Because most people will just see this as scummy and will not buy it. Yes, a select few people will just spam buy gaijincoin, however using GE would be more effective for gaijin and overall less scummy.

No, they all paid the minimum bid, not their individual bid. It’s not a loss for Gaijin considering it’s all just additional income, but it would’ve been more had they chosen to let everyone pay the individual bids (that were often much higher than the minimum).
Though seeing how negative responses are anyways, it’d be downright suicide for them to not go for the single price system.

i was waiting whole 1 week for my another ban to expire, just to say it:
This is a bad idea, that should never be implemented into the game, just as the market never should made it into the game.

Well now that it has ended hopefully it never comes back. It’s a bad idea in every way except for making Gaijin a lot of money.
You want people to have access to things, stop making everything limited artificially and make things available forever, either via tasks or goals, or just flat rates that are always available as an option and don’t disappear.
Anything else is just short term money making via FOMO.

If only he plays the game he found
not disclosing exact and complete rules for auction BEFORE you actually run the auction is incredibly sleazy. And “experimental” in this case is just awful excuse for optimizing how much money you run away with after you used lack of transparency (and lack of clear auction rules) to drive the bids higher.
And now we clearly need to expect similar (or far worse) shenanigans every time Gaijin decides they want to make a quick buck …

This is not what that meant.
It doesn’t affect who won, just how much the winners paid.
Individual bids:
Top 100 highest bids win. Every winner pays the bid they put, meaning the winner with the highest bid pays the exact price they bid, much more than the 100th winner bid. Essentially the higher up you were as a winner, the more you pay.
Single Price bids:
Top 100 highest bids win. Every winner pays the lowest winning bid, meaning all 100 winners pay the price of the lowest bid. This is so that there’s no punishment for not being winner Nr. 100 specifically.
None of that affects who wins.

You still bid. You are part of the problem with this game

I’m not sure what’s going on these days, but there is a trend for creators, producers and companies to create stuff that alienates the fans and, instead of listening to feedback, they double down on what went wrong and blame anything else they can when things tank. Franchises are dying because of this. Think about what Rocksteady did to the Arkham series with the release of Suicide Squad and, when they tried to fix it, they released a Batman that is only for a VR set that most people don’t even own. What were they thinking?
Gaijin is leaning toward that problem lately. There have been some things that leave me scratching my head and wondering why they are doing what they are doing. Hopefully they will put player satisfaction over money schemes and improve along those lines.
Happy players will spend more money, stick with the game longer and recommend the game more readily. Players that are frustrated with money grabs based on FOMO and exclusive content that only a few can obtain will walk away and tell their friends to find something else to play. Even the most loyal players will leave if they feel like they are being taken advantage of and, over the past few years, I have seen this happen on several occasions.

Is that so? We’ll only know with transparency.

I’m going to do the opposite to you. I may not agree with your opinion, but I respect it.
Thank you for your comment and participation in the discussion.

your blind consoomer bidding is giving the green light to gaijin to implement more scummy anti player practices like the auction.

The final winning bid was 47.55GJD.
If your bid was higher than that, it would have won.
Bidding came in fast in the last moments.
I was outbid at the 29 minute mark also. I was lucky enough to get a higher bid in on time.
Spoiler
It is ridiculous that losing bidder (and everyone else) can’t see the auction results.

I agree with you!
We should see the result at the end. That said, I’m convinced I’ve been beaten fair and square!

Arguably it is removed from the game. It no longer shows in the market.

Rainbow 6 Siege made a market that console accounts can access. The real thing that irks me is no cross-progression and it has been over a year since we’ve had the opportunity to put in a “application” to transfer accounts (and you gotta toss away all of your premium time, coupons, and GE)

The auction button was removed from the market.
Not saying it means anything, but it is something that happened.
