Yerand was supposed to make this post. He has not, I am dissapoint.
Back in ye olde days of yore people could be spiteful just before they were bought out and scrap all their buildings. To deal with this issue buildings were automatically remade when a person gets bought out if they were unable to build somethign else on that tile in time. This helped deal with the problem tremendeously. However, recently the auction black market item recieved a buff to not have a cooldown on the black market. This allows for something far worse than scrapping buildings, removing tiles. The idea is that you buy an auction and use it, and then use the money you made from that auction to use another. This opens up a lot of potential for abuse. Even when no one bids on the tiles the auction still takes time to finish. This can slow the game down by several miniutes for everyone, ruining the game, yet another reason why this is worse. Honestly with how little the auction item is used I would like to see it removed or else paired with a good item like new claim, but auction definatly cannot continue to exist with no cooldown on the market.
