8900 tokens over 9 days, correct?
Divide by 9 days, add the 50 10-point clicks back in, you get a little less than 550 clicks per day. This is possible, fairly.

Yes, IF you win 4 challenges. And that 550 clicks per day. Lure 550 people in clicking EVERY DAY isn't cheating?
I won't buy it. May be you have 550 friends? And remember every name? Yeah, sure. 

Referral URLs suxx. 

What, moving the goalposts on me? You're the one who postulated 4 challenge wins. And anyway, the only requirement for a click to be awarded tokens is that it must come from an IP that has not clicked since midnight previous. Point out one bit in the official competition rules that says that "luring" people to click the link is illegal.

[WolfMark1374]

just to throw this out there, it is very possible to change your IP address, i mean the scammers and spammers in Nigeria do it all the time. and if people in 3rd world countries can do that. you think people here cant. my problem is that the url takes away from this being an auction done for the fans. it turned this whole thing into who has more connections on social sites. to me points should of been given out threw trivia contests and what not and they should of never done the url thing.

1) May be you could learn to read carefully? I'm wrote: "MAYBE SOMEBODY". I know just one person, who won 4 challenges.
2) You avoid my question. How many challenges you won?

The real crime here is that some clever and industrious individual took away from you stuff

I know that kind of people - they locksmith professionals. People call them bulglars and safecrackers. They are use their cleverness and industrial expierence to get what they want. Until they get caught.

I would like to see items you can just buy right out with the tokens.

SIGNED: It feels like bioware used us as advertising people then just made fake people win the auction in the first place.

Pissing off the majority of the fanbase to reward the few "industrious" volunteer marketeers isn't a great way to celebrate the fans of Bioware. Something we should have seen in hindsight. Why shouldn't BioWare be happy that we want their store items even more, now that we've salivated over them only to find ourselves with too little tokens?  How many of us are going to buy the little trinkets, the t-shirts, the artbooks, that we didn't even know existed until last week?  We are the disgruntled masses...BioWare has over 25,000 followers on Twitter, and yet at most there are only 412 prizes. Hope you enjoyed playing, but I can't say that I feel any more appreciative of BioWare than I did before the "contest".

well i havnt won any challenges and ive managed a little over 2000 url clicks, and even with that ive only managedc a little over 8k total, with all that i currently stand no chance at all to win anything if it be one item or a pack of items, every bid ive seen has hit over 9k within one second of the auction starting regardless of the item. i dont know how folks made so many tokens so im not going to start saying its cuz they cheated or bought clicks or whatnot. but its seems more than less of the general population doesnt stand a chance.

[BobaJames]

this is total BS!!!!!

[Gadaire17]

agreed

http://social.bioware.com/brc/1195606



those of us who can't get alot of tokens are basically screwed out of the competition

[Bounty Hunter Wrex]

That means you're all loosers, thanks to Bioware with their free-to-cheat referral URLs and Questionnaire. 
For example BellosTheMighty don't buy any game, but have 11k+ tokens. You're bought ME2 and DAO. You don't have that much. Why? Questionnaire makes you even and ref URLs finish you off. 

Is that Bioware wants to say? "We don't care how our fans get our games"?
Is that would be good to download Bioware games from torrents? Looks like they don't care about us, so we don't care about them. Fair enough for me. But Bioware won't like it, I'm sure of it. 

[thepiebaker]

this is completely unfair, i dont even have 5,000 tokens because i didnt cheat with the links

[HellaHelgi]

I would've enjoyed a raffle system, where more points gives you a better chance, giving some of the workers and casualites a chance.

Tyler signs, these packages are nuts, id like a single item with a set number of them, that out of the 10 ppl trying to bid, 5 or 6 can walk away with a prize

[krystalevenstar]

I'm pretty upset that it hasn't been single item auctions from the get-go. That's how they were advertised.

I agree, I have 2 (one not registered) of the 3 possible games but i took my time and did the surveys. I won 2 challanges ..... I thought i could walk away with a mug or stickers, but i dont have the tokens others got.....I personally thought it was going to be a individual auction. The only time im going to have a chance is near the end of the week maybe...

Feed the needy haha Click here http://social.bioware.com/brc/1044694  Goal to win a sticker or maybe a lithio of Garrus

[Eleni]

I don't have high hopes for it working, but I'll sign.



It all comes down to the clicks, or, in other words, a popularity contest (assuming it's being done fairly). The person with the best networking wins the prize. I tried really hard on the challenges (only to learn some of my responses weren't ever read), so I'm pretty disheartened that nothing's gone for under 9000.

[clint3164]

This "contest" sucks. I really imagined it working differently in my mind. I think a lottery/raffle system where you buy tickets with your points would be the only semi-fair way to do this. Hope SWTOR doesn't let me down as much as this did. Happy b-day Bioware!

[RaVEn5753]

I'd like to see some individual items, so I'll sign, however, as BellosTheMighty said, doing this would mean that BioWare would have to move some items around to where we'd end up with some larger bundles.

Marafice Eye wrote...

They list 412 individual prizes, to be auctioned every 15min for 4 days. With these bundles, they won't last 4 days, They probably won't last 2 days, what is Bioware thinking?

Most of the "individual" prizes are the bundles, with the exception of some items such as the computers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 103 hours from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Multiply that by 4 (the amount of auctions held each hour), and you'll get 412. It works out.

I'm against it if just because I'm actually close to a decent amount of tokens for what I'm after. Splitting items up wont help things look at how a collection of all the books is going for only a little bit more than a couple of the books from that collection.
