I am an avid villain and I just recently started playing heroes after deleting all my blues during i10. I placed a post on the auction then realized that I had posted the wrong thing for the wrong amount. Granted, it was only a few thousand but when I clicked cancel, I didnt get a refund.
I've been told that the reason for this is to deter people from placing items on the auction for large amounts, but I feel that the market would work itself out in that people just won't intentionally pay for something that's overpriced. However, I don't understand this rationality. If someone is removing something from the auction, it's not "overpriced." It's probably a mistake. Can someone explain this in a way in which it would make more sense?
The reason for this post is not for myself, but for those who are new to the game who don't have a 50 to farm infamy/influence with. Instead, they have to scrape and scrouge currency to be able to post something. If they made this mistake, they'd be back to ground zero with nothing to show for it.
I feel that the auction system would work itself out without the intervention of the devs or GMs and that if someone cancels an auction, they should get a full refund of the auction systems cut.
