And what about contests like these that don’t benefit the contest holder at all, but still kinda technically abuse the auction house.

NOt really. Abuseing is tricking noobs to buying something not worth much for a lot, or useing it to get flezz for bp. Which the problem is you are avoiding being marked as a cheater.

I was okay with it at first (hell, I even signed up on that thread), but now I’m not so sure. It isn’t trading real money for Flezz, at least, but it IS transferring Flezz between players. I don’t think it’s any worse than a legit auction, really, but I could see how if it becomes widespread there could be some game balance issues.

Short answer: I’m okay with it, unless/until it becomes a problem. ET’s word goes, though.

Except I lost 599,999 flezz for “abusing” your contest.

Well my auction was removed, but it just said “Abuse.” I don’t know if that’s because of how high the price was for such a cheap item, or if it was for the contest itself. I would have liked to know which one it was, so I know not to do it again.

Also, it’s funny how they approved my ad that linked to the auction yet they banned the auction itself. I really don’t care about it anymore, but really? Why would you do that, Crotch Zombie? Can I at least have my 1BP back for the ad?
