Also I&;m sure you&;ve noticed we&;ve just slowed down (a lot) on putting things in shops and have made restocking a lot less of a "thing" on the site in the past year+. We aren&;t devoting a lot of resources to main shops at the moment.

So basically we are not going o be able to make our sp by restocking now or not near as much? This kind seems like pushing buying the CSC if you want sp. :( I don't mind buying csc for sp to support my battle addiction, but there are a lot of people here that live on restocking to make their sp.

The Toy Box is in this category - "Pets. Find items to make your pets smarter or change them entirely here!"

Toys don't make pets smarter and the mystical ones which change a pet's species are sold in the Magic Box which I can't see in any category.

Edit: Well, the Cadogre Mystical toys are Magic Box according to SubetaLodge and the Feli Mystical Doll is Toy Box. Does the Feli Mystical Doll change a pet into a Feli? If so, wouldn't it be better to move it to the Magic Box?

Toys are in this category because they fit with pet happiness.

In the past two days over 80% of main shop purchases came from the shop search. Restocking just isn't a thing our current users really do that much of.

I, for one, make the majority of my sP by restocking...so I don't like how Subeta is putting less emphasis on the shops. I think the new layout looks sloppy and will definitely take time to get used to.

If the site shifts it's core more towards CSC (I'm noticing this is a trend in a lot of sites these days) it's pretty safe to say that I will no longer be active on Subeta. As much as I'd love to be able to support the site and I recognize that the site is dependant on CSC to stay afloat, I don't find it fair to force players to pay in order to truly get anywhere. That's where I draw the line.

Well yeah, because most users are intelligent enough to know better than to overpay for items. Why restock something when users sell it for cheaper? That's an issue with the economy, that staff should try to fix. Like retiring items more often... I don't think you guys retired any masks from Migrating Masks after the last Masq... And the result? Masks that sell in the shop for 1200 points are being sold for 600 points by users.

Costume Wigs that were released for Morostide still stock as well...

Buying things from the main shops via the shop search doesn't mean I'm not restocking. I'll frequently restock something I was directed to from a quest, or is in stock when I'm checking a price.

This strikes me as fixing something that didn't need to be fixed. And I for one would miss restocking -- even if I don't do it all the time when the mood strikes me I appreciate being able to do it and having fun looking for the good stuff. I don't really see why just because not a majority of users restock, we have to phase out having it at all?

When I saw someone suggest separating the stores on the main page, I thought I should say something then and now I regret I didn't.

I hate, hate hate the store separation. I hate seeing a couple of stores on the visible screen, a huge mass of white space, and then have to scroll forever to get to the stores at the bottom.

I don't find this format user friendly at all.

Toys are in this category because they fit with pet happiness.

Maybe the description needs to be reworded to include happiness because making a pet happy doesn't make it smarter let alone change it entirely unless the Feli Mystical Doll changes a pet's species. If it does it should be in the Magic Box, not the Toy Box.

You and I know what a toy does because we've been here for years but the current wording could be a bit confusing for new players.

"Pets. Find items to make your pets smarter, happier or change them entirely here!"

I FIXED THE DESCRIPTION,

also minions make pets happier too, so that works as well

Actual Genius Me, ok.

I still restock because I can make a lot of sP selling items which don't vend and are rarely given out as quest prizes. The majority of users not doing much restocking isn't anything new, though. The only way you could get everyone restocking in the past was by holding restock wars.

I make a lot of sP restocking as well. There is still a restocking community, even amongst those of us who also have a heavy hand in CSC. I get the economic need for the site to push more CSC and less onsite currency, but it's starting to go from a legit economic need to run the site to looking like Subeta's trying to force as many users as possible into buying CSC to convert into sP no matter what the cost. I can honestly say that if restocking were to go away or not be supported any longer that I would leave the site. I'd hate to do it, but restocking is by far my primary activity on Subeta. Without it I'd lose a lot of interest in the site as a whole. :(

Okay, now that the page is sorted... I think I hate it even more (I hate having to scroll forever to find things on this page). All this revamp has done is made me realize how much easier it is just to bookmark the shop I like to restock in (when I have the energy, which hasn't been much lately) so now I can completely avoid the "Main Shops" page... which is no longer the MAIN SHOPS. +1 Efficiency -10 World Building Honestly, I think I'll still prefer using our gorgeous map pages to find all those little shops that I sometimes like to look in. ^^
