    Oh so richer people can be asses and place higher bids on a land just so the smaller factions won't get a war and won't get a refund?

    Oh, just brilliant.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    What I mean is, from your post it sounds like the system is announcing bids, just not saying who is making them. Is this the case? Can you please post screen shots of these announcements?

    Would you not be able to start up your test server, put on TW bidding mode and test it that way?

    It seems that system message is sent to your faction members only? On Ht ... I don't see anything like that. But I'm not in a TW faction either.

    Maybe its just to let you know that you are being attacked, wierd tho it doesn't say which territory

    What does it matter? Maybe thats how they meant to make it, not like you know any devs you can talk to or know to patch it..... RIGHT??

    So why are you asking?

    You're right Frankie doesn't test the patches. Because its not his job to do so. You can blame me, I gave him outdated information.

    They've officially made fake bidding 10x easier if the guilds are willing to spend the cash. Not trying to blame the GMs, but this is just one more thing to show that the "Official Responses" to our issues were . . . questionable.

    soo, GMs dont test patches, are obviously not logged into the game and are given outdated information. so what does PWI employ them for? to throw gas on the fire of outraged players by saying ridiculous **** like "hey at least you guys have +30 attack level blessings, the chinese dont get them" (because facebook is blocked in china) or gambling packs (which the chinese government has outlawed because it encourages children to gamble)

    sounds like a crappy job to me.

    maybe someone should log into the game and see how little gold there is in the auction house, probably a symptom of the new fixed economy.

    PWRD lost 2.42% of their stock value today. wake up.

    Not only easier but also more significant. As someone (Michael_dark?) pointed out earlier in the thread, it's now very easy for a rich faction to completely **** a poorer one by outbidding them. Before it just meant that the poor guy missed out on TW for a week. Now it means he loses his shirt.
