You think the entire Euro-base should have horrible options because you don’t want to scroll?

I too would love to see some of those in between times made available. Even if it only added 18 hour and 36 hours it would give some decent flexibility.

Read what I said. I suggested 12 hour increments. There’s an 5-10 hour time difference between North America & Europe. Some people play in the morning, others play in the afternoon, and some play in the evening. If you think ‘prime time’ for the site is, say, 7-9 p.m. U.S. Pacific, and you live in Amsterdam, then simply list your auctions for 12, 36 or 60 Hours at 4-6 P.M. your time. The Auction will end during that ‘prime’ time over here.

If you think prime time is, say, 7 – 9 p.m. Eastern Pacific, then you’d list your auction between 1 – 3 p.m. over there, using the 12 hour increment.

Funny how I suggested two additional in-between times (36 & 60), and then you called my idea horrible, and then you proposed two slightly different in between times as ‘decent flexibility’?

What?

Seriously, the ‘Euro-Base’ is not being unfairly disadvantaged here. If the claim is that there is lower traffic overall during the Eurpean peak times, then that implies two things:

1) The majority of the playerbase is not European, and while their needs & requests are important, they are in the minority and will probably have to be a bit more patient. The larger percentage of a customer base gets their issues addressed first. That’s basic economics.

2) If traffic is so light during these times, then this means that the site probably runs more smoothly for them, and therefore, this is a definite advantage, especially if a European player is trying to be conservative with their time.

As far as my having to scroll through a bunch of different times, look at the compromise I proposed; being able to set your preferred default time. I prefer a 72 hour period for my auctions. If I was able to lock that as a default, then the additional times wouldn’t really bother me at all.

If you want your 4 hour increments, then what’s wrong with my default time lock-option?
