I'm not happy because of the dangers it presents to consumers. This is why I am not a fan of the auction house.
Don't think for a second that if Mo went up on the auction block for credits instead that there wouldn't be whales spending literally hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars on in-game currency to pad their bids. But you can also buy credits, either directly or by converting doubloons to do it too. People weren't buying Mo, they were buying doubloons for a chance to bid on Mo.Īnd you might be forgiven for thinking "well that's just with doubloons, Mouse". Sure, they still have the unused 5,000 doubloons (or whatever their bid was) on their account still but Wargaming has already collected the money for that. Because everyone that bought doubloons to make their bid "pays" for Missouri even if they didn't win one. Sure, there might be a Missouri or two that goes for beneath it's "market" value of 19,500 doubloons (with a port slot).
Some people go full hog up to 12,000 or 20,000 doubloons hoping to ensure they win the prize.Īnd who wins doesn't matter to Wargaming. Some do just the 5,000 and we all know they're not going to win. And tons and tons of people make modest bids. Seems like a steal, right? That low of a price gets everyone excited! A Mo for only 5,000 doubloons! But you can only bid if you have that currency already on your account. Let's say Wargaming is going to offer up 1,000 Mighty Mos (complete with the new camo) with a starting bid of "only" 5,000 doubloons. Let's do a hypothetical with less satirical numbers. This would be so profitable for Wargaming. Yes 10.7 auction: Missouri: starting bid 50,000 dubs, 10 up for grabs globally.
