The KPD confiscated auction house

[odd chasm]

How it would work:
1: Banned accounts would have there inventory put up for auction
2: players would be able to bid on the items there
3: highest bidder wins the item!
4: KR would not be auctioned
5: unauctiond items would be destroyed
6: only one banned account would be posted weekly as to not have a flood of potentially expensive items.

Benefits of the auction:
1: rare items slowly cycle back into the market
2: removes kr from players in turn deflates the market
3: cleans up the backend database from banned players just sitting there
4: a chance to get expensive items for cheap!

Issues:
increased attempts in false banning
Solution:
have a 1 year grace period for the banned person to appeal after the one year items are auctioned. This would also be a deterrent to false banning due to the time it would take to actually get the item then bid on it.

Issue:
pain in the ass to code
Solution:
There's no Solution just a cool idea
Issue:
black market traders buying all the items
Solution:
Improving detection to stop black market traders all together (mentioned in a older post in the krunker-news channel)

Thanks for reading! Excited for season 8!

I believe it's been suggested before, but I'd personally prefer to see banned items given back to the community via events

but staying on the topic of an auction, we also have to remember a large issue with the market right now which is kr being botted

using an auction system, botted kr will definitely be at play to get these items and further cycle them through bm

might also cause a bit of a shock to items rarely traded, such as if every trade banned rgb was to suddenly be back in rotation

[odd chasm]

@main knoll true about the botted kr. Though the kr would just be gone once the item was sold it doesn't go to anyone. They can bott all they want but the 20k spent will just be gone not to anyone.

Regarding the every banned rgb back for grabs. I don't think it would be to bad especially if the auction rotated banned accounts. It definitely would not be a all at once thing that would be chaos.

For example a banned accounts items would be up for bidding one week then a different accounts items the next

[main knoll]

top point: sure the kr gets voided, but kr is also infinite. What I'm moreso saying is that those with botted kr can now obtain rare items which can further fuel bm activities (or futher fuel the demand for bmed kr since legal kr methods are horrible and won't compete)

bottom point: sure, but at that point how long will these go on for? All times of the day until it cycles through all accounts? There's some items that don't really have to get reintroduced as well, like low tier contras (or these can be given out via other means). Connecting with my point above, having auctions for rare items where you'll 100% be getting certain items for cheaper, will only drive demand for kr way up which will cause more people to move towards bmed kr.

• distributing via a controlled method that can't be tampered with (such as comp rewards, in-game ltms, or community events) would be better

[odd chasm]

Botted kr will always be a issue no matter what there no way around it other than staying ontop of banning them. In all honesty though if say a account with botted kr buys a rgb smg. Ok they have it now what they sell it again? The reason for black market kr is because the market is so inflated. The only way we currency is being removed is through spins, and general taxes.

Time fraime could be a weekly auction. Could test the waters with different time fraims to see what works.

Controlled methods also don't pull from banned accounts they are added as new items I'm pretty sure.

[main knoll]

"Ok they have it now what they sell it again?"

• Yes, bm isn't only for kr. My point is that actual items with finite unit counts are better than kr, a currency that will continuously be generated as you've mentioned. Assuming the previous point, it can be reasonably assumed the auctions will be ruled by botted kr as botted kr can always outbid legit players (including overpaying on items)

"Controlled methods also don't pull from banned accounts they are added as new items I'm pretty sure."

• Old giveaways were usually funded by banned accounts, see a suggestion named: "Noon style-gws", or something of the sort
• Lets say the old events were spawning in new items though... just don't spawn in new items and use the banned items as the prize pool for future events

Top:
OK so they have the rare item. Now what? they trade or sell it off for more kr that they then spend on the auction removing that kr aswell. Perpetual deflation until the average user can compete.

Bottom:
Cool! That's new information to me didn't know they used to do that. However there isn't to much of that anymore other than the current player funded giveaway in the discord.

[main knoll]

"they trade or sell it off for more kr that they then spend on the auction removing that kr aswell."

• Bm is about real money, there is no kr being spent here aside from the initial purchase. If the bmer gets caught, sure the item gets cycled back, but why do this in the first place if it can be distributed to a rightful owner initially (not to mention it's still messing with legit players)

"However there isn't to much of that anymore other than the current player funded giveaway in the discord."

• I agree

Good idea, but it will ruin the actual economie

[odd chasm]

What "rightful owner" are we giving back to? These accounts already have been banned for a year (or whatever time fraime is set) with no appeal or anyone say hey I'm the owner of those items.

On a side note you asked above what would happen with lower tear items such as commons. All the items would be listed though if a item isn't bid on it would just be destroyed.

[main knoll]

"rightful owner" as in a legit player who would've won the auction, not where the item originated from

[odd chasm]

Hopefully there "detection methods" are improved in s8 (reference of a past post in the krunker-news channel) for detecting black market trading. If they get that down ide say this is a solid idea if they don't want to do banned account giveaways anymore.
