Of course there are ways to shorten these auctions by simply changing the way they end, but no auction house seems to care. One change I implemented was to reduce the 15 minute interval to 10 minutes, and finally to 5 minutes, to compress the time it took to place final bids. It didn't hurt anybody and my auctions typically ended in the midnight- 1:00 AM range. I always felt having an auction run all night was unnecessary. But I get the feeling I was in the minority on that one.
