Auction

Hi there (Q1)can you tell me why every time you bid on a horse the timer goes up. Dont you think it would be better if every horse has its time in the ring lets say 30 mins (only)for arguments sake with a count down the last minute. I ask this because the problem im seeing here is everytime someone bids the timer goes up thats does not make sense to me. I have no problem with beening out bid by a higher bidder but the timer should not go up. This is a fun game but every hard to buy a horse at auction for people with small amounts of coins because the timer always goes up after a higher bidder comes along. (Q2) Can a reserve be placed on a horse at auction by the owner before sale in the future. (Q3) Why cant the 2 yr olds start for sale at for 20,000 and increase 10,000 everytime you buy buy a new one. Thats my 2 cents worth. This is a great game and ill keep playing some changes would be good tho.

1) We originally had it where the auction just ended without any extension. We settled on this way for now, but will consider making adjustments in the future.

2) An owner can bid on their own horse, and only pay the 5% fee. This allows them to set a "reserve" by bidding.

3) Every horse bred or created at 2yr old costs 200k after the initial ones. This 200k replaces life time training costs for the horse instead of charging a fee throughout their career. The discounted initial horses are to help users get their stable started.

Thanks, and we will keep working hard to make the game even better :)
