Yuck, monopolies.

[Doodzey]

A drawing probably would have been a better format, but I guess people would have found a way to abuse that too.

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.

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+?

Well damn..

[XX55XX]

It would have been so much better if all of this was done by chance.

Listening, BioWare?

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

Twitter fanatics and spam fiends?

[onipar]

Ha, it's pretty funny. Everyone blew their load during the first couple minutes, and now the auction just sits at 10,800. Come on people, haven't you ever used ebay? :-P

who bid that much on ME comic books

[seraphssavior]

We need a big prize to come up, to see how the bidding's going to go. If it's around 10k still for something big, we may be all right for the smaller stuff.

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.

This is the cheating that BioWare said would be investigated upon winning. Don't worry about that so much.

Don't worry. At least most of us didn't have to stoop to the level of spending 24 hours in front of a computer spamming the heck out of the Internet just to win prize packs that were worth only $100 at most.

Yeah I want to see some ****** for tat bidding damnit, what's with this showing your hand right at the beginning?
Come on I'm just an observer here, make it exciting!

[Chris Priestly]

I'll be interested to see how high the bidding gets on the NEXT item. *hint hint*

[LyudmilaKatzen]

They only take the last entry you make for each challenge, so you can't abuse Twitter too much. I won a challenge last night with a single entry.

[darkshadow136]

Yep anyone that can bid 10,000 tokens on a shirt pack and book and game pack are cheating and should be disqualified. People setting up multiple accounts are going to ruin this contest.

[dropdown360]

Well... I will reserve some judgment for now. However, I feel by the end of this most people are going to say this was a great idea implemented very sloppily. Referral links = BS. Keep it simple, competitive, and fair.

THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE.

And originally, this is what I thought was happening.  No RESETS at the end of the day, just 500 tokens from the link and then no more.  THEN it would be EASY to weed out anyone to exploited anything at all.

But no, it resets and if I've done my math right, anyone with the proper amount of coordination could have gotten 4k extra tokens from the referrals alone.

Hell, I even won two challenges!  People who even WIN EXTRA TOKENS still don't have a chance!

[SomebodyNowhere]

The winning amounts will probably be more reasonable later in the week. I think people are just getting all frantic right now over the possibility of winning.

Do they really have the resources to investigate? But, such a conspiracy is possible...
