Just got an idea..

 

What if we could select a post

(Example: start rotom 100k by pokenerd1000 ) and make that post as a timer for an auction

 

So pokenerd1000 starts auction of my rotom.. and when I see his post, I can select it and set that post as a timer.. like it could have dropdowns for day hour etc.

 

This way we can avoid confusion of when the auction ends

 

Sorry for not putting across my idea in a better way lol.. it's messy i know

 

I mean, it doesn't sound like an awful idea, it just sounds overly complicated and would provide more confusion and cause more problems than it would actually help out with auctions. It would just be easier to open up a timer app and then just set it on that instead.

I see where you're coming from with this, but then there would just be the issue of having to have the timer always being there and available, which just sounds incredibly tedious to have to always put. 

 

To me it's a -1 just because i personally see it causing more problems than solving any major ones. I also figure eventually we'd have something like this with a countdown clock in an auction house whenever that comes to be
