Auction House question.

[Mycaelis]

@Ciaran , maybe you can help me out here.

I've seen that on the auction house, I can actually make bids for money which I don't even have in my bank account, and I also see a lot of £100,000,000 bids which I'm pretty sure a phony since only 2 people on the server actually have that kind of money.

What actually happens when the auction ends for these bids?

These people will enter a negative amount of money. So whoever has done that will need to get that money back before they can do anything!

So..anyone who has a 100 mill bid on their item will get 100 mill and some poor sod will have to make 100 mill before they can do anything?

Yep.. Were probably going to push an update out that makes it so you cannot bid more than your bank account, and remove the stupid bids...
