My bold face, not his.
1. Why can't the blind bids be proxy bids, so people (like myself, I am nearly broke) don't pay 10g when 3g would have worked. Just like eBay.
2. Remember the old days, when plots were cleared of everything when they went up for sale? So, which would you prefer? No novians and no quickly rebuilt machine somewhere else?
3. Off topic, but: Turn the darn novians into resources (bars, orbs, etc.) so someone has to actually build the stuff. When you tear down a wooden building, you get some wood. Not an 80% prepackaged building.
4. Do I have a 4? Oh, yeah ... some of us can't afford to be money sunk. Sorry about the busted English there.
