Remove the auctions from the server

[kind fjord]

only other way i would think is set a hard limit for money

[spiral drift]

That wouldn't work no matter how I look at it

[kind fjord]

true unless someone makes an auction that is more controlled

[spiral drift]

If we set one limit for all cars then that limit will always be reached, and then what

[kind fjord]

true

[spiral drift]

Online auctions are a dumb concept even irl

No clue why we have those here too

[rancid oak]

its in different channel because auctions filled up car trading way too much

MP economy is all fked up anyways due to people duping stuff, and all the people using cheated money and perfectly willing to pay 6 million for a normal junkyard lad (they just screw up someones save like that)

[spiral drift]

The economy issue is specifically in the auctions, the rest of the threads are perfectly fine for the most part. I just don't want the auctions to inflate the rest of the market.

People duping stuff is no big deal, most of the time you don't even know they did. Cheated money isn't an issue either, it's the people that use it. I use cheated money on my main save but I still calculate my finances and not pay 6M for something just because I can. I use my money the same way I would've if I had a limited amount. If people managed their finances realistically, the biggest problem within the auctions would be solved.

before auctions had their own channel trading was almost always f*cked up because some random guy with cheated money came, and offered the guy stupid amount of money

now that auctions have their own channel they dont screw up trading as much

[spiral drift]

This makes a good point, honestly. And I trust you since you've been here longer than me. I'd like to hear from others as well, so I'll keep this post up for now

I don't think taking away auctions is a good idea. Or even necessary. Wanna sell at a fixed price? Sell at a fixed price. No one forces people to use auctions.

[spiral drift]

Of course you can just ignore that thread entirely. The problem arises when the inflation in the auctions affects the whole market. That's what I'm afraid of.
There's also the issue of alot of posts in #1099607834427146292 turning into an auction, which I'm not sure if it'll get better or worse by removing the auctions.

[rigid mist]

Yeah thats true. There is a massive inflation going on and it is kinda of a problem

[rancid oak]

removing auctions will make it worse, just as it was before

some guy posted some straight junkyard car and people offered millions, it was stupid

[spiral drift]

As I've said, I know there's an issue, I'm just not sure if doing this will make things better or worse. That's why I want everyone's input

[rigid mist]

Keep the auctions, make car sales work by only allowing the listed price (or lower)

[spiral drift]

I agree

[compact gate]

So people lose money on vehicles they built? I think that would be quite dumb

[rigid mist]

No I meant they list the price but can only take offers under their listed price. Not in-game listed price

[compact gate]

Ohhhh ok lol
