Be honest with yourself (particularly when a smart-bid system is in place) and snipe bidding becomes meaningless.
Then we have two different mindsets, if I think that 6 million is the most I'd ever be willing to pay, I'm going to go the extra mile and pay a few gil extra. I'm willing to pay 6,000,230 gil, but now 6,500,000 gil. A dungeon run gets me what, a few thousand gil?That's the ability to have a sniping war for quite a lengthy amount of time depending on how soon they snipe. All it really results in salty players and however places the last bid by some lucky miracle. Disregarding the sniping argument, there's still the situation where only rich players have access to even small housing. Are you honestly telling me those who play the game all day crafting and making hundreds of millions should be the only ones allowed to own a house? In what way is that a better system than what we have now? It's an alternative, in no way is it better.
