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.
