Only items that were NEVER sold by shops should be auctions.

What about the items that will never be sold in shops again? It's basically the same thing in being rare.

Yeah, only old stuff that is no longer in stores, food in varying quantities (maybe not, but it's funny to watch), unreleased items, and soon to be sold items should be auctioned (like how the peacemaker or whatever it's called was).

It is stupid how some admins just auction stuff already in stores, like the shipka, that was just Bull Turd

Are things like the cotton bud, devil trident, etc. gone? I have some auction money and was interested in those...

No they are not gone. To help keep super rare items rare, the auction system limits those items to 2 per week for auction. So, if you happen to miss the auction they are offered in, they cannot be offered for another full 7 days. This prevents saturation of the game with these supers and helps retain their value.

Auctions almost everyday kind of ruins that :P

Snk did a private auction for a BAG Gun, went for 4K. LOL.

Infact 5K here is a picture

I find it funny how they didn't allow private auctions but yet snk does them anyway :P Not fair in my opinion but whatever, I'm not gonna stand in auctions all day.

There should be auction items, and then there should be store items. No intermixing.
If your complaint is the fact then there isn't enough items to auction without lowering the rarity of some auction items, why don't you auction off those items that staff members create and "fairly" give to their friends?

Players seem to want auctions daily and it was never intended to be a daily event. There are plenty of items available, it is just the balance of maintaining their value and rarity. There are no items that are made for staff on birthdays anymore and given to friends, that was discontinued.

I didn't mention anything about birthdays. And it's not "discontinued".
Considering how staff giving friends special rares was not allowed in the first place, and when staff did it, I'm sure they didn't get proper approval, I highly doubt rapping the staff team on the knuckles and giving the a harsh lecture will stop anything.

Besides, staff members cannot drop anything besides EC except for auctions. So that means anyone who is giving friends items, is doing it through /openweapons. If they have access to that ability, they can probably do whatever the hell they want and get away with it.

They happen daily now? No wonder this sort of thing happens.

:p lucky me

Sorry idk anything about that:/ I haven't given anything but my hat and then only for event prizes! All activity is logged as you know so I have to assume if anyone did something not approved it would be addressed.
