My auction got closed for abuse but really I wasn’t the one who abused it. And I didn’t even get my deposit back (it’s only 2 this time but what will happen in other cases?). Also I wonder if Somebody the highest bidder got his   back too.

I grant you an bumhole x

You were promoting it as something very valuable and encouraged people to bid ridiculous amounts on it. You certainly had a part in it.

Advertisement is part of the game, and maybe I did a really good job. Also I only pointed out the fact that it cannot be bought from any shop until the next Christmas, and as many people mistakenly sold it, it can really be considered rare. FYI, I only set the reserve price of 10.

Also I can see a potential exploit of bidding **** on a high value auction and make the seller lose his deposit.

Not a bad point at all. How could CZ tell the difference between a planned exploit and someone frakking around with legitimate auctions?

And, seriously, this whole ‘lose your deposit’ if your auction is canceled by CZ is BS. Talk about a Flezz sink. Great way for them to take Flezz out of the system: Leave an obvious potential for exploitation open, and then punish people for looking for a way to redline the system…. when in fact, redlining the system is to be expected during the beta-phase of any new game addition.

There’s advertising and then there’s flat out lying. Both this and the easter egg one are playing the same thing. There’s advertising and then there’s scamming. One of these leaves an angry player behind on the finish.

Haha, not as bad as the bid being taken away.
