The first problem is too many people taking advantage of the system for a massive amount of tokens. So the value of the token has dropped too low. The second problem is that all of the auctions are for multiple items (5 shirts, all posters, etc). If it was for 1 t-shirt, I would think the amount would drop to the point where the users with a more reasonable balance could at least attempt to win something.
I think you have a point there...I ALMOST have enough points to bid on something, and when I bid, someones already outbid me so I've never even been able to put in a bid.Vardel wrote...

I thought that at one point too, but I don't think it is the case anymore. People are just throwing tokens at every auction. Tokens have no value to anybody so they have no reason to not use them all up. There is no risk in making a bid, you lose, you get your tokens back. As a result, the people with a lot of tokens are bidding their entire stock of tokens right in the beginning. Resulting in an auction that is very little fun for most of the people involved. This could have been fixed though.
1. Tokens should be non refundable. Once you bid them, they are gone even if you lose the auction. This would force people to bid low and there would be more competitive bidding. Resulting in more fun for most people, even if they don't win they will at least get a chance to participate.
2. Allow a maximum of 100 tokens to be bid at a time. This would create a much more auction like enviroment and level the playing field a little.

i agree there should of been a cap on how much you could raise the bid. would of at least let people particapate more in the event instead the only way that us people with low tokens is really participating is the fact we are all on the forums unhappy and complaining over this whole thing.

Yeah the whole link clicking thing as an option is pretty crappy. At least the challenges the good ideas may end up in a future game in the appropriate series, even if they're free to them.
Even better is the d-bag that put up one of those link sites and everyone who adds their link basically link-clicks his link. Sickening.

Yeah, the referral links are the main problem. Instead of referrel links, BioWare should have posted a daily quiz. Each quiz would have questions based on their games. And each quiz would be timed, to prevent people from just looking up the information. You would get rewarded for each correct answer with so many tokens. If you don't know an answer, skip it and move on to something you do know.
This would have rewarded BioWare fans who know the lore from their games instead of people who are popular on social websites.
. Here's hoping next time around they space out the prizes and short change the increments.
