I don't really get why taking non-specific elements from other sites is so terrible? I mean, people liked Neopets. So if you take the basics of that site, add in the Gaia HA feature and better art, and remove the oppressive, juvenile atmosphere, why wouldn't people want to play the site? I mean, I guess if Subeta aimed to be completely different from the get-go you might not want to become so similar, but I don't think that was the intention.

And that whole Minion Battling System that regular users still can&;t use? Yeah, that was a fine example of pisspoor time management and prioritization.

lol. yeah. i still dont get the plan for the minion battling. how did that come up in discussions/meetings. There's no backstory, was not suggested/requested heavily, kind of just died. just, hey lets do this.

Meanwhile closing the Atebus shop is still on the table despite a huge drive from people who don't want to see it closed coming up with enough ideas to keep it running for years P= I have no idea how staff decide this shit.

I was just chatting back and forth with Amber over on another topic and it seems that might have been shelved for the time being as the monthly themed revamps and whatnot have worked out better than staff anticipated. Unfortunately, it seems any proposed help to the Atebus shop is still months away as she said they have the next 5 months laid out for themes already.

I just read those posts, sounds more like to me it's on the table but a low priority. But it'd be nice to know if they really have changed their minds or not P=

- I agree... I really want them to take into consideration that, given some revamped art, new items, and maybe a tie-in, the Atebus shop could be one heck of a shop. So many good ideas were put out there, it would be an absolute shame not to at least try them out before finally giving up entirely. At least then, when the staff did close the shop, they wouldn't have to put so much work into redoing the items for Stargazer or whatever they were planning on using them for as it would already be done.

What makes it all the more annoying is that new restockable items have been added to the site. What's the point of making them norma, rare and super rare when we'd be lucky to see them in the shops if they were mundane and common? :(

So I'm guessing that really does mean he killed restocking on purpose.

this whole restocking thing is ridiculous. I mean, you have a 43 common selling for 185K. In what world does that make sense? I guess in addition to hating restocking, they're killing off quests too? Because when the wizard is asking me to drop almost 200k on a common? Well, I'm not sure 20 tokens is worth that.

Radiation is finished! Sorry if I get confused sometimes, I just had brain surgery!

Thank you for all the kind thoughts and wishes while I'm in the hospital again!

I´ve got a question: Is it normal to announce an new weapon and then not restock it the whole day? Seriously I planted my butt in front of Weapons Warehouse and refreshed the shop every two seconds (the whole day, I´m not exaggerating -____-) because I really want to have the . I haven´t seen it in a trade or user shop either. I´m really confused now. I don´t want to spend another day wasting my time like this. I´m new at the whole restocking business therefore I don´t know if this is a normal procedure.

. It's a Super Rare item so it wouldn't have restocked very often even before restocking was killed. It's probably too rare to vend as well so the only real chance of getting it will be as a quest prize.

- why are new items being made Super Rare when restocking no longer works?

A Super Rare item could go for days without restocking and then restock a couple of times in fairly quick succession. There was no real pattern to it.

You could just ask me if you were curious about the Atebus shop. xD We have no immediate plans to close it. With how well monthly themes are going and how much attention we've been able to focus on places, we might not end up closing it (especially since we have other things on our plate more important than the stargazer changes we were hoping to make). I posted on the "too many wearables going out" thread that I'm not against doing a proper Atebus themed month, and if we did it like December/January (I say this because we already have like the next 5 month themes planned), we might actually get stargazer updated without killing the shop. There is a board in Suggestions & Ideas about expanding the pool for Alexanders quests, you can post suggestions you think would help quests there. :) Because we want the item to be 'super rare'? The other versions of that shotgun that someone posted is going for like 750 and 1500 (or something like that for the BHH one) wizard tokens. Making it a 'common' restock is silly. It's not like we make every new item in the super rare range.

From what I've seen, it would look that the restockable shotgun is actually harder to get than the BHH one. I not asking for the rarity to be lowered, but to change the stock rate so we can have super rare items stocking a few times a day.

I can appreciate making some items Super Rare when restocking worked. It's just that there are several topics with umpteen posts each about how restocking has been killed. Common, Normal and Rare items are starting to hit ridiculous prices in user shops because they don't restock as they should. What hope is there of new Super Rares ever turning up now? :(

We've been patiently waiting for Keith to make further comments on the situation but there's been nothing. :( :(

I know you've got nothing to do with coding the restocks so it's not your fault.

Man, fuck this. Subeta's not getting another penny of my cash until Keith gets his act together. I would honestly advise other people to do the same - after all, what good are the Autopricer and extra quests if restocking is as disgustingly broken as it is?
