Name Auctions and Creature Auctions

piucca • 1 August 2014 at 9:48 AM

It is awful that we have to weed through tons of common creatures who are being sold only for their names (Which aren't even worth what people are asking)

People selling names could have their own auctions where people looking for creatures could use their own.

I don't bother looking for a creature to buy because the flood of common creatures with a starting price of 100k.
If we give names and creatures a separate place to be I might be able to find something I want to bid on.

@piucca Yes! I'm getting annoyed at all the names, and some of them aren't even worth that much. I think they should be separate.

Personally, I like the name auctions and really only use the auctions for them. Even if a name isn't like "Love" or "Sun" quality, it's nice to keep around in case a fitting creatures comes along. But I see what you're saying, and I don't think a categorization like that would hurt. It would actually be quite helpful. 😊

Please please please let this come true.
So sick of weeding through names to find any decent creatures

I agree that this might be useful, but auctions aren't quite that simple. What about creatures that are worthwhile because they are both well named and valuable creatures. Also, what about creatures that are neither well-named or valuable, and their owners are just trying to get rid of them without paying 4.5k ec?

@horses4ever9147

People who put their creatures up where it is not worth 1 EC, just have their auctions die at the end of its time.

@spiritkoi
Some names are ones I have never even heard of and I am fairly versed in the English language. lol A few I had to look up, but they were still up for 10k.

@metaphor
It would be easier for both sides 😊
You could find names, I could find creatures.

@piucca
Just because that usually happens doesn't mean it always does, and while an optional subcategorization might help, it might also impede upon people's rights to put whatever creature ufa they want to.

@piucca

I really agree with this. it's gone from flooding the forums with topics, flooding the TC with junk lots with 'Names UFT post with offers' on every description, now to the Auctions.

if people want to trade names at least keep it in the forums. especially when people have about 30+ for sale filling pages upon pages in the Auctions.

hopefully EC actually implements something useful like this for once instead of animating the happiness bar. what the heck does that even achieve anyway?

@piucca
Alright, so I have a way to improve this.
They could have a moderator specifically monitor the creature auctions, sorting them into a category named Name Auctions.
Although, the moderator would have to know if they were name auctions or not, but I think it'd be a bit obvious
