This is something that has been on my mind for quite some time. Today there was an auction that turned out ugly because user with highest bid did not have the funds in their account.
What I want to say is, why the need to micromanage players this way? Especially when we are allowed 4 accounts per player. I understand if an account bids on an auction without the funds in said account, it can possibly be a fake bid. But at the same time, it's possible that a player has their money spread across all their accounts. Since Mods check for player funds during auctions, I think it's important to take in to account a players play time, # of accounts, past infractions, etc to decide if it's a real or fake bid. Sometimes players have to make deals or move money around to make a deal happen. What I'm saying is, if seller, buyer can come to an agreement to make a trade possible, why do mods have to micromanage in a way where it now becomes inconvenient for all parties?
I think mods should intervene for accounts that are obviously lacking funds and play history. Or intervene after auction ends if highest bidder cannot pay. I've seen too many auctions end badly because said user did not have the funds in said account, but they can clearly pay it.
