Auctions are stupid

[Mr.Heroin]

1. u get less
2. you need to stay afk to bid, for what since:
-IF YOU HAVE A LEGENDARY CAR: bid is useless, someone will just buyout at a point
-ANY NON LEGENDARY MAXED CAR: no one bids
3. ppl can't bid more than the buyout? you sell the best carr in the game and u get crap

So your annoyed that a system that is designed to allow for multiple buyers to bid on auction has buyers who want to bid on actions? That sounds like a you problem.

There's like 10 cars available of what I searched.

If there are that many available, it sounds like something pretty common you could just buy in the shop. Or something low value that people don't really want.

None have bids and they all have about the same starting and buyout price. I bid on the one ending the soonest and some a-hole buys it out.

A person buying a car at the auction house for the buy-out price is not an a-hole. They are doing exactly what the system allows them to do. You make it sound like they have some vendetta against you. Chances are they just opened up the auction house, saw the first one on the list and clicked buy. It had nothing to do with the fact that you were bidding on it. It's not personal.

As I said above, it's not really an auction, it's a fixed-price shop with extra steps. Maybe once in a while you get a bargain if you want to hang around in there. But you could do something else, like actually play the game and earn the credits to just buy the car outright, either from the shop or using the buyout price.

Didn't say I was annoyed about the system. Annoyed by the players. Like why buy out a car that someone has bid on when there are others with the same buyout price? That's being an a-hole.

It was a car you can't buy at the autoshow. If I wanted a car that is available at the autoshow then I'd buy it from there because the ones in the auction house have stupid inflated prices.

You don't need to quote an entire post just to say that. In the past I wouldn't have bothered to point that out but things are really getting out of hand, especially in this forum with people posting stuff and not even searching if there wasn't a post even in the past couple of day on the exact same topic. Or, as you have done, clogging up the feed with a bunch of unnecessary duplication, which only then makes it hard for people who want to do the right thing and actually search for topics rather than spamming the thread.

Also, your response does nothing to further your argument. You are self centred and narcissistic and calling people names because they don't abide by what is best for you. And the danger of that is that we live in a world where a lot of people can't tell the difference between a personal inconvenience caused by somebody doing what they are entitled to do, and a personal attack done by somebody doing the wrong thing and intending to do you harm. I can only suspect that you have lead such a sheltered life that you have never really truly met an a-hole, or you are such an a-hole yourself that you just project that on to everybody you meet.

And again, I don't really usually bother to respond, because usually people like you get away with spewing your drivel and anybody who dares to call you out on your crap is usually the one who gets reported and then some sensitive snowflake who works for steam bans the wrong person because of their personal politics rather than the merits of the situation.

Calling somebody a rude word because you took something personal that was nothing to do with you is immature. And I know logic won't impact on you and I'm basically wasting my time, but something needed to be said.

Amen to that.

I know I am heavily off-topic at this point, but it's the same when people talk about games. Barely anybody can tell the difference between "the game is bad" and "I don't like it".
I've read so many "This game sucks"-comments due to players simply not liking it for whatever asinine reason.

and then some sensitive snowflake who works for steam bans the wrong person because of their personal politics rather than the merits of the situation.

Not 100% sure about this, but I think the people "patrolling" the Steam discussions are part of the game's community team, rather than Steam.
And getting toward the bottom of things and finding the merit of the situation can at times be very time-consuming. Not necessarily time the person who handles the situation has.
Not trying to defend him, by the way, just giving my 2 cents on the matter.

I wish you could filter the auction house by 'cars not owned' instead of having to select a manufacture and model.

And exclude cars you can't buy either way. In fact they should add this into the Autoshow as well. It's stupid they show you cars you need real money to purchase, when you search for "affordable" cars. If I can't purchase a car with in-game currency, it isn't really "affordable".
