How an Auction System could work.

[KurohNeko]

Greetings,
As always, people are not satisfied with the current system, i still think it is a vast improvement to the previous plackard clicking system where a lot of people simply used a bot for it.
But let me explain my 'very well' thought out auction system i came up within the last few minutes.

Because it is now possible to get your Gil back at the housing placard, this could easily work.

So here is the concept:
This system will be an addition to the current lottery system and not replace it, houses will simply have an auction, or a lottery.

let us start with the starting bid on 1.000.000 Gil and the auction ends on a set timer from the old system, ~72 hours.

Every time a person bids on the house, the cost increases by 3% for the next bid.
This would result in 4.256.219 Gil after 50 bids, or 18.658.866 after 100 bids.
Yes, you would reach Gil cap eventually after 234 bids!

Every time someone places a bid, the timer must increase by 5 minutes to prevent last second bids and give players enough time to collect their money and bid again.

You also must get a notification on your screen or timers to see if you're still the highest bidder.

Upsides:
People who play the game a lot or for a long time accumulated a lot of gil and have a better chance to get the house they want.
This system will take out more gil from the economy.

Downsides:
?
Gold sellers?

anyway, just my thoughts.

You would still get last minute bids, even if you make every additional bid increase the timer people would wait till the last day and last hour and start a bid war, and me being the clever little shit I am if I had gil to burn and assuming it allows you to increase your own bid every time someone ups it I would up it by 1 gil each time and make the bid war go for literal hours till everyone gives up. Even if you make the bar be you can only increase the bid in 100k intervals you would still get those people. It could essentially go on forever till you have two whales who are ARR rich duking it out and this is all ignoring Gold Sellers.
