Literally just thought about this so point out any flaws you might find. So basically make a subforum within community auctions called "Promoted Auctions". Basically, let's say you have an auction up for a really rare or special item. You can talk to a staff member and pay a fee (3.5k?) to move your auction into that forum where it will get more attention. Thoughts?
I really don't see what benefit this would have. It wouldn't affect how much time it spends on the recent threads, and I don't think a promotion is going to have any affect on whether or not people want to bid on it. It would just make people who could afford it on their auctions feel special. Maybe there's a benefit I'm not noticing?
I'm fairly sure Aikar was already planning this. I'll try to find it and link it. http://empireminecraft.com/threads/recent-threads-auctions.31400/#post-603819
Tbh if an auction of yours goes for less than 3.5k with this, was there any point in paying the 3.5k in the first place ? I feel if this were implemented it would have I be a set percent of the final bid that gets paid to the staff/void
