Can we get these threads locked and only bidding allowed once cash is confirmed by staff member? Its extremely fraudulant to bid and jack up the price on something with no intention of buying or even having the cash. I would hope anyone doing this would realise how childish it is and stop it, but maybe thats wishful thinking. Players who have legitimately earned the required ammount to bid may be dissuaded by false bids from people who do not have the money. Also I cannot see any reason for making false bids other than to cause unneccisary trouble within the community or financially attack another player. Say a real bid is made for 3m, if a false bid is then made for 3.5 by someone who does NOT have the money, and the original bidders do not know this, they then may bid 4m. This entirely false bid has cost those legit players an extra million gold. This cannot be allowed and I personally would like to see people who've bid falsely jailed as you would do to anyone displaying abberant behavior within the community. But thats just my opinion.
