When we open an auction, it says at the bottom of the page the time
left for it to expire, but it doesn't move, it says the same time
even if we leave the tab open for minutes.
My suggestion is to make that timer active, so the time will go
down when we are viewing the auction.
This would be useful for some users because sometimes, when I bid
for something I'm outbid at the last second and that is
disappointing, so this would make easier to know when will the
auction end so we can defend our bids.
I hope that it is clear. If not, I can try to explain better.
Same here, and refreshing clears out the number one might've
pre-entered to quickly increase the bid with in case someone jumps
in at the last second. So, full support from me as well.
But remember, the "highest bid" display has to refresh itself, too.
You have my support, though I slightly remember that we had
this idea during the first month of Pokeheroes and I think (my
memory isn't really clear so sorry if I say something wrong) Riako
declined this suggestion for whatever reason. I can't really
remember but I know we had this idea very early.
Yes, the highest bid refreshes every second. Seeing that the server
time also runs, it shouldn't be a problem with potentially
conflicting timers, so if there's a reason, it's probably not
directly of the technical kind. Maybe it's to prevent people from
missing out because they relied on an inaccurate countdown?
Only because it is "hard to make", doesn't mean it's a bad idea. If
the idea is really good, it is worth the work. And we already have
active timers, e.g. during Rumble missions. I don't know if I
already supported, anyway, I do!
