Did you guys forget that theres only like 500 real players left. The other 13,000 across all servers are bots. CoD Black Ops 2 has like 500,000 players at peak time, and thats being generous. If you think more than 500,000 people play Diablo 3 at peak times, youre kidding yourself. Theres probably like 10,000 active Diablo 3 players. Lol. (The last part is sarcasm, not a real statistic)
Total Bullshit. Get your facts straight.
First of all Player counter will be integrated in 1.0.7 so until then noone knows how many simultaneous users D3 EU / US has. The fact that they implement this states that numbers still going strong. Short notice, I sold all my gold until last week every time in 100 Mil batches. Only the last 100 sold 36 Mil and rest went back to my stash. Gold mostly sells in the last 15 minutes of the auction since that is the timeframe Blizzard gives you exclusive access to all gold orders that are made at that specifc time.
So if your auction ends at 8:00AM on Monday and is 100 Mil big, and someone orders 100 Mil in the timeframe between 07:45 AM and 08:00 AM you sell everything.
If your auction ends at 08:AM on Friday and is 1Bil big, and someone orders 100 Mil in the timeframe between 07:45 AM and 08:00 AM you only sell 100 and the rest goes back to your stash. Then the next seller gets his turn.
Because I know you will ask this. If 60 people sell 1Bil each and auction runs out lets say between 07:45:00 and 08:00:00 who will sell first will be decided by exact running out time up to milliseconds. So the guy whos auction ends 07:45:00 gets his stash to sell before the guy whos auction ends at 07:45:01 . Same with multiple buyers, if 100 people order 5 Mil at the time your auction runs out you sell your 100 Mill to the first 20 people then the next seller gets his turn. Blizzard hower doesnt put this together as 20 single transactions in your auctions sold tab. It makes it more easy and just said ok you sold out completely. If you don`t understand this concept or explanations don`t send me PMs, just stop botting D3 and do yourself a favor.
So best Idea is to have auctions run out on peak times and in 100 Mil batches ( most common buying order) 15minutes apart from each. So you maximize the time your gold auctions can sell.
Really clever people would also think about selling with the same strategy in off-peak times. Since all the monkeys sell in peak times only.
Its funny how you guys are able to install a bot and configure it properly and spend time on this forum to study profiles etc, but don't even know how the part of the game works you can make money with.
Sidenote nfor HDThree.
Your CoD2:BO statistic is bullshit as well, Currently online: 9,411 Peak Today: 37,829.
It even dropped out of Top 10 played games on steam recently.
So why don`t you just keep your bullshit and made up statistics for yourself? Get your facts straight or stfu, easy as that.
