Date auctions have been a thing for a while now--on Balmung, in XIV, in MMO's, in real life. It's not about innovation or originality. To go back and quote what Sastra said, "What mostly matters to me is that there isn't 5x the same event by different people in a row." The question isn't, "Has it been done before?" but rather, "Have there already been five of these this month?" I believe there's a difference before doing an event that's been done before as opposed to jumping on a bandwagon.
see that doesn't actually matter. If people want to do five date auctions in a row then that's their prerogative; not yours. The community doesn't need to be told what to do or how to do it. It doesn't even need to be suggested at, either. If everyone does their own thing then none of it really matters. If five date auctions happen on one weekend then fine! Social Darwinism will settle it out accordingly.
