This is one of the few times I'm GLAD for having a desk job, sitting in front of the computer. I get to... uh... watch the auctions quickly get out of my "price" range? Hrm. I may have to rethink that.

Naw, I kind of love auctions. I'd LOVE to win something, obviously, but I still get a kick of just seeing where things'll go.

lol @ the bloody inflatable sword. It's cooler than I thought it would be too.



I hope everything isn't going to be in packs.

Is cheating an issue? Because I don't think its possible to 10000 tokens unless you're going into game stop with a pen and paper copying down UPCs

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.


thanks for another dagger in my hopes, elf lady. >.>

Well, given how this Auction is going thus far, and the number of Tokens being thrown in, I think it's safe to say that this whole thing will be dominated by an Elite few who managed to aquire rather large Sums of Tokens. Even though BioWare went through and skimmed some tokens from those who used the Exploit, it still seems as though a few have managed to keep thier respective numbers high, and it's these people that seem to now and will continue to essentially Own the Auction. God knows I will still try, and thankfully I don't have my eye set on anything major, however, for those who only managed to aquire basic sums of tokens I don't think this auction is really for those who fall into that catagory. Oh well, the Idea behind the Auction was and is Fun at the least.

So you can't get tokens anymore after the beginning of the auctions?


It looks like you can't. You are stuck with whatever you have.

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


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

I want to see if those guys got theirs legit though

So... Anyone wanna form a lynch mob for anyone with over 10k tokens? *Has pitchfork in one hand, torch in the other ready to be lit*


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


Hence why I set the bar so LOW.

Yes, even you people who played 'somewhat' legitimately.  We're coming for you.

Anyone wanna help make one of those signature banners?  Like, 'I was part of the community...  until I didn't w**** myself out like everyone else.'

I'd bet close to 100k.
This is why URL linking for points was wrong wrong wrong, there are far too many easy ways to abuse it.

Remember. There is a total of 2189 items from the 412 prizes. And this auction is apparently going to run 24/7 with a new item every 15 minutes. So, best to just set your cell to alarm every 15 minutes to check on the site. It's what I'm doing.

Well, they are still going to be doing challenges on Twitter, if you're doing that.

I am in school, but I have class at 1:30PM and won't be home until 4:00PM minimum. Then, I need to finish a law paper at home (where I can keep track of the auctions then, too!).

Incorrect.  Biofeed will still be putting out questions on Twitter to win points.  So it is possible.  But what does 500 extra mean when people already have 20k+?

I'm trying to think logically how these people have that many tokens. Probably farmed friends on the facebook link. :(

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.)


with the announcement that you can only win 2 auctions, why not go all-in for the thing you want?

I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that these 10k people are not representative of the community! Like the posters above me I'm scared.

If the poor sub 10k people don't wind up with anything lets pact a make to only play Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the rest of our lives. That'll show them!

 Please someone from Bioware answer this question.

Is it against the rules if i win an auction and then get it sent to my friend in the US who then in turn sends it to me as a gift.

If that is against the rules I wont bother bidding but i need a definitive answer so i dont do something stupid and get him in trouble.

A group of people working together can setup multiple accounts and rack up a number of the prizes. A group that had enough planning can take most of the prizes amongst themselves. The flaw in the contest was not having a max on the referral links. If I wanted to be a jerk about it, i could have created accounts for all my friends and relatives and then just have the prizes shipped there. Once one account hit a huge amount of tokens, start advertising the other accounts. A bogus link or 100 around the web and your on to something. The referrals were the one part of the contest that really just needed a max limit.
