Hey everyone who plays survival! I am sure that all of you are thinking, hey, why's the stupid auction not starting? You do /auc info. The time left is at FREAKING -390274 SECONDS. You wonder why the heck this happened. Well, you're not getting your auctioned item back. That, and the issue is caused by a very odd glitch called the "ghost glitch". Whenever a player wants to make some money, but has to leave, they most likely just auction something and come back on later. Well, the system thinks, hang on, the person who started this is gone. Who do I give the funds to? Who do I give the item too? What the heck is happening? A simple way to fix this is don't leave if you start an auction. I've literally seen auctions go on for DAYS! Please, new players, don't do this, you don't get your item back either. Do not ever do this. In fact, this may even become a bankable thing, because it can cost people part of the Mystical Set of Armor (a set found only in Drop Parties with cheat enchants) because you left in the middle of you're auction. If you get server crashed or Internet crashed, that's different. However, intentionally doing it is bothering others on the server and causing trouble for the staff. Please just leave before the auction, the item will still be worth the same price the next day.
I don't see this becoming a bannable thing, I fully understand why you think so though. I also highly doubt that players that are un-aware of this, most likely newer members gets on the forums and see this message. I think there should be some warning thing when you do /auc, like ''Don't leave, your item will be lost if you're in the auction while it's up.'' to raise the awareness as it's a major problem. Good that you brought it up, someone might gain knowledge about this through your post and share this but I really believe they should implement a warning message. Have a nice day~
