@ Karyuu How can it be expanded on if you are unwilling to change it? Despite what you 'believe', auctioning is a skill. It is closely entwined with public speaking, charisma, confidence, intelligence, and will to start off with.
And again you are wrong. The -best- time to talk about anything is before the time comes that you actually have to create it. Why talk about rules on the way auction is used now, when it will be 'expanded upon' in the future, and those rules will no longer apply? The answer is, that is how you make things better.
Where in my words did your -ever- read "Change this now, or we are all doomed."? I am not a stupid, 'silly' person who thinks everything can be changed with the wave of a magic coding wand. Everything I write is carefully thought out, researched as to how other players would like it, then asked of Devs if it could be done, then adapted to fit multiple ways to play. That involves ways others enjoy, but I do not.
I give you a real life example of what would happen with the current system. A well known Auctioneer (-not- a merchant, as that is a different job) is set up in his usual space. As he starts to auction his commissions, some fools with a single sword walk up and start trying to hock them to the crowd. Now what do you think would happen? The people there for the real auction would become annoyed. The Auctioneer would become angry, and ask them to leave. If they did not, the well known auctioneer would go to the lawmakers, who are likely his friends, and request a law requiring you to have a license to have an auction space. the lawmakers would not wish to see a good businessman driven off due to interruptions to his business, so they would make such a law. End of story. That is how things work.
