    I think that auctions should have a time limit of 30 maybe 45 seconds max. It's annoying when someone makes an auction for 120 seconds and only 1 person bids on it the whole 2 minutes and you're left there waiting for the auction to end before you make yours.

    Most of the time, people forget that there's an auction on during the 2 minute duration.

    Anyone agree?

    I think you should have a limit around 60, maybe 90 seconds. I can understand that some items can be a drag to wait through, but some items can end up with a bidding war... more time usually means higher price.

    Anything over 3 minutes is pushing it though. That's just bad.

    I agree with only 60-90 works

    maybe on bigger/rarer items a longer timelimit is okay... but I was selling lots of 1000 cobblestone for 100 gil with a tim elimit of 30 seconds... and between my auctions, someone was auctioning around 650 cobblestone for almost 700 (worse price) with like, a 2 minute time... so it was kinda of annoying

    Unfortunately there is no way for me to set a time limit on auctions, the only thing I / we can do is /auction end.
