There should have been a cap on total points possible. I'm surprised Bioware didn't think of this/implement this. Consider there are about 400 prizes total, and compare that to the total amount of people on here. Most of us don't stand a chance.


There's over 2000 items of the 400 prizes available. Some in extremely limited quantity. like the PCs.


Thank you for correcting me.  I was in error.  However, my point still stands.  Considering how many people adore Bioware and have signed up (some who may not even OWN a Bioware game but was given the link to sign up and do the quizzes, etc) there is still almost no chance.  Without a cap on tokens, it's unlikely that any normal person will get anything.

However, I may be proven wrong and I hope I am.

I don't **** myself out (too much), but I'm slightly annoyed I'm just over 7k tokens.

jeez my chances for anything good at all are gone, congrats to everyone with 10k+ points for t shirts.

love to be a part of a community for 2+ years and watch tourists who use wikipedia to answer challenges get more points than me :(

I'll probably sit out these first few auctions. Like I said earlier, if you think about it, you're going to have the highest number of people bidding on these first few hours of auctions, since it just started.

I'm betting the number of tokens per item goes down over time, except for the really big items. Those will still go for a lot.


Let's hope so, the sooner these people blow every last token they have on the early stuff, the BETTER.


Yeah, it's looking like people with 10k or over are probably just going to blow through the auction for the frist few hours and tear it up.  On off-hours, and after a couple days have gone by, the bidding will even out.

Dont worry so much, if people are blowing 10k on the first TWO auctions, they can't in the next 410


Question is, how many people have 10,000+ tokens? Many, I say.

Thats just one more out of the running for the computers then really

People don't know how to do the auction thing right

You're suppose to wait 'til the end to toss all you points in [/quote]

There are perhaps 100,000 people taking part in this, and only 418 are walking away with prizes.

People will bid everything so that they can take what they can get.

Yep, with so many people having so many tokens, the odds that any of us in the 7-8000 range are pretty slim.

Well this is ridiculous. I don't mean to be negative guys, but really. I may win, like, a coffee mug, at this rate.

less than 10k might be a possible winning amount, but it seems like someone just throwing that down like a gauntlet quickly removes much of the competition from contention

wth!?!?! I just clicked on the auction and AGAIN another auction is at 10k? Will I EVER have a chance?

Can anyone tell me how they *legitimately* got over 10k tokens?


If they got 50 friends on facebook or twitter or anywhere that clicked their link everyday in the past week, that's like 3500 points together. Or if they're on some other social site like Ustream or Justin.tv where they stream their playtime, they can get their viewers to click their link.

Are the auctions all going to packs, or will there be single items too? I feel like single items are the only way I stand a chance with points in the 4 digits.

Not just that, I remember one guy bragging that he got 20k tokens without winning any challenges.

These folks have no concept of a competitive auction, they're just bidding all their tokens right off the bat. xD



(User who started current auction at 10 tokens.)

I imagine that bids will be lower closer to the end... I imagine most people are operating under the strategy of 'all in', and that as time passes, there will be more options for people with fewer tokens.

But if there's anyone who wouldn't mind clicking: social.bioware.com/brc/401362

The computer bidders will be over 20k(and this is just a conservative estimate).
I gaurantee it.
