This was not the intended use of main shops, you are meant to have to go back and buy an item again instead of being able to refresh on the buy page.

Because it was a bug that you could mass purchase items that was introduced when we removed the captcha for items < 50 rarity.

Those features are more for removing items already on the site (millions) vs spending sP buying up a few at a time to buy them from main shops.

It's absolutely time to take a look at those features and figure out how they fit into not just mindlessly buying things from the shops to turn around and sell them somewhere else :)

I do understand, but it's not the kind of competition we really like :) Also I'd like to just point out that this change was made for everyone so it doesn't change the "tools" of competition because everyone is on the same ground.

Considering very few users actually participate in the item drive, it doesn't really accomplish that goal.
