Highest Bid Indicator

Something I've come to notice is that when people are going back and forth in land auctions, if they are trying to stay really close its hard to tell who really is holding the bid. In the NES version the person holding the highest bid would blink. In the atari version (i have via a rom and emulator) the person with the highest bid would change colors between their own and the color of the shop (ie. when land bidding they would flash red (as thats their color) and orange.
In the few games I've played so far, its been stated or seen that someone else looks as though the have the highest bid, in one instance my character had a higher money value under its icon yet someone else won the plot.
Any form on indicator would be fine, a lil arrow/triangle above their head, for them to blink like the NES version, or to change colors like the atari version, etc.
Even if this was lift out intentionality to make it more of a challenge when two people are holding a close battle, I still say to add it because at any auction the highest bidder is always identified.

Latency, a synonym for delay , is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. Basically even if they did blink you can only see your perspective when the reality is affected by the latency, which is why the host has a huge advantage in this game.

i know about all latency, and I've read over the some of the topics about the cons of the current setup, but I still say there should be some form of indicator.
