Auction House bid bug

rillelrillel Member Posts: 31
edited June 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
This has happened several times for me now and it's seriously frustrating because it makes bidding absolutely impossible.

Due to the nature of bidding it usually comes down to the last seconds but for me, every time the remaining time gets below 1 minute the bid button is greyed out. I can bid just fine before that, but when it really counts I can't do anything but watch in frustration as the clock ticks down and I lose the item.

Am I missing some AH mechanic here or something? Because this is pissing me off.

    I lost 8 items in the same day because of this. It will not allow me to bid in the final minute. I have been high bid on an item into the last minute and then I get mail saying I have been outbid. Can anyone bid in the last minute ? Is this an issue that needs to be corrected or is this the way the auction works.

    Belive me, that isn't the worse. Ever happened to you to be outbid after the auction is over?

    Happened to me. Twice

    Are you using the Gateway or in-game? Because I've noticed that the Gateway is off by the difference between your system clock and the server's clock...

    I'm fairly sure the system prevents sniping from being effective by adding additional time to sniped lots. Not that helps with your issue, just saying.

    That feature was disabled a few patches ago. Now it's just staring at the time left until 1 second before you bid.

    Oh yes... *watching it tick down to 0* "Woho, I actually won something for once!" *checks mail, "you have been outbid"*

    Where did you see this announced? I've never heard of that as a benefit of the founder's packs.

    Humm, false. I got the HotN pack and I too am unable to bid once it's less than 1 minutes left. Stop disseminating lies.

    Im having an oppsoite problem. On one character the maximum slots to put up items for bid is 4 while another character can have like 17 items up for bid as a maximum.

    Anyone know whats up with that?

    Could be worse, I bid 230k on an item and watched the counter tick down to zero. Two weeks later and I have still not received my item, a refund of my bid, or even a response to the ticket...
