as a relatively new player, i've been trying my best to enjoy pixpet. i like everything except the auction system. i've already voiced my stress about the auction system in my art shop, leading me to consider closing it (and leaving pixpet. but i really want to give it another chance).

i just want to know why the auction system was made. what its intentions were.

here are the reasons i've made this topic:

problems from the perspective of a newer player:
  • it's the rich player's playground. it feels like players are bullying each other, and whoever has more pc wins the war in the end. it's really discouraging to be bidding and suddenly a rich player increases the bid by 200 pc.

  • inflation and pricing problems. selling something rare isn't worth it. it can't get you other rare things. a thread in suggestions made a nice point of being able to trade items for items instead of items for pc only.

  • legendary pixpets are too common in the market, they're not worth to auction right now. (because 500 pc is nothing anymore when it comes to the auction system) i have four extra noo-long eggs! i have a starter friend i want to trade it to, but the auction system would make it impossible.

  • snipeguard is used in wars to purposefully tire people out. i enjoy the consideration, but 10 minutes is way too long. colocrow has kept me up hours. i barely had the money to finish the bid war, but the pressure of colocrow being limited stressed me out.

  • disconnect from community. i've tried my best to forgive some players, but i really cannot stand some of the frequent bidders in the auction house. one specific person (and that person knows who they are) really grinds my gears, and it makes me wish i could block certain people from bidding on something i'm bidding on. it's so frustrating. my patience has really run thin, leading me to hate the bidding community. this has gone past "haha you won this war but i'll win the next one!" it's not friendly rivalry when the people aren't friends in the first place. (i've tried to make peace with this one person. sending 89 white dragon scales for FREE. then a message with 11 more scales. no response except taking the 89 scales and then aggressive bidding in return)

  • difficulty to find items in dealer's den. i normally don't have time to go on the forums, scouring for a specific item i want in the dealer's den. especially when the forums do not have a search function. today was an exception, so i looked through all of the posts on the suggestions and help+questions threads. this topic was not here.


  • yes, i've followed the pc making guide as much as i could. i make pc off of the sudoku arcade game. but 150 pc is barely a reward when the auction system is like... that. i also know it's supposed to be hard to get pc. but this is too steep for newer players.

    i think the roots of these problems reside within the community itself. i just don't know how to tackle it aside from bringing these problems into a spotlight for discussion. though if that were the case, this forum might be moved to discussion instead of help and questions.
