Stop outbid trolling!

Hi, i just like to ask for people to grow up and stop outbid trolling on cars they dont even want!

Kinda sad, that other people have one purpose in life and thats to ruin other players gameplay.

You could even record a video showing it’s the same guys outbidding cars over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again…

Microsoft needs to ban people.

That’s how auctions work though
And time to end resets when someone else puts a bid in so anyone else has time to put another bid in
People want the cars so they keep bidding when someone else bids

Sounds like they want the cars more than you!

MS won’t ban people for winning an auction any more than they’ll ban people who win MP races because it spoils the fun for the losers.

If people are resorting to placing a bid on a car, it’s because they don’t want to pay the buyout price outright. If they’re doing so, it’s probably for two reasons:

  1. They don’t think the car is worth the buyout price (often the case with HE editions).
  2. They don’t have the money to bid all the way to the buyout price, so they keep bidding in hopes that the other party will give up.

If you want to bid on a car, you must come prepared. It all comes down to how badly people want the car as well as its perceived market value. You need a bankroll of 50% of the buyout price of the car at the very least. When bidding on the more expensive cars (for example, those whose price was artificially inflated by legends abusing the system), I wouldn’t even bother placing bids unless I have at least 20,000,000 CR in my account, because those cars are big game and the people who take part in these auctions usually have the cash to buy the cars outright anyway, it’s just that they hope to find a bargain (as much of a bargain as an 11,000,000 CR car can be, of course). Even then, people might come in and pay the 20 million because they have enough cash that the price almost doesn’t matter anymore.

Placing bids is a bit like gambling in that there’s a strong psychological factor involved, especially during the last minutes, when you’ve got the winning bid and hope no one else covers it. It’s exciting and frustrating at the same time.
