    Default Auction manipulation

    Many players are abusing auction spamming items.

    Example:
    Let's say most people sell x999 Red eggs at 3k each
    Player 1 places 20 x1 red eggs individually at 2.5k each filling 5 pages of auction
    Player 2 places 20 x1 red eggs individually at 2k each.
    Player 3 places x999 red eggs at 1.9k each.

    They are deceiving players into selling their items for less gold. For these type of events, we don't want to spend 3 minutes trying to figure out what is the real price people are offering their items. There are legitimate ways of merching, but I don't think this should be one of them.

    Suggestion: Add a restriction of 5 minutes to use auction for people who abuse this behavior.

    Please, don't hard punish these people because I'm pretty sure there must be at least 1 of them that doesn't know how to sell more than 1 item at a time or got lucky enough to sell the same item several times without the intention to manipulate the prices.

    Not only 20 space sometimes i saw 50+ auc slot and they not using only 1 but 2-5 dummy characters have massive auc slot.

    impossible they dont know what they doing 100% sure. its obvious they deciving the players o farmers

    and this is not only ARLORIAN EGG EVENT they doing this every event there have Mats/items .

    yes make some restrictions for 1-5mins or maybe limit put the same items like 5 pcs limit

    doesnt affect eggs selling , as those who wanna buy bulk will search cheapest by unit . and scroll down until you find eggs x100s .

    it sorta helps you at the same time as other players have to scroll down also .otherwise those bulks of eggs will be sold so fast and quick
