Just so people can "conveniently" hop from one auction to the other?
That would drive me nuts as a customer.
This is clearly a proposal for the convenience of patrons.
Perhaps some people pick one auction per week they really like and leave the others alone.
That makes more sense from a buyers point view and perhaps even for sellers we do not have unlimted money.

I agree here completely and as breeder I pick auctions I attend based on my sl available time and on the auctioneer, where I know Ill get what I like on auction. I cant attend them all, Id like to, perhaps to know all auctioneers and to find more that fit my preferences, but with so many on the auction schedule its im possible and yes, auctions are NOT only thing in sl, we all have our time doing something else maybe even not Kittycats related. Though, good thing is there is huge variety and that means I, as customer can choose few that fit my preferences both as buyer and seller on auction.

If people are investing their time as auctioneer and money as sim owners as well as both time and money as patrons, no one outside that group of breeders, buyers, sellers, sim owner and auctioneer can tell them how much time is the limit for them. At least its something Id never agree to. that does not mean we will now go making our auctions last 5 hours so to give everyone hard time, just means that we should to our patrons provide them with best we can to have them enjoying, selling, buying and coming back. those are the rules of auctions, be unique, be approachable and have your patrons come back. A lot are doing this Im sure, and its your patrons who make your rules, your buyers your sellers who carve how long auction is going. If you get a bid war going on on every single panel, means as you go closer to end youll tell people what? hurry up I got to finish? will any of you be willing to do that to customers? I know if I was among last panels Id not be enjoying my offered cat being rushed out just cause an auction I neither attend as breeder, seller or buyer is about to start, my offered cat deserves same treatment just as first few and if auction is blooming and going good does that really mean later panels will need to be cut down?

Make little math if auction starts in exactly 11:00 means, we got 5 mins per panel for 10 regular 1 auctioneer and one either special or sim panel. meaning if you w<ant to advertise something during auction for sim or make announcements, you got less than 5 mins per panel. If bid wars raise it also means last panels will what have 1-2 mins? Im sorry to say Im against rules on time of auction length, as I saw as patron, incidents were not a common thing, yes they happen but if you talk it out things always work about.
