Title: House Auctions - the thing that may solve the problem?
Post by: Strato on February 12, 2012, 18:48
Hi, as we all see house camping only causes more wars that may be bad for some of us.. the current house system makes people hate each other. Atm the house system with 3+ slots goes just "stay whole 3 fucking days and get the house" instead of "be loyal, if u deserve for the house you can get it". Then the house auction system came and it was just freaking amazing.. no camping, just forum auction for interested ppl.. then after $nake's manipulation it has been removed and the shitty camper system is back and making people leave / fight with each other.. why not bring the auctions back for 3+ slot houses?

Yes, but for 2 slots as well.
1 slots are so in abundance nowadays, even with loads of people joining CVT. 2 slots and up... not so. I can't afford a 2 slot yet but when I can this system would be great.

It was tried once and after two fouled up auctions was stopped.

Auction 1. House given to wrong person, resulting in that person having everything sold and ending up in debt.  Actual winner was given another house that was also up for auction.

Auction 2. Winning bid was denied because of Mick's definition of GMT.  Mick declared that his current time was GMT when it was actually BST (British Summer Time / GMT +1)

Now if you want 2-3-4 slots you need to waste 10 hours of your life on waiting for house.

Failed? Just because someone didn't know how to make good auction.If mick says auction is over in 10 hours,then he need to come and lock it.Fuck it.

This may be weird, but I can do the auctions. Although I don't think that's gonna work because I'm a regular player, so I suggest implement it again but give the responsibility of the auctions to 1 person you trust (an admin, or whatever). I really think the auction system was better than what we have now.

Well at the moment its obvioust that the house system sucks ass.... i'm  honest and 90% ppl of the server will agree, is it worth to waste 3-4 days camping on a 1 house with 10 other nerds? No it isn't, that's the thing that causes wars between friends, as i had experienced it.. the house actions didnt fail, ethan You already have a 3/4/5 slot so stop moaning about others.. It must be added otherwise ppl will complain again and again and again and what's the point?

how about you stop making posts about house system this and new house this, your posts are useless because  the four that I have found in the past by you have not had anything done, meaning it was pointless to post in the forst place

Quote....ethan You already have a 3/4/5 slot so stop moaning about others
um excuse me but I have a 3 slot house, thats the highest one I have ever had so get your facts straight

I hope auctions dont come back because it would cause more harm than good because peolpe would bicker if they didnt get it because they put a bid in 5 mins to go on their end and the auction had already closed.. that ones of the main problems with auctions, the timezone difference and there would need to be someone monitoring them so that when its closed in the timezone designated, its closed all around the world.

House auctions would be a really good idea.

Post by: ThomasKirkman on February 13, 2012, 22:01
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the "Auction System" eliminate newer players and leave it to those with more money than brains?  2 Slot house.  Now 2.5M.  This is affordable to those newer players.  But in auction, as with all auctions, you will get those players who just "bid up" the price.

As it is, camping is annoying, but in the end, it is a crap shoot as to who gets the house.  So that is more in the line of fair.

Yup i agree. Newer players would only have a chance when they have 5m+ funds, wich they obviously dont have when they start.
Auction for houses maybe works for the 3 + slots houses but even then the chance of failures would still exist and then they would complain again. And we would be back at the start.

Rethinking... my new conclusion is no, it won't solve the problem. Houses will get crazy expensive so newbies (and myself, unashamedly) would be unable to afford anything more than a 2 slot.
I was thinking that maybe all houses would be inactive until an admin came online and did a command to make them all active, but then people would beg and cry, so no.
My best solution is that every house is a 1 slot and people can buy and sell slots as they choose. The price would increase for each slot you buy. This way people can continue to show off, having loads of cash and cars and still have a house without the risk of losing your shit trying to sell and buy; and have a house that didn't burn a massive hole in your e-wallet.

I never said it would solve the problem.
Also where did I mention the 10 hours bit? There's millions of 1 slots going around compared to the 2+.

Why not set house sales up so that when a person puts his/her house up for sale, it does not show it is for sale for a random time between 24 and 72 hours.  That way if Joe decided to sell his house, there would be less of a chance of selling to a buddy due to the random time.  Then it would show for sale to all at the same time.  He might get it, he might not.

Well but 90% of house campers are idiots that stay in the house gate so the house won't be avaible for the next few days... that's really bad. I'm waiting too.. yeah already 5 months and what should i say ? I have a wife so i can't sit 24/7 like those and i can't be only for ever to get that house so why not do something for ppl that have no chance to win with campers.
