    In Game Name:
    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Main City Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Auctions: Reactivate "/bid" By Itself
    What are you suggesting:
    Back when I was active before, typing the command "/bid" by itself, with no number, would automatically bid one "increment" higher than the previous bid. It was great. Kept auctions going quicker. Now, we have to type in the exact number, and if someone else bids while we're doing it, we have to start over.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It simplifies auctions, and improves the game experience.
    Other information:
    I know this is possible, because it's how auctions worked before.
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Um ... probably. I know nothing about such things, but the phrase "auction plugin" sounds familiar?
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    I'm curious, was this re-enabled at some point? I definitely remember it being disabled whenever I tested it between (mid) 2015 and 2018, and according to the web archive¹ this change was made on May 9, 2015.

    Original suggestion that led to the removal of auto-/bid, including a reason:

    /bid command has been re-enabled.
    Max bid increment lowered from 100,000 to 1,000 to prevent trolling.

    Please add this to the relevant section of the wiki. I believe it will be in commands, as well as auction information page (regarding the increment change).

    Please tag me once complete.
