I agree, I'm a little guy trying to improve my casinos and all I can do is bid and then watch some whale come along and outbid me. The end result is the rich get richer and the little guy gets nothing. If I had been around when the items I'm bidding on were offered I would have bought some thru gold sales. As I wasn't here then, buying thru the auction is my only option for getting them. It is frustrating to say the least that I almost never win an auction unless for some reason the whale decides to be nice and let one be bought by someone else. Even then there is no guarantee that the whale will play nice in the process. They could still bid up an item to an expensive level that wouldn't even be noticeable to them but would almost bankrupt me. If there was a limit on how many of a specific item a person could win within a specified time frame, it would allow others to get a chance to win items without them being pumped up to ridiculous levels.
