See the thing is... it has nothing to do with how much time you have to check the market. That's what people don't seem to understand, even if every user was on the market... they could not have kept up with the stream of players available. Thousands of players all on the same second, you couldn't bid fast enough. This should have been staggered better so not to water down the market.
The other thing to remember is this will essentially be a one season money grab, by next season 250+ guys will not even be worth purchasing. Its like PPM dropped a giant pile of money out of the sky, which is great for an economy... I'd hate to have players on the market right now. Oh, wait I have 10 players on the market, crap.
