Are you absolutely certain that 2 wasn't a 5? I know in Australia sometimes the numbers appear upside-down.

Lol I can see properly it's at 3 days right now it was at 2 before not even 12 hours ago how does it jump from 2 to 3? Explain that.

I'll gladly be a test bidder for you. Thanks for actually taking the time and replying to this thread.

The auction system is excellent. Your one bad experience, which you brought on yourself, doesn't alter the hundreds of good deals that people get on a daily basis. I most certainly CAN call you a kid, cuz you're whining like a little kid, regardless of your physical age, it's irrelevant. You're complaining about something you clearly know very little about, because if you knew something about it, you wouldn't be in this mess.

Coming from a developer of a few games before in my past...

I see two days

If I had an isk for every time someone claimed to be a developer, and tried to use that to justify their criticisms of something they know virtually nothing about, I'd own Delve.

For one thing, we don't have ANY confirmation that the amount of time left on this auction is changing except for YOUR claim that it is. Get some evidence, and I'll believe that it's happening, because right now, after testing the auction myself, I have no reason to believe that it's happening at all and if it is, it's most likely a bug that requires a petition, not a whiny forum post accusing someone you know nothing about of being heinous and 'pathetic'.

Ditto.

For one look at his name it's quite obvious that he scams I didn't notice his name till after I bid on the auction and someone brought it up to my attention. I'll post another screen shot tomorrow i guess when the time either goes up or stays the same.

You can't edit the auction, you can only delete it - assuming no bid has been placed.

There is however a display bug that I've seen plenty of times where it says for example there's less than an hour left, and then suddenly change to less than a day, or saying there's less than a day left then suddenly saying 1 day.

Once you place a bid the ISK is withdrawn and will automatically give you the contract if you win, however you will still need to click the "Get Items" once the auction is over, and even then sometimes it can take time to get the option once it finished (caching issues I believe).

Anyone managing to actually change the time left is exploiting somehow then and then I suggest if you have proof to petition it, because what you describe is not how auctions have ever worked in-game.

I very much appreciate that you took the time to actually let me be aware of what can happen instead of people acting like they know what happens. Thanks man so I have a question if the auction ended already and its a display bug maybe I can receive my items already?

Note that I've only seen it happening at the "less than an hour left" and "less than a day left", I never seen it happen going from 1->2, 2->3 etc and usually takes an hour or two to sort itself (my guess is that it has to do with "rounding" of timestamps).

If the auction is over you will (yet again when cache updates) get the "Get Items" button on the contract. Even this can take time since I guess rounding and cache. Re-logging may work at times. I've had times where my "attention log" says the auction is over, but when I open the contract I can still place a bid even if the contract also states I won. So the cache isn't instant but if you won, you will get the items as soon as you get the option to click the "Get Items".

It will also clearly state "You won this auction" when it's over, compared to the "You are the highest bidder" when it is still running.

Of course I am I could understand If i was a veteran player but being a new player and being scammed for everything I got it's quite wrong. I worked hard for that facking cash. I stayed up days at a time earning every little bit.

OP, I hope the following is taken with the intent it is written, as advice to help you.

If you win that auction, congrats. Just remember though that the moment you assemble the orca and make it active, it's already dead. It's just still in one piece for the time being.

Every ship you fly in this game has a chance of blowing up every time you undock and given this thread in particular, there are likely to be people that have now watchlisted you, just so they can kill that Orca because you've already demonstrated an ability to shed a tear.

My best advice would be don't fly it until you have the ISK to replace it without worrying about it, but given your above statement, that is not where your at, at the moment; and you wouldn't be bidding if you didn't want to fly it.

Your ship will die. When it does, don't rage in local, evemail, private chat or the forum. Stay silent and move on, or offer a 'gf' in local. Go get another one, or build back up for a while and just move on and have fun. It's not a real loss when it happens.

Other then that, all the best.

Very well said and I'm glad you took the time to write that. If they black list me that's fine I got people down in null sec that will be happy to help me out whenever I need them :)

Or maybe you just need to learn how the game works
