I apologize if this suggestion post is not in the correct area, I was not sure exactly where to put it, but here goes!
I use my BottomScanner a couple times a day with several Snatches setup. Unfortunately, when I am scanning the AH with Auctioneer and BottomScanner pulls up a requested Snatch to bid upon, I am unable to tell how much time the auction has left.
Most of the time, I end up putting a bid down even though I do not know the auction's time duration left. I don't want to stop the scanning process just to look up an item. Unfortunately, the auction is usually not ending anytime soon and another player ends up putting a bid down. The item later pops up on my Snatch list again and I put a bid down again... You can see where this is going... I'm just creating a bidding war back and forth because I do not know how much time is left to the auction. And honestly, I have so many items on my snatch list that I do not want to look them up one by one to check their durations after the AH scan finally ends.
So would it be possible to include the auction's time duration in a Snatch pop up? Or is there something that I am totally overlooking?
Thank you for your consideration! ~Vix ;)
Congratulations! If you woke up today you get another chance.
if BTM is running in standalone mode, every auction you see is newly entered, and therefore nowhere near expiring (at best 2 hours, but more likely 8 or 24 hours).
if you're running piggybacked onto a scan, then things are more confusing. in general, the earlier the page, the closer it is to expiring, but this isn't completely true because the 2/8/24 hour auctions all intermix. there isn't any way to tell what is close to expiring at the moment. Given that BTM is really designed to be used standalone and catch auctions when they FIRST get listed, it's not likely we'd add the field you want, alas. a better bet would be to do your scan, then use the bid search to find things close to expiring.
