It is frustrating to say the least. I have read the Blog posts both condemning and supporting these practices. I am not a supporter. I wonder, <strong>what if Bid Buddy was required and not optional?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Bid Buddy was required,\u00a0then one could plug-in as many bids as they choose and increase them as needed. It would sure stop the stomping and perhaps even lower the final costs of the auction selling price. Bidders would also collect\u00a0their time as highest bidder and level up easier, collecting their free bids. I can&#8217;t help but think it would help\u00a0newbies, in particular, from wasting bids before they know how to &#8220;play&#8221; the game of DealDash in order to have the best experience. If we stop them from wasting their bids, then we also stop them from wasting our\u00a0bids.<\/p>\n<p>Another secondary suggestion might be\u00a0requiring use of the\u00a0Bid Buddy until one\u00a0reaches a certain level. That way bidders\u00a0would need to\u00a0gain the right to bid and understand how the process and Bid Buddy works before being able to manually\u00a0bid.\u00a0Oh some seasoned bidders will still stomp at will but at least it would cut down on some of the stomping.
