    If this happened (the time at which the screen shot was taken) after the announcement of the end of TW bidding then I do not see the issue. The original bids are still anonymous until after bidding closes, at which point all the bids are announced.

    I don't recall if this was after TW bidding had closed or not so what you described is possible.

    I just don't recall the system ever announcing the eventual TW winning bids before if that is the case.

    when bidding ends it announces it, but the stuff as they bid needs to go.

    whats worse still is not only the *un*silent bidding but all the rest of the system message crud going on.. i'm kinda partial to my "desktop real estate" etc and tend to have things on my game as small and out of the way as possible, so, second-smallest size chat window with the general window transparent and directly above it and set to display all non-chat related things such as zone-change, damage, etc and leavin the chat window for just that, chat.. so when in a BH its not cluttered up with useless stuff i dont need to see.. there is however no way to turn off these "silent" messages, and if theres say 10 in a row from an all-out TW fest, there tends to be a slight lack of communication among squad members cuz they dont see what was said.. add to that the auction system announcements, duke's shouting every time someone gets a charm or token (which seems to be rather frequent, god i wish duke would develop laryngitis..) i've had wipes thanks to these system messages, usually right after barb says "Ok cleric dont BB just spamheal me and party heal once in a while if needed" and the cleric didnt see it cuz instantly after there were about 5 "PersonX has recieved Thingy" messages and "PersonX has bid x gold on itemx blah blah blah" x2 as well as TW announcements all in a row (how inconvenient is that) givin ya a heck of a scrollback to go thru just to see what was said.. give us the option to "mute* the system messages or at least move them to the other window if they MUST be left on, i personally dont care that "A Faction has declared war on Nef's territory of wherever", i'm not in any of the TW'ing factions.. I do not care who has recently aquired a new charm, i dont plan on PK'n them.. i dont care who bid what on what item NOR how long it will take till they win the item.. i didnt bid on it myself so its of no interest to me..

    Oh side note, make up your mind PWI if its a "Faction" as the system messages say and the UI says, or a "Guild" as the little new chat-label says ;)

    K sorry for the little rant, lol, the "silent" tw messages were just the last straw that kinda got to me
