I think ThistleProse could have worded their responses a lot better, but I can understand the frustration considering 20-60g increments doesn't strike me as unreasonable and jejune didn't give a minimum increase or an example of what they'd consider reasonable. And a higher MI doesn't necessarily mean the bids will come less frequently, which is jejune's justification for the change.
"Calling jejune a 'sour-sud' is crazy work over an auction rule adjustment"
Eh, that's not how I read that part of her comment: "Other than that, um, your post kinda came across to me like you were... angry/irritated/etc at us for not bidding more? Which, I mean, you've explained your pov, so its cool, but my knee-jerk response was relief that I wasn't the highest bidder 'cause I didn't wanna fund a sour-sud x.x <3 "
When the auction is over 3000 gems, I can kind of get being annoyed at 20 gem raises. But that's why you spell that rule out in the beginning. Or just say "from here on out, I am only taking bid increments of this." You don't refuse bids for a rule that didn't exist.
It's like a rl auction where the bud is at $32 and the bidder just raised by 20 cents.
idk this seems like an “everybody sucks here” situation. I think ThistleProse was being inflammatory by saying “my knee-jerk response was relief that I wasn't the highest bidder 'cause I didn't wanna fund a sour-sud x.x <3” but I also think jejune was getting unreasonably ticked off for getting pings. They subscribed to the thread so it’s weird to complain that the thread subscription feature is working as intended. The bidders didn’t know jejune was subscribed because nothing was said about it anywhere.
I agree. But at the same time I'd also be irrationally annoyed by my auction thread of a 3.5kg dragon devolving into a 20-30g per post forum game. Unless they've hit the absolute upper limit of what the dragon is worth.
isn't thistleprose the one who stole crowvidae's entire skin shop layout and then was like oh shit sorry i got it off toyhouse and when pressed they were like oh ok i just straight up stole it <3 and im not changing it <3
