Can we agree that without the possibility to disable it it would be pain in the butt for pretty much everyone?

the restriction to bid more than 10x of the current price prevents players from accidently placing a bid way over the price you wanted to bid.

i agree it could be anoying in a bid war to always be asked to confirm the bid. but for the first bid you could make players confirm their bids. because there you have the same problem of doing something wrong.. you think its 200.000 but its 2mio you bid and youre fucked up. thats the same like a player who stands at 200k and you accidently bid 2mio.

its a matter of counting zeros :)

Today I got another reason against the "confirm" button - I went into a bidding war via my mobile phone (not via WLAN, but via mobile connection).

Every Pageload took a while, and when another confirmation page would pop up it would be virtually impossible to use mobile phones for bidding. A big downer nowadays.

you got me wrong.. i dont want a button in a bid war.. in a bid war you usually bid the next few k $ so you dont get in trouble

i mean only for the first bid ever placed on a player. thats where you can get in trouble mixing up 0000000 with 00000000 or something.. as soon as there is a bid on a player there is no need for confirmation except for the restriction of not being able to bid more than 10x..

Hi,
I'm quite a noob compared to you guys, so do not get me wrong if i seem insolent.
When i look for a guy on the TL (it doesn't happen that often :P) i get a first glance at the whole market, then I type a max current bid in the TL browser preferences to keep only the guys i can afford / place bid on. There is no chance to get an overpriced first bid that way ...

Yes i agree with this part, and extend by saying:
'Confirm the bid if the user manually enter's the bid amount'.

If the bidding amount has been auto-populated by the BB-system, then no confirmation required.

So a confirm notice on the first bid (regardless of whether its been typed in or not) and all-subsequent manually typed in bids.

I think this is a very good idea, I once made that mistake (in another game) and it crushed me.

I also don't think a disable button for this feature is a must- and even without it this suggesion is still a good one, remember that in a bidding war it doesn't matter who makes the bid as long as the price goes up, so even if you can't manage to place your own bid just wait for a while or try again until most of the managers give up, you are not going to run out of time...

not sure if you noticed this - but a 'confirmation' feature has been added. Im not sure of the details, i just tried to bid on a player for the first time, using an auto-populated amount, and it asked me to confirm.

in other words - this suggestion has actually been implimented!

Hoorah for People power!

well done Buzzerbeater for doing this! :)
