When you place bids they are additive.

If you placed a bid of 500mil, then a competitor places a bid of 510mil, if you post 520mil down it will raise your total for that team to 1020million.

Working as intended?


working as intended.

Because you could just add in a bid for 20 million, and take the entire system bid up to 520.

Remember, these aren't individual person bids, they're system level. It's a pot you throw isk into.

I have made that mistake 3 times before I figured it out. Sadly I still lost the bids. Any chance of adding a list of teams you're bidding on?

So - there must be a POS in that system with billions upon billions of materials in it :) Hell, if they can throw a billion on a team who knows how big ransom they are willing to pay Twisted

Ofc it's not my can of worms. I'm just stating the obvious first thought popping into mind of anyone taking note of something like that happening.


It's almost as if this - like all the new gameplay mechanics in Crius - is some kind of intentional gameplay hook.

For the layposter, this means if a system populations wants a team bad enough 50 people can put in 20 million, there by paying 1bil...

Any chance that we get sniping rules on team biddings? It seems like everyone is bidding at the very last sec.

Saw this coming. As prices are fast approaching their real values, the concept of picking up bargains is fast evaporating. For the time being you're going to need to make a real valuation of a team, wait until microseconds before the auction ends, and see if you won. I just lost one that was well above my valuation (thankfully not in my region), and won two that were peanuts. A sniper rule however won't protect you from a fatter wallet.
