I can imagine what will happen when the peens are announced. It’s obvious that people will put thousands of low-price items with infinite supply (read: cheap shop items, ideally marbles and Chinese takeaway) for sale, because low cost benefits both sellers and bidders.

As a true businessman, I don’t want to see the house full of rubbish. And surely Evil Trout doesn’t want this either. He has been experimenting to see which would be the best way to introduce the leaderboards and the peens, but so far there has been no reasonable solution, and probably there will be no leaderboard peens, but only milestone peens.

Your logic is flawed. How many peen whores dedicated enough to work for weeks for a peen do you think this site has? Certainly not enough to buy and sell crap for the leaderboards like you think and almost nobody else would buy this stuff. Remember you have to sell your stuff to and buy from different people. ATM best auctioneer is at 854 and best bidder at 1348. Especially best auctioneer will be very hard to top, it’s not easy to sell you stuff to hundreds of players. You have to sell stuff people actually want and believe me, they don’t want useless crap. Most of my failed auctions were either cheap junk or useless moar files, so I pretty much stopped to offer them.

As for best bidder it is only relevant to buy from a lot of people and you have to buy what they offer, useful or not, if you haven’t bought from them before. The only effect you have on the market is that new users of Kyoubai might sell the only item they offer for ridiculously high prices due to bidding wars but I doubt that they would complain about that.

I’m pretty sure we would see much more rubbish in Kyoubai with milestone peens, because they would motivate much more people who would otherwise (rightfully) think they’d have no chance to top the leaderboards ever to flood the auction house with crap…
