This is my first time posting a suggestion topic so my apologies in advance if what I'm describing doesn't make much sense. I've had this idea for a while but essentially, rather than a bunch of lion auction forums a separate in-game mechanic is created so that players could auction off their lions, a bit similar to the raffles that can be hosted. It would only take a few clicks and a player can place a bid on the lion being auctioned.

The Benefits
- (No worry about time management) If a player is too busy to send the winner of an auction their lion, this system would prevent any worry about receiving or giving lions on time.

- (Prevents fake bids) Considering you'd only be able to bid items or currency you have it's a guaranteed way to prevent people from lying about what they may have.

- (Set timers) This would allow bidders to see exactly how many days they have left to bid on a lion.

- (Easy Documentation) With this system, members who bid will be informed if they have been outbid so that they have the option to set a higher bid. Much more convenient than a forum notification.

- (No Scams!) With this system in play, it would prevent members from changing the opacity of lion's markings before advertising them. It would only show how the lion looks as is. [Suggestion from Robin ⭑ clean ubaste pie (#278312)]

- (Possible Giveaways) This system can also be used for giveaways. Similar to choosing if a raffle is one winner or multiple you can set it to auction or giveaway so members can join with just a click of a button! This can prevent rigged giveaways since it's selected by Lioden not the host.


I feel like implementing something like this could really help. Especially when it comes to de-cluttering forums and posts as well as members who have lions they would rather auction than abandon. I think a good example of how it would/could "look" would be how the raffle lionesses are set up. It shows all their markings, eye color, mane color, etc with a button on the bottom. (Just a thought, lmk what you think.)

A very poor example but an example nonetheless lmao

Lioden can't even figure out how to set ticket values for items on a system run raffle, even arbitrarily. Until there is a way to set individual values for things in a game feature like this, I don't see it working well. It's a good idea in concept though, so I hope this gets noticed.

@Angela I would love to see the little things tweaked out before a concept like this gets taken look at for sure

No support mainly because most auctions actually have an option to pay with items. Lioden doesn't have a set worth for anything, and having to add what could be 1000 items [yes, some auctioners do this] and setting a worth that might have to actually change would be a huge waste of time.

it's a really great idea, but i think the forums is where auctions should stay as they're easy enough to manage.

@Rufus If there was a way the member holding the auction could allow items to be bid as well as their worth according to the person auctioning it'd be so nice lol

This is a great idea! Just auctions should be sb/gb only due to the fact Items have no true worth!

This would also help with the issue of people upping opacities on markings since catfishing lions feels like it happens a lot. Just show them as they are!!

That's a really good point as well Robin :0 I hadn't even thought of that can I add it to the post and credit you?

no support bc i dont think it would be possible due to most of the time, auctions are paid for using item tickets

good idea tho!

Maybe would be good if people would set their prices for wanted items?

I think It would be harder to do but yea I like the idea :3 It would open up more options for auction items!

If the auctioneer has a choice to set something like a point value to each item they want to choose for an option for bidding I could see this work. Say 1 GB = 100 points, crunchy = 2,000 points, etc. It would have to be up to the one setting the auction of course

I imagine a system like that could work similar to how setting up raffles is (slightly) so it could be done :3

supported, however i love all the pages people get on their auctions, but this is very good!

I'd ask that you could have the option to be notified if someone outbidded you as well :D
