Subject: Max bid

When? I think is very good ideea. Many players don't have time to stay online for bidding.

I think...never...

Good idea.
Whe can auto bid like this
Minimum 1 euro - maximum 800000 euro

And then the man who raised the price to the maximum immediately buys it? I do not agree. If, for example, you are determined, willing and able to pay more but cannot because of the limit? Its wrong.

-1, you can bid directly your offer.

you understand wrong. no problem :-)

I explain, what is mean:

it is not mean, that the person can buy NOW in this moment, if somebody make the max bid for one player.


the question here is:
about AUTOMATIC (max.) BID

the manager who want buy the player, he can put max bid, for how much he want spend money, for automatically bid. For this action, the person not need to be online.

if the player start low price, and the buyer put max. bid, then the price go automatically bid too, if other person bid for the player.
the bid stops automatically, if the max. bid is reached. Then the person must be online, for bid higher.

I hope max bid NOT will come in sokker, because then not can have cheap players, because many users can put max bid, and go offline. The prices will be higher to buy players.

ok, that make sense and I like it. I think that idea was already suggested, but I am not sure. With this kind of bidding, the game will bemore equal to everybody around the world. I mean, chances to buy a player with asian time zone. I think many people form asia dont come to game due to low market in their time zone. Also, players that are sold while special events in RL like for example when there is a Champions league match wont be that much affected.

Anyway, I hope that being able to see now how many people interested in one player starts to equilibrate the market a little bit

Ok, that make sense.

I think that idea was already suggested

Yep, auto bid has been suggested many times :)

See idea topic: https://sokker.org/forum/ID_forum/1261

It has been voted against also every time... Not a good idea.

But voted doesn't mean it is not good.

If most of the votes comes from europe, of course will lose. They will lose the market advantage

Nope... It's easier for you guys! You have far less competition buying players in your time...

But that's not the case. It's just not a good solution...
If they're going to use auto bid you won't be able to buy any player in your time either...

well.... selling players in our time is losing money. Everybody wants to sell in europe time, that is for sure. Now, people from east asia have still more dissadvantage.

I think it is a good solution, but you guys are the experts (serius), hope devs or Raul or who is in charge of these ideas can find a proper solution, so far I like changes, I know nothing is perfect but they have done a great job. This bid system needs to be improved in the future

Dtox after specific hours there are no good players on market and those are the hours where personally i have time for sokker I assume most of people in America ..
And I will tell you lots of users from Europe still bidding for those players...
Also it's not about competition only one bidder is enough to waste your time...
So most likely market prices will go up but on other hand there will be some stability . Most likely wild traders will not have such huge profits

Dtox after specific hours there are no good players on market

True! But do you know the reason for that?

Because most active users (Europe and Africa region) are not online at that time. But that is also because American and Asian region users give us zero reason to be...
It's those regions which should have more players for sale at their time, to spread the economy more.

I must admit, Asian region managers are seriously outnumbered by all other regions, but in America, there still are well over 1000 users!
Still, everybody is selling between 18h and 22h European time.

Because, indeed, the best players are sold within that time! But why? Because ALL best players are sold within that time, I mean... If America has a divine youth player, it's put for sale in European time, because there are much more managers online. But that's because WE KNOW all players are sold within that time!

You must be online for certain deadlines and for European managers, setting the clock alarm at 3 AM for a deadline... it's ridiculous.
That's why American players are best sold within American time and so are Asian players. That is the key for your regions to gain strength within your teams!

Saying 1 manager overbidding your wanted player is enough... Well... pull through!
I know the prices are high, but they are even higher if you place them for sale within our time...
You all think on the short run. If I sell in European time, I will have more profit. True! But you won't be able to build up a team, strong enough to compete with European teams, simply because there are NO good players for sale if you are online outside that time (18h-22h)

Now say...the devs create autobidding with maximum bid. Do you think you have any chance left, as an Asian or American manager, to buy 1 decent player if the entire sokker community can place an autobid on the player. Heaps of European managers have tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions to buy players.
And it doesn't even have to be those regions... even me...I won't be able to buy a decent player anymore... All teams who were/are farming without any sportive ambition are making tons of money. With autobid, you reward those teams.

And THAT is my main reason why I say NO to autobidding!

Auto-bidding would just create traders. People who would benefit the most are the people who area willing to constantly browse the market and try to buy as many players as possible for cheap. That is the point of auto-bidding, you are willing to pay a certain price, but you want to buy for less if possible.

Managers who don't have much time to play, would ironically, hate this feature, because instead of helping them with their disadvantage of rarely being online, they would need to constantly search for players and trade to stay competitive.

I would only support this feature as "once in a while" thing, like once a week.
