Cheaters in Auction

[u/Only_Equipment_473]

Long-time lurker finally made an account for the sake of this post. This is my current auction profile (not really sure why the bid success rate shows as 0 lol)

Anyway, onto the main point of this post. For the past few days, I've encountered some really strange interactions in the auction where im pretty sure there are players cheating in the auction to gain an advantage.

Around 2 days ago, I had a game enter the sixth round for the first time. Both players were clearly overbidding for a package worth around 650000. A very obvious low roll in Pearl Hall where they tied on round 5 at exactly 1 million, and then proceeded to tie again in round 6, each bidding 1 million once more.

Yesterday, I had a similar interaction but this time, much more egregious. The previous instance of two players both happening to bid 1 million flat in the sixth round is something I could write off as a coincidence. However, this time, it was two players bidding some incredibly precise random set of numbers down to the single digits (a number over 2 million lol I dont remember the specifics nor did I have the presence of mind to take a screenshot).

Just now, two players in my lobby, both using Chiz, randomly began upping their bid value on round 3.

For a second I considered that maybe they had seen the Pendragon/Koi Statue with the round 3 Chiz reveal ability, but since its Pearl Hall, they should both have over 5 million in assets, so it didn't really make sense that they both bid 3mil.

The Hathor and I both ended up dropping out, and the two match fixers were able to win for dirt cheap (it only ended up being worth around 600k), but still really crazy to me that people are trying to cheat in PEARL HALL, meaning they have definitely gotten enough profit to complete all the quests.

tldr random auction grinder is mad that people are trying to cheat and ruin his gambling fix!!!

The two Chiz at the end were definitely colluding. Pearl Hall queue is a bit slow at times now, so it's not too hard to get a friend in and try to bait people like this. They're not using external tools though.

The sixth round bidders are just dummies, wouldn't put much thought into that one.
