Okay, I’ve been having this problem in the auction house for the past day. Every single time I’m bidding, in the last two second of the auction, somebody bids one PD Higher. More known called as “Auction-Sniping”.
I’m getting pissed off at this, so I’m starting to think I should bid on anything anymore. Sorry if I sound like a crybaby, but this has been going on for the past 3-4 days.
Basically, I was wondering if anybody tries to Auction-Snipe, maybe you can add an extra minute to the auction when it hits the two-minute mark? Thanks

haha yeah

Yeah no lol

Auction sniping happens everywhere. If you don't want to get sniped, pay attention to the auction. This wouldn't really help anybody lmao. Auction sniping is going to happen. Somebody is always going to want that pokemon more than you do.

No support at all.
If you want a pokemon that badly, you'd snipe it yourself, wouldn't you?
I don't bid '1 pd higher' when i really want a pokemon, i bid around 5k-50k pd more than the current bid to secure my win, so if you really want a pokemon, you'd make sure you win it.

So why should there be an extra minute onto the time?
The auction time is set at the point it is for a reason, and an extra minute would annoy the snipers since y'know, they can't snipe and each time someone tries the auction would be dragged on even longer, and people would complain for a redo.

Yeah same I always bid a lot higher just in case

The only person this would benefit is the people that set up the auction bc they get more money, and even then it would SUCK if you set up an auction for quick pd to pay for/buy something?? and the auction keeps going and you take forever to get paid

As a sniper myself, I don't support :p

And as Eraserhead said, sniping benefits the auction owner. And if you really want the Pokemon, bid higher or stay alert on the auction page.

People should really stop complaining about auction "snipers" , it happens. That's the way an Auction works. Any other way around you'd lose the spirit of the whole thing.

Im sorry, but no support

No support.

Just as the others said, you should stop being slow. If you really want the Pokemon then pay attention.

I want to fall in love. No, I'd rather make money.
