How do these people with multiple accounts game the system? The links go from unique IP address - having 11 accounts is still going to be 11 accounts on the same IP address.

Still working that out.  Some fascinating stuff coming to light.  Like three auction winners in a row (kinglyly2, komenusai, and Uppernine) all have the exact same avatar.  Now what would you figure the odds of that occurring would be?

More later.

i would like to point out, that it is possible to change your IP address, actualy it can probably be done in about 5 minutes manualy and there are programs out there that can scramble your IP address. and i would bet that people that enter these free type online contests for a living probably have such programs. think about it. if one of those people won one of the computers they could probably sell it for at least the listed 2000 value.
so it is very possible to screw the system. i dont like it. cause i agree. the fact that this was open to people who didnt even buy at least one of the games. made this not for the fans. it was just them using people to do free advertising. thats my opinion

Looks like it's going to be a 9.5k+ auction

It's all shenanigans I say. Everything minus the clicks and Twitter challenges comes up to 5950, so let's say 6,000.
In order to get to 14,000 from there, you'd have to have the 500 max click points everyday, which still only brings it to about 10 or 11,000 depending on when this thing started. Then you had to win six or seven Twitter challenges on top of that. Most people haven't even won ONE, let alone eight.

No point in not trying though.

Not to rain on your conspiracy theory here. I mean, everybody likes blaming others in an attempt to say "it's not my fault".. but, those avatars are stock items  - that means there is a limited phase space of possible combinations and such, so it's not all that shocking that they share the same avatar.

QFT

A real tribute to the fans would have had everyone on equal footing. Those who played and enjoyed their games, expansions, and community should have been the only ones able to participate. Get more tokens by being a game owner, recieve more tokens by unlocking achievements by having PLAYED the games. That's more legit. Someone who has bought, registered and played more Bioware games SHOULD be entitled to more tokens. That's what loyalty is.

It's ludacris to think that people winning all these fan-packs potentially havent even played a single Bioware game, nor care further than howmuch the resale value is.

And no, I dont own every Bioware game out there, but I own enough to know that the last thing this Bazaar is for, is the fans.

Well, I can that you are NOT a professional gambler. 

Yes, it's true that there are only 105 stock avatars, and _thousands_ of forum members.  Odds favor that MANY people share the same avatar.  But for what has occurred there, a Las Vegas would have laid a millions-to-1 odds against it happening.  Figure
1) They each have the same avatar, AND
2) They each have >9k tokens (9562, 9455, and 10158 to be exact), AND
3) They are all active in the auction during the same 45 minute block, AND
4) They each _win_ their auctions, AND
5) They do it one after the other, A, B, C.

You would be more likely to flip a coin a thousand times and get heads each time than you would be to get this outcome.  The outcome is theoretically possible, but "highly unlikely".

Unless.....

Smoke.  Fire.  Usually.
