Possible Solutions:

1. Allow direct trading of .moar files between alts, outside of the realm of the Auction House

2. Disable alts from bidding on their ‘own’ auctions.

3. Simply let it happen, since anyone that built up a high enough main character is simply taking a shortcut if they ‘power-level’ their own alt. Also, nothing would stop two friends from trading back and forth with their own alts to cirgreat timesvent any of the above solutions, so there’s really no point in preventing a single player from doing it.

Only possible solution? Completely anonymous auctions. No customization allowed of the title & text of the item for sale. No seller name, no bidder name, no immediate update of bids, no immediate posting of auctions. Have all new auctions post simultaneous (once per hour), and have all bids post the same way. Make it so that all bids have to be a rounded off predetermined number to avoid people tracking their bids (i.e., 105,000 flezz in stead of 104,756 or 105,834 flezz)

And even that’s going to be a pain in the bum to manager, I’m sure, and someone would probably still find a way to cheat the system.

Maximum value could still be abused – if anyone else snipes a bid, they’d still be paying over the odds for the moar part. If direct transfer of flezz between alts is blocked, it could still be done through middlemen. I don’t see a way to stop it.

Is there a leaderboard that isn’t senseless? End them all.

And devalue the peens for all of them too.

I have an idea. Maybe we can exclude the   from the auction house in the leaderboard. Then we only have the power leveling problem to solve.

nah, that sounds way too complex

just make sure that auctions are 100% anonymous/identical and that they don’t appear right away, but all at rollover. also add some additional mechanismus to curb abuse, such as the proposed restriction that alts can’t bid on each others’ items and maybe also some kind of limit values for items so that you can’t sell Chinese food junk for 100,000. There will be still abuse, but at least it shouldn’t **** up the game too much.

Or you can buy quest items called auction tokens. Every 1 token can be worth say 1,000? Then the auctions would carry out from there.

Another idea based on “auction tokens”.

Add a second curency that appears under Flezz. 1 flezz = 1 “token”.

Also, what would the tokens do Falcon?

Ahh, 1 auction a day up to 3 a day. Sounds like a good/bad idea.

I like the idea of tokens. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to limit the number of auctions. Maybe we can have tokens convertible to Flezz with an NPC similar to haxlrose.

Leaderboards only matter if you care about them. If it breaks the flezz leaderboard it’s not like many people were that invested in its prestige in the first place.
