I can understand that the site needed to fix the loopgole with the Free Shop, but is everyone on staff so out of touch that they couldn't see how ridiculously this would negatively impact questing (which is kind of a big deal since NY tokens)

Hopefully this means the main problem is unintentional (Link). I never refreshed to get multiples of the same item, but to me, the "item was already purchased" thing affecting other users was the main problem for me.

Edit: Well it looks like I was wrong about it being reverted back to how it was. I was typing this out before MrCool had posted. I'm still grateful that this was fixed up for us,thank you for listening to us on all of that. It was quite an ugly problem to deal with, IMO.

, yeah, no, to a lot of people, this is not the issue. The issue is that we can't easily buy bulk any more. I don't even understand why this is something that needs to be prevented. It's not even doing what it's supposed to; I can still buy bulk. It's not even been made slower. Just more annoying. Why, why why?

People buy in bulk. It's an sP sink. Something you want, right? Why make that more difficult? Sure, a lot of people resell them, but those people still dumped that sP in the void that is the main shops. So what's the problem? I'd really like this explained to me and I'm sure others would to.

I take everything back. I'd just read that post without checking if it'd been reverted. I thought it just made the ID thing different. Seems all is how it was now though. As said, thank you for listening.

One of the most fun things here is restocking and getting sp then giving stuff to people. I have a slow computer and this new system makes it so much worse I have to click waaaait click waaaait click ARGGGGGGG

before I knew I would miss stuff because others could zip in and snap things up and that was fair enough, but now I feel I just dont stand a chance and it is now so boring and tedious that I will just have to stop restocking :(

I can see the intention was good but it has really spoiled the fun for me though I know I havent been here that long etc

The backspacing thing doesnt seem to work for me and anyway again slooooow puter so it takes for ever

pretty pleeeeease Keith I so miss the old style ..puppy eyes .... please think about changing back til you think of a new cunning plan

EDIT: HOLY COW Its fixed ! :)

sheesh all those puppy eyes for nothing ... thanks so much anyway I love the way this site actually listens YAY

This is really shit. Just another kick up the arse for people who can't make sP by making CWS, art or buying CSC.

I love to restock. I have a fast connection, so I don't mind this change. It is going to drive prices up and reduce the amount of sP destroyed, because I'm just not going to restock items that have lower returns and sell slower anymore. I don't need those low sellers, but there will still be a demand for them. If folks pay me and other restockers more, then we might continue.

I don't see the Item Drive or Recycle Beast affected or ruined by this change.

I have a hoard shop and if the Item Drive prize is sufficiently nice, people do buy from my shop for it. My prices are not lowest, so if I'm selling, a lot of other people's shops got purchased from too. ID may not be a major glut destroyer, but it does very slowly and randonly work that way. If the item granted as a prize starts out cheap, then I don't see what's wrong with folks buying directly from shops though.

I still have regulars who buy from my shop for the Recycle Beast. The cost for doing the RB in general has gone up then, if a lot of you are restocking directly to the Beast. I liked the backup feature, but I remember when RBP were more expensive, people still went for it. This is not a bad change for Recycling.

I have tons of items that I have purchased from other players for waaay-less-than-restock-price that I use for Crystals, and had no problem getting them. Furthermore, it takes way less time to restock cheapo items from other players than shops, and it's been this way ever in the eight years I've been playing here. I have no sympathy for those who restock directly for Fragmentizing. You're doing it wrong.
