Heya,
After suggesting to support to add a really clear warning (manually enter quantity and bid along with a red layer over screen) whenever a bid on auction is mad that deviates more than three standard deviations from market history, I was informed that something like it is already in place but people just click past it.
However, I didn't get a number for it, neither am I keen to try nor feel like bothering support anymore, so I wonder if anyone sits on a screenshot of this prompt and/or know the limits for it to occur?
Would be interesting to see, as it would trash my arguments from yesterday's topic if it is clear enough.
Please note: Lets just discuss the system mentioned.
Edit: Please read the OP before replying. I dropped yesterday's debacle behind me already, as I was proven wrong. However, all this lead to support notifying me that there actually is a safe guard in place; that will help people to not make mistakes very much like the one I proposed. This was news to me, and probably most of you unless you at some point actually placed such a bid by mistake. Now I am curious to know how it looks.
I can admit when I've been proven wrong, which I did last time yesterday. What good would this thread make? It would prove me even more wrong as MA obviously put extra safe guards in which I did not know about. This means, that in order to make such a mistake, you need to be even more careless than I thought.
And I repeat; this is not a suggestion. Mods moved thread by mistake, probably because they never heard of the system either.
I'll share ulfs comment about the existing system later.
