Restocking is why I play Subeta. It is my main enjoyment on the site and now I have been trying to restock my shop for days with no success ---Maybe 2 -4 items in an entire evening. I hate wasting tokens on vending and I don't care for quests. I like the sheer joy of getting a Super-Rare item and now that is gone. It was like a virtual fleamarket, and finding that secret treasure, now all I can get is dross. Please Keith, it wasn't broke!!

I don't see much difference in the restocking times over the last few days. Restocking is my main source of activity here and I haven't been able to stock my shop or enjoy restocking like I have prior to this change. I left Neopets to come here, don't have plans to go back but if restocking is going to be this bad I guess I won't be hanging around here that much either except for site events. I have seen so many people upset by this it really makes me wonder why this kind of change would be happening if it is going to lose you players???

I don't see how changing the restocking times is going to help the economy on here. Even if I didn't restock, I wouldn't be happy because less rare/super rare items in shops means that prices for some quest items are going to go up eventually. That just leads to quests not being worth as much either.

I'm just wondering....I know that the restocking system hadn't had any changes since 2008.....BUT IT WORKED. So why fix something that already works??? Sure, dial up and down the numbers of certain rarities, add an algorithm to bump out items that are just sitting around. That's fine.

These timers are killing me, and the fact that literally only one or two items will RS when the restock finally does happen (I'm seeing times over an hour and a half again tonight!) is not going to do anything except push everyone away from restocking. Sure, some still will hang in and do it, but the vast majority of us who do restock make the bulk of our sP from it, and enjoy the fact that we don't have to spend all effing day on here to accomplish anything. I liked popping on for an hour or two, restocking, doing a few quests in between, pricing my plunder, then going on with my day. Now? I haven't had much of anything to drop into my shops because there's been nothing to RS, no sP coming in. No sP = me doing nothing on here.

The SubQ has been restocking more often than a lot of the NPC shops. :(

So if curbing restocking was the goal, then I applaud the changes. If not....well then.

I haven't noticed much of a change in spite of the supposed "fix" to the past few days of RS SNAFUs. The restock timers aren't hours long, I guess? That's all I've been able to notice.

FWIW, I will say: it's nice that Keith posted what amounts to reassurance (in my mind) that this is all unintended and is being worked on.

Call me picky, but I'm rather of the opinion that, if we must have this new system, any shop shouldn't be restocking at an interval of more than 20-30 minutes. There are still shops taking over an hour to restock (Seedlings being a current example). Come on!

hi... I'm very very unhappy with the new restocking system.... I stalked every day 3 Shops. Now there are 53, 13 and 19 minutes from the last restock. That makes no fun anymore... Please please put it back! It was perfect how it was!-___-

I was considering buying a Gold Account simply for the purpose of auto-pricing, but I don't think that I would anymore. It was great for the old system but now? Don't think I'll need it so there's no need for me to spend money on one. The biggest draw of a GA is auto-pricing and due to these negative changes, less people would be willing to purchase a GA.

It's a little bit better, but it's still not good. I'll be spending less time on site in the future, I guess.

It's barely a little better. I did manage to restock 6 or so items yesterday. In about 4 hours of playing. Have yet to see any of the new items to buy. My ability to earn and save sP for what I want is seriously diminished and the only thing I feel when I come onto subeta atm is frustration.

I will never understand with all the stuff that is broken on subeta why stuff that isn't broken gets "fixed" first.

I wish I could freeze my GA so that I could save my autopricer for when this is finally sorted out. That's if it ever will be sorted out.

I've noticed some items in the "rare" category restocking, but most of the time, it's available in usershops for a lot lower than NPC shop price. So even if the shops are restocking more, I still can't make much off of the items that are restocking.

If the restocks depend on the actions within the shops.... what items are being bought, how often items are cleared out from said shops....If the formula that determines RS amounts and times is based on this, nothing is ever going to restock because nothing much is restocking for people to buy.

When I RS, I'll have 4-6 shops tabbed up in my browser and surf around to each and reload them pretty frequently. In the middle of the night when there's barely 400 users on, and literally one item, and only ONE of it would restock at times. After waiting a half hour. And I'm not seeing any difference with more users on and most likely attempting to RS as I type.

BLARGH on fixing things that don't need a major overhaul.

Spells Galore Restocked 1 hour, 9 minutes ago

Minions Market Restocked 41 minutes ago

The Sable Smithy Restocked 4 hours, 49 minutes ago !!!!!!!

Carnival Stand Restocked 38 minutes ago

Some shop still not restocking the items they used to do I have spent a lot of RL money on here the last few months and if we cannot buy items to restock our shop/s to make sp what is the point of being on here.

I don't depend on restocking like some people do on here but if it is going to continue like this this place is going to lose quite a bit of its user base. You pride yourselves on listening to your user base but it seems you are not doing so just now and in the end subeta will lose out.

How much more complaining must we do before you fix this mess? Please put it back the way it was because a lot of players are getting really fed up.

The longer this goes ignored, the more I'm convinced it's not a glitch and will not be changed.
