered, withdrawm wrong amount from my wallet and after I lost auction it refunded me also a bad amount COMPLETE FAIL (and submitted this as a bug already)

CCP, please do something with this crap. I wanted to give up industry after Crius, but gave it a shot, just to find out the team auctioning system doesnt have ANY sence at all.

TL;DR

It should be clearly visible at all times whats the current bid on a team, whats the minimum bid increment and it should request confirmation if it wants to take more ISK from my wallet than I want to. (Basically how contract system works - if you want to place a bid lower than current one is, it informs you and offers a higher bid confirmation). There should be definitelly a tab of My team auctions.

All additional work invested in industry rework when we have more urgent issues is bad move.

WTF?!Shocked

Now that CCP have thrown out this unfinished mess and is bothering us with it big time, they are obliged to finish it properly. This is not something like the CQ or some random bad balance on a ship; this is the very fundamental on which EVE runs. Without Industry, you can shot your structures and other people in Rookie ships. And now you come along and say that CCP should not finish the fundamental of EVE? Is Sansha Kuvakei doing something to your upper storey?

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

...thats is correct, all the industry changes in Crius werent nessesary at all, that my opinion as well. Anyway, they are already there, so they should be at least user friendly.

I see a load of crappy ideas in this section all the time and almost noone supports improvements to team auctioning system? Thats just said Sad Everyone trying to use it must be experiencing same issues as me !

Im sorry, did you do industry before? The new system is a MASSIVE improvement over the old system.

The only complaint I have is that they should have implemented a 100 level system instead of a 10 level system, this would have solved basically all of the complaints about the blueprint conversion.

Not quite the drama you suggest but the new UI does seem to be lacking polish and a little bit of joined up thinking. Its more a shame because pretty much all the actual changes have been excellent.

Hopefully after a few months of collating all these little niggles someone will be given time to work on them. Iteration - its the future, I've tasted it Smile
