Is this happening? because it sounds like an exploit which would be contributing to the RSing issue (i.e. someone instantly buying out stacks of books)/
Oh jeez, I hadn't considered there potentially being someone abusing an exploit to vacuum up all those books. :X I also noticed a book hoarding shop while doing Alexander quests the last couple nights, possibly the same shop talked about. That person must have wrists of steel to be constantly clicking so many times day in and day out, or they're abusing an exploit/script/autoclicker program to build their stock to the point of depleting the shop in its entirety until Keith turned up the restock dial. Either way it's kind of odd.
It got fixed prettt shortly after. We cant access it anymore.
All shops seem to behave correctly this morning. Adequate number of items and restock times, not masses of super rares keep materializing out of nowhere.
Even though I'm happy they did yesterday, because I saw and even managed to grab a few books, which I literally haven't seen in shops in years anymore, if ever! And I DO hope, they will reappear every now and then again from now on!
First of all, and most importantly, thank you for listening, reconsidering, and taking actions to address the problem.
I also think it's great that you've come up with a new and improved (hopefully) restocking system. It's not a bad thing to want to improve your site to make it easier for staff to maintain as well as make a better experience for players. And I get that you're excited about it, it's really cool, can't wait to release it. This is all well and good!
But please understand that right now, as far as we the players are concerned, that new system is all hypothetical and off in the future somewhere. For many players, especially ones like me who have been around for many years, Subeta "soon" can mean anything from a few weeks to several months to essentially never. In other words, that kind of promise isn't reliable. As "silly" as it is, the current restocking system is what we have now and it's all we have to work with.
I get that you aren't exactly happy with patching the old one up when you've got something new and exciting in the wings (maybe, eventually), but like it or not, it's what's in place right now and we need it to function properly during an event that relies heavily on restocking. So again, thank you for listening and continuing to monitor the situation.
Items in shops was great while questing today! There were still quite a few overpriced items, especially books, but things seem to be much better. Thank you!

I've noticed something weird: First the new restock happens - new items in the shop, only afterwards it says "Restocked now". I guess it should be simultaneously?
