Hi, you should add the possibility to add bids from players in game, cause I receive a lot of offers in game, but the player don't want to login in the site to place bids, so I think it's better if you add the possibility for the owner of the auction to add a bid (obviously with screenshot, like the Olds auctions) for players that raise in game

+1 and -1.

To revert back to allowing the owner to post the bid on a player's behalf...I get it. Sure, that's fine, and I can understand why some would prefer it that way.

In theory, having both options may be the best of both worlds. But there's a reason we moved away from the old system. Screenshots can be disputed, taken out of context/faked, arguing over who bid what. The current system removes that grey area. The player logs in, places the bid themselves, and it's there for everyone to see. It's cleaner, more transparent and far easier to verify. Sometimes what seems more convenient isn't necessarily what's better for the system overall.

Having the option to place a bid in-game and have it automatically reflected on the forum would be nice. The problem is that it would probably require additional coding to make sure the bid is accepted in-game and then correctly translated and displayed on the forum. That's more work to add to an already existing system, maybe it's something that happens later.

For now though, I don't really see the current system as much of an inconvenience. Logging into the forum and placing a bid takes a matter of seconds. I'd understand the frustration if it were a lengthy/complicated process, but it really isn't. It just requires some willingness from the player to log in and post the bid themselves.

Having both options might be nice. At the same time, I don't think the new setup is asking too much of anyone either. For the time being, I think it works well enough.

-1 what if the owner put the bid too late and the auction ends before the owner uploads that bid.

+1 if buyer can bid from ingame

-1 if using old methods using ss and stuff, also for now, its not that hard to just login on forum
